Complaints about service, etc.

[Reservoir Dog]

I guess I'll express my opinion, if I may. Expect major cynicism that you've come to expect. Any trained Service dogs for blind and other physically handicapped persons has been around for decades and is acceptable anywhere- work, food places, airline flights, supermarkets, etc. I have no problem staying at a motel that allows small dogs and cats- This last visit I made friends with the neighbors dog and even took it running around at the local park a couple of times. BUT- this whole "Support Animal" BS is a totally different story. I've done no research on it because I don't care, but I'm guessing it's origins are on the West/East coasts where social norms are a joke. I remember reading a few years ago where the first airline announced their "support animal" policy. I fell out of my chair laughing. Sure enough, "support" tarantulas, kangaroos, endless that it didn't take long to shut that shit down (Who didn't see that coming?). Badly, a couple a kids got mauled in check in lines to make this subject extremely not funny. So, bottom line. If you are so emotionally crippled you can't visit somewhere outside your home without an animal by your side, you probably need never leave home. And a final point, It's another "progressive" agenda (like gays, trans, whatever) where the other 96-98% of the entire population are expected to bend and accommodate this tiny percentage. Fuck that crap. Thanks for letting me have my say.

Parts are understandable, the annoyance with the proliferation of support critters is is shared when it is an animal that causes issues, the rest seems like it was tossed together like a drunken midnight snack.

Nope. And I'll go a step further. Again, it's just an attitude from someone (me) that seems steeped in the past. It may piss people off, create outrage but it's push back to the pussification of US society that's been going on for 4 decades. It's a very minor point in the relentless "Progressive Agenda". It involve your pets. In my life, I've owned several dogs, cats, gerbils, whatever. I'm just dumbfounded at the attitude that these animals are "family". I get the relationship- you feed it, take care of it, it gives you pleasure. Dogs are really hard to ignore. But, I just don't get the outpouring of grief when a pet dies. Let me get this straight- you got a puppy when you were 18. Your life expectancy is another 60-70 years (dogs- maybe 10), so you know you are going to have multiple dogs/ cats in your lifetime. So, what's the point of getting so emotionally involved in one pet when you know the end game. I've never understood.

Quality over quantity.

I don't know what that means. My point is you know you are going to outlive a certain pet by many decades. So, what's with the tears? Like it's a shock you never so coming?

I'd kill someone over my dogs quicker than I would over most people.

[WestTexasCrude]

I've had some of the greatest pets over the decades, enjoyed them all. But they are just pets destined to die long before you do. I just don't understand the sentimental love lavished on one pet and then be all shocked when it passes. It's an animal with a certain life span. Use your love for your pet on fellow humans.

I hear you. I guess what I'm saying is, that puppy growing up is your best friend, Great dog- immense pleasure for years. Treasure it. But to be all shocked when you outlive it? I've never understood.

[Wut]

Shock and grief are significantly different emotions.

Most fellow humans cant give me the unconditional love and companionship without the conditions, baggage, and betrayal that a pet does. The more I interact with the general public, the better I like my dogs.

I've known that for years, and no, not quite. You forget that I was conservative for many years until they went bat shit crazy. I didnt leave them, they left reality.

Same here, but with my cats. I've always said "all my very best friends are my cats" and it's true. They ask nothing more from me than they know I can give them. There really isn't anything better in life than waking up with one of my beloved felines on or near me, giving me a gentle boop on the nose with a freshly licked paw. I do know that one day they'll all be dead, and maybe there'll be others to follow. That's OK, it's expected, but I've given them a chance for a long life of safety and satiety.
