Abusing the ADA like this sounds an awful lot like the hordes of jerks who abuse it so they can take their animals wherever they like regardless if the animal is trained or not (usually not). According to the ADA, if someone has a service animal, the business can inquire as to what the animal is trained to do. That's it. Asking about what malady made the animal necessary is not allowed. That's the nasty little loophole that people have found for carrying around their yip-yip dogs in purses and filthy things that poop and pee everywhere, get distracted, and attack random people and objects. A business can eject someone for having an unruly animal, but doing this often results in wasting time and money on legal expenses and/or dealing with blockheaded idiots in upper management. And for what it's worth, only DOGS are allowed to be proper service animals -- no bringing your therapy snake into the bistro.
