>if the owner is the sole authority in determining who gets into their property, they can refuse anybody for any reason whatsoever, and no regulation or policy can stand in the way Err... this didn't work out too well in the past, which is why now I can't put up a sign in my store that says "No Mexicans." Or as a landlord I cant say "I only rent to whites." These regulations didn't arise out of nowhere... I'm not sure what the rest of your post is about. Other than food establishments it is generally the owner's choice to allow animals ot not. Most people just don't allow animals. You can bring your dog to PetsMart.
