Letter: Leave nonservice animals at home

Owners of pets, fake service animals and emotional support animals, be courteous to other customers, employees, those with disabilities and service animals by leaving nonservice animals at home.

The ADA defines a service animal as a dog that is trained to perform a task for someone with a disability. The task must be directly related to the disability. The ADA definition does not include pets, or emotional support animals, or any animal besides a dog or miniature horse.

Your animal poses a health and safety risk to others. In addition, those around you may find your animal annoying.
