Wisconsin City Bans Use of Kangaroos As Service Animals
AP June 20, 2015 BEAVER DAM, Wisconsin -- Officials have changed a southeastern Wisconsin city's rules on service animals after a woman took a baby kangaroo into a McDonald's restaurant. The Beaver Dam Daily Citizen reports the City's Common Council voted 14-0 Monday night to define a service animal as a dog or miniature horse, but not a kangaroo. Police can cite people who try to use other animals. Beaver Dam police say the woman wrapped the baby kangaroo in a blanket and tucked it in an infant car seat, then took it inside a McDonald's in February. The woman has said the kangaroo is a therapy animal to help her cope with emotional distress. City Attorney Maryann Schacht says the changes comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act. ![]() |

Should be an illegal ban. People with anxiety issues, and other stress related issues use other animals aside from traditional pets as well. (I'm sure some of it is bullshit, but still) If prescribed by a licensed Dr. for the patient to have an (select animal of patient's choice) then it is a service animal.

More to the point, why would you? I mean, down in Australia they pretty much give 'em away for free. ![]() |

Well, traditionally, with money. Although, I suppose barter may be an option. |

ADA regulations / Service dogs are bullshit. $70.00 and have a service dog. No training required.
