SYDNEY: WE'VE SEEN THAT
AIRLINES ARE CRACKING DOWN ON
ANIMALS. JUST LAST WEEK -- A
TEXAS STATE STUDENTS SAYS SHE
WAS TOLD TO FLUSH HER
EMOTIONAL SUPPORT HAMPSTER..
TO MAKE HER FLIGHT. SO WHAT
DOES THE LAW SAY? KXAN'S WES
RAPAPORT. ASKED A GROUP OF
LAWYERS FOR SOME ANSWERS.
THESE PUPS LOOK LIKE THEY'RE
TAKING AN AFTERNOON SNOOZE,
BUT THEY'RE ACTUALLY HARD AT
WORK. "CALM AND CONFIDENT"
PALADIN AND LEIA ARE PUPPIES
WITH A PURPOSE, TRAINING TO
BECOME SERVICE ANIMALS.THE
PAIR JOINED THEIR TRAINERS TO
MEET A GROUP OF CENTRAL TEXAS
LAWYERS WITH QUESTIONS ABOUT
THE RULES AND REGULATIONS
RELATED TO SERVICE ANIMALS AND
EMOTIONAL SUPPORT ANIMALSâ|
(TERMS MOSTLY MISUSED)FIRST:
DEFINITIONS ARE KEYâ|CINDY
SMILEY/SMILEY LAW FIRM"THE
SERVICE ANIMAL IS AN ANIMAL
TRAINED TO PERFORM WORK OR
TASKS FOR THE BENEFIT OF A
PERSON WITH A DISABILITY. THE
EMOTIONAL SUPPORT ANIMAL IS AN
ANIMAL THAT PROVIDES COMFORT
OR SUPPORT FOR A PERSON WITH A
DISABILITY, BUT IT DOESN'T
HAVE TO HAVE THE
INDIVIDUALIZED TRAINING TO
PERFORM THAT TASK."ANOTHER
MISCONCEPTION? LAWYER CINDY
SMILEY SAYS YOU DO áNOT NEED
TO HAVE ANY WRITTEN PROOF OR
REGISTRATION THAT SAYS YOURS
IS A SERVICE ANIMAL.WHETHER
IT'S A DOG, OR A MINATURE
HORSE, AS LONG AS IT CAN
RECOGNIZE AND PERFORM A
SERVICE RELATED TO THE
PERSON'S DISABILITY, IT
QUALIFIES.LOIS
FOSTER/VOLUNTEER PUPPY RAISER,
GUIDE DOGS FOR THE BLIND
BUSINESS OWNERS ARE VERY
UNSURE AND UNCLEAR ABOUT WHAT
THEIR RIGHTS ARE // WHEN
SOMEONE COMES IN WITH THE DOG,
IS IT A TRUE SERVICE ANIMAL
THAT NEEDS, THAT IS PROTECTED
UNDER FEDERAL AND STATE LAW?
OR IS IT JUST SOMEONE WHO
WANTS TO BRING THEIR PET IN?
THERE ARE ONLY TWO QUESTIONS
YOU CAN ASK SOMEONE WHOSE
DISABILITY IS NOT OBVIOUS:
CINDY SMILEY/SMILEY LAW FIRMIS
THE SERVICE ANIMAL REQUIRED
BECAUSE OF A DISABILITY?AND
WHAT TYPE OF SERVICE IS THE
ANIMAL TRAINED TO PERFORM?
EXPERTS SAY DO YOUR RESEARCH -
SO YOU'RE PREPARED FOR ANY
POSSIBLE ENCOUNTERS DOWN THE
LINEâ|WES RAPAPORT, KXAN
NEWSSYDNEY: AS FAR AS AIRLINES
GO, EACH COMPANY HAS ITS OWN
RULES TO GO ALONG WITH FEDERAL
