Is my emotional support animal going to contaminate the food in a fast food business? She is constrained and trained to protocol. I’m ordering at the counter, nowhere near to where the food is prepared.

Yes, I can order online and have it delivered. Why should I hide to please society? I have the right to be part of society. Who are you to say the other customers don’t approve of it. I was taught you can’t speak for others as they have a right to decide for themselves.

Society is closed-minded and don’t like change. Society is stuck in yesteryear when it comes to mental disability and disorders.

Why should I be denied when I also just would like to have a “normal” life. Society frowns upon mental disorders and it is considered unacceptable. Who are you to judge or deny people with mental disorders to be part of society?

I will support the businesses that have welcomed me and my emotional support dog as a client or customer, and will spread the word that there are business owners in Welkom who show empathy.
