We HATE to hear people claiming that task trained service dogs can predict seizures. Science and doctors say "no" they can't. 11alive.com/article/news/c…

A woman was arrested for abandoning her dog at an airport ticket counter at Las Vegas airport, police said. Footage shows the moment she left her 2-year-old goldendoodle at a JetBlue counter. According to police, she failed to complete the documentation required to travel with the dog as a service animal. After her boarding pass was denied, she abandoned the dog. She was later confronted by police at her departure gate, where she said the airline would not allow her to fly with the dog, according to authorities. She added that the dog had a tracking device, police said, implying the dog would be returned to her. While escorting her back to the dog, she "became hostile and resisted officers' attempts to detain her," police said. The woman was arrested for animal abandonment and for resisting arrest.

🐾 Abandoned at the Airport… but Not Forgotten We can’t believe we have to say this… but please don’t abandon your dog at the airport — or anywhere else. On February 2, 2026, at approximately 11:39 p.m., LVMPD officers assigned to Harry Reid International Airport responded to Terminal 3 after receiving reports of a dog that had been tied to a metal carry-on baggage sizer and left behind at the JetBlue ticket counter. Airline staff advised the dog’s owner she was required to complete online documentation in order to travel with the animal as a service dog. When the required paperwork was not completed, the passenger was denied a boarding pass. She then left the dog behind and proceeded through the airport to the departure gate. Officers later located the individual at Gate D1. When asked why she abandoned the dog, she stated the airline would not allow her to fly with it and claimed the dog had a tracking device — implying it was acceptable to leave the animal behind and it would return to her. While escorting her back through the security checkpoint, she became hostile and resisted officers’ attempts to detain her. She was arrested and booked for: ▪️ Animal Abandonment ▪️ Resisting Arrest Airport employees and LVMPD Officers immediately stepped in to care for the approximately 2-year-old golden doodle/mini poodle while the owner was processed. Animal Protective Services took custody of the dog. After the mandatory 10-day hold period passed and the owner never returned, Retriever Rescue of Las Vegas stepped in. The dog — now affectionately named “Jet Blue” — is safe, in foster care, and will soon be placed in a new, loving home ❤️ This incident highlights: ✔️ LVMPD’s zero-tolerance stance on animal abuse and neglect ✔️ Strong collaboration between airport staff, TSA, Animal Control and Retriever Rescue of Las Vegas ✔️ That abandoning an animal is a serious criminal offense Event #: LLV260200007309

@Costco You need to correct your policy. It's NOT ADA compliant. customerservice.costco.com/app/answers/an…

28 C.F.R. § 36.302(c)(6) (2025) Generally, a public accommodation may not make these inquiries about a service animal when it is readily apparent that an animal is trained to do work or perform tasks for an individual with a disability

Sorry Disabled Georgians, you're excluded from @GovKemp plans.

Ableist live. One of them runs the @HHSGov You'd think as a 14 year heroin addict, he would know there is a difference. 12-step programs are a peer-support framework for addiction, not a medical treatment for DSM-5 psychiatric disabilities. dredf.org/new-cuts-to-ad….

Should pregnant women be allowed disability parking access? Authors say it's not a disability, would be good for 1 year, not restrict stage of pregnancy. #disability #Florida adatitleiii.com/2025/12/disabi…

How can you hang a DIGITAL pass from your car's rear-view mirror/dash as required for parking at many locations? You're really expecting visitors with disabilities to print a PDF prior to arrival? @NatlParkService @USACEHQ @USFWS @BLMNational @usbr @forestservice
