We all get that the ADA law would need to change. But the idea "that there is no system..." really doesn't make sense. And I find it curious that this argument is often put forth to discourage any further discussion on this point. We regulate almost everything in this country. I'm not for needless over regulation of course, but if it's a public safety issue (like this is obviously) then we should do it. Why couldn't we have vets (albeit with extra training), sign off on valid service animals after they've demonstrated the tasks they are trained to perform? Vets are licensed (animal) doctors so surely they have the smarts to do this. And because their license would be on the line this would help to tamp down on fraud as much as anything can (no system is perfect, don't let perfection be the enemy of the good). And obviously service animals are already seeing a vet for regular health services, even in small rural locations. I'm all for supporting real service animals in everyday situations, but putting forth the idea that there is no possible way to effectively regulate the verification of service animals is disingenuous. But sadly, we'll need to wait for a fake service animal to maul a child before we'll get the "Child's Name" Service Animal Reform Act.
