GUIDE DOG FRAUD

Pretend Dogs, Reptiles, Birds are Downgrading Professional Service Animals

A service animal is one trained by professionals to perform tasks which benefit a person with a medical disability.  A well-trained  service animal can guide a blind person across a street, alert someone with impaired hearing to the presence of people or the sound of a phone or a smoke detector or an alarm clock ringing, pull a wheelchair, retrieve dropped items, etc. -- all in accordance with The Americans with Disabilities Act.  Traditionally, dogs have served this role in America; more recently, miniature horses have begun to replace canines as service animals.  Any physical or mental condition which substantially limits a major life activity such as caring for oneself, performing manual tasks, walking, seeing, hearing, speaking, breathing, and working is considered a disability.

A service animal -- whether canine or equine (dog or horse) -- might wear specialized equipment such as a backpack, harness, special collar or leash.  A service dog may be of any breed or size but is generally a purebred Golden Retriever or German Shepherd.  Guide dogs are professionals.  Their skills are developed to enable them to perform their duties with confidence. They are not “pet dogs” for they have been carefully bred, raised, and trained for the express purpose of providing a safe means of mobility for people who are blind or otherwise impaired/disabled. 

The men and women who have chosen to pursue careers as Guide Dog instructors undergo three years of apprenticeship and rigorous testing before receiving their licenses.  They are all highly motivated professionals who are dedicated to the mission of providing the very best training possible for dogs to guide the disabled.

A service animal, provided that its disabled owner is present, is permitted to come into places like shopping malls, department stores, hotels, schools, office buildings.  It may accompany its owner inside taxicabs and on buses and trains and airplanes.  In fact, the service animal must be welcomed into every place serving the public -- even if animals are otherwise banned there.

The disabled person at the end of the leash is responsible for his or her service dog or horse at every minute.  Service animals must obey leash laws.  Service animals must be vaccinated and be kept under the control of their disabled handler.  Service animals serve the handicapped.  A service dog is not a “companion animal.”  A service dog is not a “therapy dog.”

So-called “therapy dogs” have recently begun being touted as “aides for the elderly.”  The Eighty-Billion-Dollars-a-Year Pet Industry has found a new easy way to rob from women and men -- and the elderly who live on fixed incomes: con them into purchasing “therapy dogs.”  Now Pet Industry statistics pretend to show that dogs “reinforce companionship.”  In fact, of course, people reinforce positive companionship, whereas dog owners all-too-often mutate into lonely people.

No shopping mall, department store, or any other facility where food is handled should permit "fraud" dogs.  Hospitals or other healthcare facilities must never permit "fraud" dogs or pet-dogs.  The exception of course is a service animal with its accompanying disabled person being present.  Disgustingly, misfit dog fanciers have recent begun mass E-mailings in earnest to all dog owners to promote a new “show off” scheme: "Service Animals are Multiplying Like Doggone Rabbits" Wall Street Journal (February 24, 2011.)

This new practice of dressing up Dachshunds, Poodles, multi-multi-mix, lizards, etc. with fraudulent so-called "therapy-animals" is nothing but a con-artist scam to parade pets inside shopping malls.  These dogs are not -- and never will be -- service animals … and no disabled person is present to accompany them anyway.  Just another game for lonely misfits.

More and more disabled persons are turning to the Guide Horse to meet their service animal needs.  Professionally-trained miniature horses provide a safe, cost-effective, and reliable alternative to guide dogs for the visually impaired.

Lonely dog owners (not the disabled who rely on service animals for mobility assistance) seem to be at greater risk of developing memory- destroying Alzheimer’s Disease.  As millions of dog owners eat, sleep, bathe, and talk only with their dogs, study after study in recent years reveal that mentally-stimulating activities may reduce the onset of Alzheimer’s Disease.  Playing cards or Scrabble with humans, talking to humans, dining with humans, and even sleeping with humans seems to help reduce the decline of memory loss from aging and delays the onset of Alzheimer’s.  Intellectual stimulation “maintains” the brain as we age.

