Sure, but blind people can make the case that they absolutely need them. The diabetes and PTSD shite is a retarded excuse for bringing your dog with you everywhere- totally precautionary and easily substituted by non-canine means.
Snowflakes ruining good things for everyone.

There are better service dogs walking across LSU's campus.

So you think PTSD is not real?

Oh it's real, I don't think having it justifies a person bringing a dog with them in public areas where a dog would otherwise not be permitted.

Are many people really abusing this though? I've only ever read about this on the internet with the "emotional support service dogs." I've never actually seen this in real life.
I think that I'd rather let a few assholes get away with something a little ridiculous, but probably generally harmless, than harass legitimately disabled people and have them justify their condition everywhere they go.
Disclaimer: I don't know the specific language of whatever this thing is or how it would be enacted. I do know that a lot of ridiculous shite goes in front of our legislature and some of it actually passes.

If a dog helps someone with PTSD interact normally in public...I'm ok with that.
ETA: I would imagine it is those public areas where the dog may be needed the most by someone with PTSD.

To be fair Service dogs are complete and utter BS. I got mad at the wife for always making me waste $300+/week to board our dog when we traveled so the breeder we got him from gave us her psychologist friend and got us a service dog approval and now the dog travels for free with us everywhere we go. Its a 2 lb dog its hardly a service dog and the whole things a joke but no complaints from me I save $1500+ a year in dog boarding now

The solution is simple- if a person is too emotionally unstable to be in a certain place without a dog, they should not be there at all, period.

That could not be further from the truth.

You are gaming the system and are a piece of shite for breaking the law a-hole.

Yes. A licensed service dog should wear the vest that shows what they are. My parents had a bullmastiff that was a service dog.
All these people that walk around with "service" dogs aren't really service dogs and just want to take them everywhere.
Used to have a rather large female come to the office with her chihuahua and said it was a service dog.

Not a service dog, emotional support animals are not covered by the ADA. You can kick the dog out quick fast unless that hospital has its own rules about ESA dogs. Service dogs perform a particular service for a true disability, such as seeing eye dogs.

Also not a service dog, perfectly fine to restrict access to these as well.

Well I was the charge nurse that night and we already had a lot of other stuff going on on the floor. I didn't have time to research hospital policy about service/emotional dogs and didn't have the time or the energy to deal with some woman filing a complaint against me. I allowed the dog up but told the woman another family member had to hold the dog outside of the patient's room and since it was already 11 pm at night..the aunt could only visit for a few minutes and then needed to leave.
The entire family (except for the child)was really trashy to begin with and had been constantly annoying staff with frivolous requests that had nothing to do with the actual child as the patient and their care.
We had been running around like crazy that night cause we had some other kids that were really sick and needed our urgent attention. I heard the doorbell go off(we are a locked unit and approve any visitors via a camera outside the unit). Just remember seeing that crazy woman with her dog at 11 pm and thinking "you have to be fricking kidding me"

99% of service animals are utter bullshite.

I feel like the service dog thing is out of control. Like the guy who brings a dog to the Dome because he has PTSD, sorry if your PTSD is so bad you need a dog to calm your nerves, maybe being around 70,000 screaming people isn't the best place for you.
If you are blind or have seizures or something that requires a dog, then fine. If you need a dog to make you feel better, that's not a service dog, that's a typical pet.
