"and if someone gets super defensive about that question, odds are good that it is indeed a fake service animal."
Or maybe they don't want to defend their right to a service animal to every single person that asks and thinks their animal is fake? This strategy might unveil some fakers, but it is also incredibly derisive to those with these animals to be lumped into the same group as fakers.

- CydeWeys 7y agoUnless you're going to put chip readers in every place of public accommodation, this won't help much.
- compsciphd 7y agoit wouldn't be hard or expensive for places that care about allowing service animals to get a chip reader.
- CydeWeys 7y agoEvery place of public accommodation, i.e. all businesses, are required to allow service animals. "Caring" isn't optional.
- compsciphd 7y agomany places don't care to exclude pets at all. they don't care. many places might decide its not worth caring about if its a real service animal or not. they don't care. the only places that care are the places that would want to actively exclude non service animals.
- basch 7y agobut theres no official body to certify them. first youd have to come up with what counts and what doesnt. at the moment anyone can start up a certification business. its like being ordained.