Scientists at the Rush Alzheimer’s Disease Center at Rush-Presbyterian-St. Luke’s Medical Center in Chicago, as reported in the February 2002 edition of the Journal of the American Medical Association, found that frequent participation in cognitively-stimulating activities reduces the risk of Alzheimer’s Disease. Their research examined everyday thought-provoking activities like reading books, newspapers, and magazines; engaging in card and board games; eating out or in with friends on a frequent basis; and traveling to visit museums with friends or groups of people.  Nowhere in the study was dog ownership found to be a “plus” in reducing the onset of Alzheimer’s Disease; after all, talking with a dog is extremely stupid.

http://www-news.uchicago.edu/releases/08/080118.epley.shtml

In sharp contrast to the Pet Industry’s frequent false claim that “dog ownership lengthens a person’s life,” the findings of the scientists should strike a chord among middle-aged and older people interested in preserving their cognitive health.  The study provided important new evidence that increased cognitive activity is related to reductions in the onset and severity of Alzheimer’s Disease.  During the course of the study, 111 people under evaluation developed Alzheimer’s Disease.  Comparing the levels of cognitive activity among all the people in the study, the men and women who were diagnosed with full-fledged Alzheimer’s Disease were all those participants with the lowest daily level of human interaction and intellectual stimulation. 

To review: the risk of developing Alzheimer’s Disease was lowest in those study participants whose mental activity was the highest.  In other words, lonely women and men who walk and talk to their dogs are placing themselves at great risk for Alzheimer’s Disease.  Furthermore, these same lonely people can be eaten by their questionable reptile companions.

                               

                  

Republicans (and Democrats):  Former Republican Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger -- with a little help from his close Republican friend -- wrote, campaigned, and passed the "death-of-political-parties" in California … Proposition 14.  The stable election process that has long been vital to all of us in the electoral system is now gone.  Poisonous Proposition 14 now makes likely unknown untested politicians run against each other. 

 

The increased risk of this kind of "mob rule" by the strongest celebrity is important to every voter in California.  Republicans are more vulnerable than ever.

 

Why did former Republican Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger do this?  One answer might be former First Lady Maria Shriver (Kennedy) Schwarzenegger's anger toward Republicans.  Former Governor Schwarzenegger's Democrat wife never once stood by Republicans at any event in the many years Arnold Schwarzenegger held his office.

 

Furthermore, former First Lady Shriver (Kennedy) forcefully "grabbed" Governor George Deukmejian's 1985 non-partisan Women's Conference and turned it into a personal forum of her own for left-wing Democrat women who share Lady Shriver's political views.  Insulting the State of California upon her exit as First Lady of California, she dismantled the Women's Conference to protect her audience.  

 

Goodbye Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and First Lady Maria Shriver (Kennedy) Schwarzenegger.  Regretfully, both of you will be tragically remembered.

Dog owners who sleep with their arms around their dogs snuggling and kissing each other: Do the dog owners need to worry?

I’ve heard and read over and over again that "dogs add years to a person’s life."  Is this ridiculous?  If, in fact, dogs are beneficial to a person's life, then why are insurance firms this year notifying all their dog owning clients that liability coverage will no longer be provided for their animals?  And why are medical studies now proving that dogs sleeping in their owners beds spread fatal diseases?

Pit Bull dogs and many other breeds are potentially very dangerous to youngsters when they are permitted to sleep with an infant, toddler, or older child.

In 2003 the "sub-culture" of dog ownership made national headlines.  Ask any exotic pet owners if a Prairie "Dog" is a dog and they will always say "yes."  These dog owners began spreading Monkeypox -- a virus closely related to Smallpox -- across the American Midwest.  Pet owners who kept Prairie "Dogs" in their homes -- perhaps sleeping in the same bed with the Prairie Dogs along with their pet dogs -- exposed themselves to the risk to the virus.

In 2004 dog camps popped-up everywhere across the United States. Scooping up dog feces/poop and mopping urine off floors was being being touted as a way for children to spend their summers.  Animal sanctuaries sent out brochures encouraging innocent children to pack their bags, go to camp, and clean dog manure.  Was this a paradise for children?

 

As dog owners continue to sleep, lip-kiss, share their eating plate with their dog -- that licks the plate, and talk only to their dogs -- placing dogs before children -- adults and children will be treated for illnesses long after the dog in the family is first seen by a veterinarian.

