Man, I am on a roll today with the number of posts.
Normally, I don’t believe that government is the answer. However, in cases where the government has created the problem, we need to call on government to make adjustments to fix the problem that they created. Case in point:
Fake service dogs are only possible because government has made it a crime to discriminate against those with service animals, and have made it a crime to even ask them to prove that the animal is, in fact, a service animal. This is where the law needs a tweak. Service dogs cost thousands of dollars. Adding the requirement that the owners who have a service animal have a government issued ID for the service animal, proving that the animal in question is actually a service animal, would keep people like this blue haired freak from faking it to be a pain in the ass.

The magnitude of freaks, fakes, and fraudsters in civilian society today is supreceeded only by those numbers of freaks, fakes and fraudsters in government. Not until society gets its head out of its ass and and grows true leaders and patriots will the US stop its downward slide into self destruction. But you already know this.

Reminds me of the joke:
Two ladies in Scottsdale, AZ in July are walking their dogs but getting mighty thirsty.
Just then they pass a bar & grill and the first lady says, “Let’s go in here for a cold beer.”
The second lady says, “Sounds good, but they won’t serve us because of our dogs and it’s too hot to leave them outside!”
The first lady says, “No worries, just say what I say.”
When they enter, the bartender says, “Hi, ladies. Sorry, but we can’t allow your dogs inside.”
Lady 1: “Oh, that’s OK, he’s a service dog.”
Bartender: “A service rottweiler?”
Lady 1: “Yes, they make great service dogs.”
Bartender: “Who knew? Come on in, then.”
Lady 2: Hi, I’d like a cold Pabst please.”
Bartender:” Sorry, ma’am, but we can’t have your dog on the premises.”
Lady 2: “Oh, that’s OK, he’s a service dog.”
Bartender: “A service chihuahua?”
Lady 2: “Oh my God, they sold me a fuckin’ chihuahua?”

It’s hardly her fault. How would she know?
She mistook Pabst for beer.

When I see videos like the above, wherein government has enabled multicolor-haired snowflakes to (pretend to) function in public spaces I content myself by the realization that these creatures are the bottom of the barrel; they will be the first to be swallowed whole in any actual civil unrest, zombie apocalypse scenario.
Utterly helpless, self-absorbed and sanctimonious quoters of Federal Statutes will eagerly populate the boxcars that will be coming for everyone.
“Don’t push, don’t rush, folks.” It’s “standing room only” in there anyway.

I had a diabetic service dog and the training it received was comparable to a seeing eye dog, harness and and a vest stating her role. She was trained to sense a hypoglycemic state and alert me before it became a problem. A properly trained service dog does not sit and take snacks from it’s ward. I get damned pissed when people bring in unruly and dirty dogs into stores and restaurants and exclaim it is a service dog. It is not, a cheap chinesuim vest from the internet does not make the service dog/parrot/hamster/miniature horse/peacock a service animal. A service dog is an investment in money and time and training, both for you and the dog. For instance the dog trained(Golden Retriever) was about $8.000, flying to San Diego where the training facility was, airfare, lodging for two weeks and that cost, $2500 and the two weeks training for me was $3200, so, an investment. and I received a card issued by the state of California I had a trained, diabetic service dog.

Yeah. Friend has a kid with issues, one of which includes bolting. Got a trained Bernese Mountain Dog – expensive – whose job is to calm the kid down, and barring that, catch and hold.
Too many people sticking jackets on their pets and trying to bring them onto flights.

What’s needed here is that the mentally ill fool be given a blast of pepper spray in the face and the dog should be given a treat to help make up for being owned by a degenerate like that.

Federal law is different for service animals vs emotional support animals. Laws also vary by state. Under Nevada law, one of the duties of a service dog is to protect its owner.
Yes, this is abused and maybe it’s getting out of hand, but my tripalegic wife is training her 5th personal service dog and the previous 4 have made a profound difference in her quality of life.
Since the ADA *doesn’t require papers or a license (or a vest) we’re able to take relatively inexpensive animals and put them in service.
The whole issue should become moot when Elon’s robots become cheap.
For the time being, the ADA’s language leaves the barrier to entry low enough for people like us to get the benefits without any bureaucratic BS and we’d like to keep it that way, abusers notwithstanding.

A license showing that the dog has been trained to perform a service would not cost much. $10 or so? Instead, the government places the burden of compliance on others. This may sound mean, but why should the rest of us carry that burden without regard for those who would lie and abuse it?
I won’t mention where you are because I don’t want to dox you, but your IP isn’t in Nevada, nor is your IP the address of a known VPN.
