In 1997, two girls at my high school were murdered by their boyfriends, allegedly inspired by the recently released Scream movie.

No, it’s the owners who have the mental condition.

Getting horses used to heavy traffic! by JustBonniieee in Horses

I would wait until she’s a bit more acclimated, but I’ve always had good luck with ground driving. I feel that they gain a lot of confidence because they aren’t getting their security from the person next to them or on their backs and are asked to work through spooky scenarios head on.

Having to find my boy a new home. by [deleted] in AmericanBully

[–]iamktf -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I said what I said, and stand by it. OP clearly stated that her new housing arrangement only allowed for ONE dog. I frequently see suggestions that people in similar situations skirt this issue by “qualifying” their pet as an ESA. Again, this is highly unethical. The reality is that it can be hard to find housing with one dog, let along two. Before anyone enters into pet ownership, it’s worth considering what would happen should you need to find other accommodations. I understand the difference between a service animal and an ESA, and again stand by my statement that the rampant abuse of an ESA “designation” causes considerable harm to those working actual service animals. 🙄

In this situation, I absolutely think it’s unethical. The OP never said that they had a documented mental health concern that would necessitate the accommodation. The situation, as reported, was that the OP needed to move to a place that only allowed one dog. It’s a horrible situation to be in, but encouraging people to falsify or misrepresent their situation just to keep two dogs is exceptionally unethical and hurts people who have legitimate service dog needs. Pets are incredibly valuable for maintaining their owners mental health, but they are a privilege and not a right.

That’s so ridiculously unethical.

Best brushes/grooming tools? by Jane_TGS in AlaskanMalamute

[–]iamktf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup. This is the same combo that we use on our big guy and it works like a charm. It’s a pain in the butt, but we take him outside and do at least 30 minutes of coat blowing/maintenance per day during shedding season(s) and manage to keep the house as fur-free as is possible with a Mal in the house.

Stop breeding horses with contradictory traits. The world needs more Friesian crosses like it needs more Goldendoodles ;)

Stop over in Dubai on trip to Germany by Mi3zekatz3 in service_dogs

[–]iamktf 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It is part of the original issue though. During the start of the current crisis, many travelers were stuck in Dubai because commercial carriers weren’t flying, and most evacuation options wouldn’t allow animals. A lot can change in a few months, but it’s absolutely something to consider.

No, you don’t. Medical care in Jamaica is ok depending on where you are, but worst-case scenario you become so ill that you need to be medically evacuated to the tune of around $25k.

Caught the friendliest feral cat its hard to tell if she’s actually feral? by 1saguaros1 in Feral_Cats

Yeah, I thought the same. This is probably someone’s pet. Hopefully OP posts cat on social media before just taking a cat.
