    This article gives insight into the relationship between the Humane Society and the V.A. that was formed to provide shelter dogs as services dogs to veterans. Furthermore, the article provides a background as to why after two years of being active the program has only given services dogs to 19 veterans. It goes on to explain how veterans who suffer from PTSD would benefit from having a service dog.

    Dogs are expensive. I wonder how effective this is compared to other cheaper treatments.

    I believe it is crucial for PTSD. I think there is no reason the insurance company shouldn't cover this for veterans.

    Dogs can be expensive but they can be so beneficial and such a cheaper effective way to help someone in need.

    This is about the animal cruelty and abuse dealing with dog fighting. This is when the owners force the dogs to fight other dogs, resulting in death for many of the dogs.

No dogs in this shop." The mother, Katy McCaffery told Mr. Miah that it is against the law to deny 'Kizzy.' He stated that he did not care if he was breaking the law.

    A Fordham University student's (name withheld) request to allow a service dog was denied. She suffers from Ankylosing Spondybarthrisis (AS). It caused her body to be "inflamed and painful." Denying her rights violates Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act. She was offered $5000 by the college but refused to accept it because she feels like the college is paying her to keep quiet.

    Tessa Urban is blind and needs her dog Dazzle to go places. When the Uber driver came to pick her up, he immediately back out and left. Urban was charged for a trip she did not take. Her "driver" was fired and she was later reimbursed. This is only one of many cases in which Uber has discriminated against service animals.

During the protest, non-violent protesters were attacked by dogs and pepper sprayed without waning.

    The key distinction to remember is that a psychiatric service animal is actually trained to perform certain tasks that are directly related to an individual's psychiatric disability. The dog's primary role is not to provide emotional support. It is to assist the owner with the accomplishment of vital tasks they otherwise would not be able to perform independently.

    Dogs are constantly bred in harsh conditions to keep the puppy industry strong. They are not bred in healthy conditions and are marked up for a massive profit.

    I have a very strong love for animals & its awful what they have to go through. That's why I always tell people to "adopt & not shop" because people who shop are contributing to these harsh conditions that animals endure.

    Stated clearly, pit bulls can be aggressive but it is there trainers that mostly have the negative effects on them. All dogs can be aggressive but in this article the pit bull is very popular for there aggressiveness.

    Yes there are many restaurants that accept animals, they have even given menus for the convenience of the animals. Even though most places will not accept our beloved pets it is not hard to find a respectable restaurant that accepts animals.

    I agree this is a very controversial topic. In my opinion, it's truly hard to pick a side due to the fact that I understand both perspectives. Regardless, it's an issue that I hope gets resolved, eventually.

    I don't like the idea that "gun ownership deters crime." Criminals are criminals, because they don't consider the consequences of their actions. They don't evaluate if the person has a weapon, a child, or a dog. Gun ownership from my perspective only increases the likelyhood that one of those weapons is going to fire.

    Gun control is a difficult topic to discuss. More gun control laws will not end shootings. On both sides of the spectrum, there are pros and cons to more or less gun control laws.