The travel industry is suffering in New York City.  Tourists are cancelling hotel reservations.  Mayor Michael Bloomberg must demand a "lite" form of DDT or its equivalent to permanently eradicate bed bug infestations in his city.  Furthermore, millions of Africans yearly die of Malaria as mosquitoes that carry the disease.

Bed bugs are everywhere. Bed bug infestations are destroying the tourist industry. They are in luxury hotels, resorts, and spas.

 

Bed bugs are in hospitals. Bed bugs are in university dormitories.  Bed bugs are living in government offices in Washington, D.C., law offices in New York City, Chicago office buildings and high-rise condominiums, Bloomingdale's, Macy's, thousands of stores, Broadway theater seats, movie theaters, Lincoln Center, Detroit's hotels, restaurants in San Francisco, and bed bug infestations are waiting for unsuspecting travelers in hotel chains, motels, bed & breakfasts, airline seats, and rental cars.  Bed bugs are even in ambulances.

 

ISSUE: The Centers for Disease Control's workers open your eyes!  Al Gore's nonsensical idea of Global Warming (now known as alleged Climate Change) is misguided.
 

Bed bugs cannot be eradicated without a form of DDT. Expensive bed bug monitor detectors attached to furniture in homes is "ridiculous." Bed bug sniffing dogs are "cute" and "silly" but are not effective in finding bed bugs. As a matter of fact, dogs carry bed bugs in their fur! Monitors fail.

 

 

 

Travelers and shoppers are canceling their hotel reservations in New York City. The reason: Bed Bug Infestations in luxury hotels and all chain hotels. Hyatt, Sheraton, Marriott, Hilton, and the luxurious Waldorf Astoria have bed bug infestations in their beautiful guest rooms.

Tourists cannot walk into Macy's or Bloomingdales along with hundred of shops without the fear of coming in contact with bed bugs.

Bed bugs are shutting down numerous businesses in New York City. Bed bugs are in theater seats, the famed Lincoln Center, soft seating in restaurants, taxi cabs, city buses, the subway, medical offices, law offices, pet stores, food markets, and bed bugs have been found in the Empire State Building.

While the entire travel industry appears to "turn its back" on the overwhelming ever-growing bed bug infestations, it is clear travelers are canceling their reservations to New York City. This means hotel guest rooms will sit empty with their millions and millions and millions of bed bugs.

In Miami bed bugs have taken over luxury hotels. Chicago is the next city where tourists are cancelling hotel reservations as Chicago is number five in the nation for bed bug infestations. Left-wing Al Gore followers in San Francisco refuse to accept the city's out-of-control bed bug infestations in hotel guest rooms.  Every day tourists and business travelers awaken with hundreds of bed bug bites.

Following the unnecessary ban of DDT by loner government worker Rachel Carson, billions of innocent women, nursing mothers with babies, and children have died in Africa by mosquitoes carrying Malaria. Millions of innocent people died yearly in Africa from disease carrying mosquitoes.

A form of DDT is need to completely kill bed bug infestations before the multiplying bed bugs in every city in the United States kill the travel industry.

The two stores of tradition in New York City have bedbugs: Bloomingdale's and Macy's. Unfortunately, bedbugs are becoming the latest unproductive business infestation. Will shoppers continue to purchase items from either of these stores? Do shoppers want to "pick-up" bedbugs at Bloomingdale's and bring the bedbugs back to their homes?

The thought of having bedbugs in one's home does not bring comfort.

A political strategist is needed: A form of DDT is needed immediately!

Ignoring the infestation of bedbugs that is taking place in every city in the United States is not the answer. Bloomingdale's cannot sell clothing where bedbugs have been found: Macy's cannot sell mattresses or furniture with bedbugs.

The average American cannot check into a hotel today without worrying about a bedbug infestation in the room. The big hotel chains including Hyatt, Hilton, Marriott, and Sheraton have bedbugs in their properties. Smaller hotels and motels cover-up bedbug infestations because of the drab economy.

American travelers and American shoppers are the "losers" with the bedbug infestation. The travel industry attempts to paint a "rosy" picture, but the bedbug infestation is not a pretty picture.

