Save Our Service Animals

We, the undersigned, believe:

That the new service animal law (recognizing only dogs as service animals) is unfair and too restrictive;
That there needs to be an alternative species of service animal for disabled people who are allergic to dogs, physically unable to care for or walk dogs, or just too afraid of dogs;
That blind people who use miniature horses as guide animals are using animals the size of Great Dane dogs, and therefore deserve the same access granted to guide dog users;
That war veterans using service cats for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder or other Anxiety Disorders must be allowed to continue using their service cats, and also civilians with PTSD or Anxiety;
That service monkeys for paralyzed people deserve full legal protection as service animals in the event of emergency evacuation of their homes, and that the monkeys and their people must be allowed to remain together; and
That hearings on Capitol Hill would be appropriate so our legislators can hear testimony from disabled people who use service animals.

Redefining the Americans with Disabilities Act definition of "service animal" to mean only "dog" is an injustice, and a grave erosion of the civil rights of disabled people. The new definition of service animals makes no provision for disabled people who are allergic to dogs, or who need an alternative species, and as such is government-sponsored discrimination against many disabled Americans. Reclassifying hundreds of existing monkeys, mini horses, and non-canine service animals as "pets" is unconscionable.
