Aurelia, Iowa - Your Opinion on Service Dogs Does Not Matter

I was going to post this tomorrow, but will post today and add that a judge (as anyone w/ half a brain knew would) ordered the disabled man's service dog to be returned to him, despite a ban on dogs who look a certain way.

Dear Aurelia, Iowa - Your Opinion on Service Dogs Does Not Matter

Aurelia banned Pit Bulls.

Aurelia does not understand that this ban does not exempt service dogs. Per the federal Americans with Disabilities Act, a person cannot be denied equal access or equal rights based on their service dog's breed.

I am going to guess that Aurelia will get the same response that Aurora and Denver have gotten - stop it.

Alternatively, before they spend taxpayer money on defending their illegal actions, they could simply abide by federal law and permit this person the legal right to have a service dog, regardless of breed. Currently, they are denying this man equal access and equal rights.

Otherwise, Aurelia is simply violating federal law and, more importantly, discriminating against persons with disabilities.