American travelers and American shoppers "get-it." The only pesticide product that kills bedbugs is DDT. Al Gore's mentor radical environmentalist Rachel Carson single-handedly banned DDT

worldwide. Following this ban billions of people have died in Africa due to Malaria which is carried by mosquitoes. The lack of DDT or a form of DDT kills millions of innocent babies and children in Africa each year.

The late Rachel Carson can be thanked for Africa's dead due to disease from Malaria.

The explosion of bedbugs today is not getting any better. Bedbug infestations are growing. Bedbugs are crawling from apartment to apartment, from department store to department store, from hotel room to hotel room, from theater seat to theater seat. Bedbug infestations are beginning to kill-the-economy which is already slowed down.

Immediate ACTION is needed to stop bedbug infestations. Who wants bedbugs biting hundreds of times at night in their home, their hotel room, their cruise ship cabin, or their airline seat?

Presently bed bugs are everywhere; they are in the best hotels; they are living in the best residential buildings; bed bugs are in the best homes in the best neighborhoods where wealthy people dwell; they are lurking in the best clothing shops; bed bugs are waiting in the best theatre seats; bed bugs are in nursing homes; and bed bugs have infested the best cities in the country.  Chicago is city number five for bed bug infestations.  Washington , D.C. is city number eight as bed bugs have taken up residency in every nook and corner there. Who is to blame?  Rachel Carson single handedly banned DDT in the early ‘60’s.  As a government bureaucrat worker, her book “Silent Spring” went overboard on the dangers of DDT.

 

Did Rachel Carson hate Africa?  Ethiopia’s life expectancy is forty-eight years.  Over one-million people die a year in Africa due to the lack of DDT or a form of DDT.  Children living in poverty in poor countries can thank the late Ms. Carson for their miserable lives for

Malaria can no longer be eradicated. Eco-friendly sustainability environmentalist lifestyles are the issue as environmentalist followers refuse to accept the fact that Rachel Carson’s theories are out-of-date. 

 

Bed bugs (their multiple bites send the healthiest person to the hospital) along with Malaria and hundreds of other diseases have taken hold as the late Rachel Carson’s misguided thinking hurts America .

 

DDT or a form of DDT is needed since bed bugs will enter one’s home after buying garments in a shopping mall or be carried home in clothing after sitting at the symphony or enjoying a movie.  The travel industry includes Wall Street corporate executives who must check into hotels nightly.  Another large industry affected is the cruise industry … for ships are reporting bed bugs in their cabins.

 

The “Malaria Death Clock” ticks second by second; The “Bed Bug Infestation Clock” grows larger and larger by the second.  The two can be directly connected as Rachel Carson is the ghost whose ugly spirit walks nightly across the world.

Can you survive your next hotel visit -- what with yellowish dog urine stains sprayed on the corners of bedspreads, cloth chairs, and draperies; black tar flecks of dog fecal matter scattered around the rugs and underneath the bed; and dog-borne fleas and ticks in the mattresses and pillows? And that’s just the beginning…. Bed bugs?

While it is easy to blame travelers from foreign countries, there is another growing out-of-control population taking over the United States: Pet-dogs. The Humane Society of the United States proudly places the number of dogs in households at 77.5 million. That is 28 Billion pounds of black fecal matter a year. 28 Billion pounds of feces attracts bugs!

Today, even a high-end luxury hotel cannot pass the “white-glove test.” High-end luxury apartment buildings that "tout" rentals at exorbitant prices have bed bugs. Trendy stores that cater to teens text messaging welcome dogs. Bed bugs are carried onto clothes by the slobbering canines.

Over the past few years hotels including Fairmont, Hyatt, Sheraton, Hilton, Marriott, and every low-end motel cater to pet-dogs. "Paws" dog mats are everywhere. Now bed bugs are everywhere. After all, 77.5 million dogs accompany their owners to hotels. Clean bed linens, which are always a hotel guest’s top priority, are now chewed up, yellowed by dog urine sprays, and filthy with nasty blackened -- ostensibly “washed” -- dog fecal leftover matter.

