The animals do technically need to be licensed, but for some dumb reason you

That's what I think too whether it's a collar or a vest, there

soupie

It's the vest. It's already something you legally need to get certification for

coltonbyu

7/10/18 11:10pm

The vests are also really hard to get. You can't just order them on Amazon...

Yep. This is the problem. Not enforced

This confirms what most know/suspect. With it being such a sensitive subject

I hate it being abused

Yes . One should be ticketed for lying in this regard

CarolinaCoug

I thouggt of this. Yes there should be a standard federal id AND

CarolinaCoug

7/11/18 12:50pm

There should be separate vests

Mabuhay Coug

IMO a proper federal guidelline for licence for service

Most people with auto immune or invisible disabilities are good at hiding them

Mabuhay Coug

Lol. Yep, needs to be far more official than that.

soupie

The vest should just have the license attached

I was in a local grocery store about a week ago and someone had a dog

They are a menace for sure

Born2Fish

Was the dog a service animal?

Mabuhay Coug

7/11/18 11:35am

This is precisely why I think licensing would be welcome by those who need them.

soupie

7/11/18 11:57am

So why did you give my post a thumbs down since we agree?

cougarmanguy

7/11/18 12:09pm

It was your last line

Mabuhay Coug

7/11/18 12:25pm

People who take advantage of this system are nightmares. Of course they are

cougarmanguy

the phrase "take advantage of" can be interpreted positively or negatively

I guess.

At the place where I work we are absolutely prohibited from asking.

Maybe the pets are there to help them with those mental issues. 🙂

The best way I have heard of dealing with this is to ask what their service

That is a HIPAA violation

Here are the rules and standards for a service dog under the ADA

Mabuhay Coug

Can you ask to see the permit?

yep. looks like asking what the dog is trained for is specifically allowed

coltonbyu

7/11/18 12:36pm

Regular people arent bound by HIPPA btw. Could be harassment though

coltonbyu

Guess you have to risk offending one person to not offend other customers at

classycoug

Looks like it is not a HIPAA violation

Questions one can ask, directly from ADA website

Mabuhay Coug

7/11/18 11:28pm

HIPPA is not the correct term you want to use I believe.

Radioactive Coug

7/12/18 12:29am

HIPAA is correct

Mabuhay Coug

7/12/18 8:01am

No--HIPAA only applies to health care providers/industry professionals

Goliath

7/12/18 9:34am

Goliath is correct. HIPPA is meant as a control for people who already have access to your health information.

Radioactive Coug

7/12/18 10:33am

HIPPA is meant to protect privacy in all situations

Mabuhay Coug

Dude, we know all about it being illegal for them to ask. We said as much. Everything you say is accurate, except that

Thats exactly what the person recommended, then you said it would be HIPAA.