Every hotel room has a bedspread. And today almost every hotel’s bedspread inventory is filled with dark-pattern colors to hide the fluids from dog bodies which accompanied previous guests. Does this make you shudder? Are you grossed out? Yes. And does the hotel manager care? No. Interestingly, the Eighty-Five-Billion-Dollars-a-Year Pet Industry has come up with a bogus study stating dogs "sniff" out bed bugs! Of course they do since bed bugs are mingling with the dogs' fleas.

Bloomingdale's sales associates actually go out onto the street in New York City and encourage dog owners to parade their dogs through the store brushing up against all the store's expensive clothing.

Saks Fifth Avenue and Neiman Marcus are right behind: welcoming pet-dogs into their stores. Regardless if a shop sells luxury deluxe items or moderate clothing, it is not immunized to bed bugs. Shopping malls including Los Angles' Century City Shopping Mall owned by Westfield, Irvine Company's Fashion Island Mall Newport Beach, Old Orchard Shopping Center located in a Chicago suburb, and countless other shopping malls welcome pet-dogs.

The blame does not stop with 28 Billion pounds of dog feces yearly polluting shopping malls, streets, and beaches. Al Gore's love of environmental movement creator Rachel Carson's 1962 "Silent Spring" book has created a quasi-religion that has adversely affected millions and millions of people worldwide. Today's environmental worshipers are setting the United States back into darkness where light bulbs are 40 watts and bed bugs crawl on a human's skin while their dogs lay in the bed with them.

Public awareness programs must include banning pet-dogs from hotels, shopping malls, department stores, hospitals, and airline seats or bed bugs will be next.

The "Progressive Liberals" in Sacramento's legislature are exhausting. The new idea: Ban plastic bags statewide. The potential fallout does not affect the legislatures, as they do not shop at grocery stores

Creating a new Law to Ban plastic bags is nightmarish. Banning plastic bags hurts the poor, working families and the elderly.

What's next? Plastic utensils. Maybe the citizens of California should "Ban" elected officials from slapping down ideas that hurt "all" Californians.

Earsplitting Blasting Music Throughout Every Major Department Store Nationwide Must STOP. By Carole Wade                                                      Major department store executives are pumping earsplitting "thumping" "throbbing" "blasting" music into multiple ceiling speakers throughout their stores. The loud music gets louder and worse in all of the stores. Do complaints work? Will boycotting the stores work? http://online.wsj.com/article/SB125367349893632975.html First, the 18 to 23 year old shoppers major department are pandering after have no loyalty to the stores -- with its blasting music -- as they are en route to cheaper stores in malls. This age group has lost their hearing because of their bad habits. Second, today's shoppers (with money) are older members of the $ 78 Trillion-Dollar-A-Year spending generation. They are part of the 70% age group with “all-of-the-wealth.” “Boomer-Women” and “Boomer-Men” have “normal” hearing.  Department stores off-site contractors music volume controllers despise “Baby-Boomers.” Major department stores ignore older shoppers with "normal" hearing. Shoppers must demand department stores: Lower the volume of the music in all of their stores across the United States. Department store managers and executives must “pay attention” to older age groups. If not -- they might lose all of their longtime paying customers and their store will go out of business.  Please “catch-on” to what I’m saying.

 

 

AARP's Healthcare Blues and Its Never Ending Lies

By Carole Wade

The Wall Street Journal's August 21st, 2009 article "AARP Takes Heat Over Health Stand" explains why AARP members are quitting the organization.  Maybe it is because of David Certner's interview on the Bill O'Reilly show on August 11th.
http://blogs.wsj.com/health/2009/08/21/health-reform-aarp-astroturf-and-the-co-op-public-plan/

Certner comes across again and again as a smug, snarling, smirking liar -- a disgrace to the past professionalism of the AARP's full-time paid staffers.  Replacing its new staffers would be a good beginning to getting AARP back to its roots of representing "older" people.

David Certner's and David Sloane's nonsense about forty million plus Americans who currently lack health insurance coverage needs to be refuted.  Millions of young men choose to engage in "extreme sports" like snowboarding outside the boundaries of ski slopes, skateboarding in traffic and everywhere else, surfing alongside breakwaters where the waves are larger, motorcycling without helmets, and on and on.

Millions upon millions of young women drive giant SUV trucks while texting and screaming on their cell-phones.  They are seen constantly notwithstanding the legal prohibitions here in California and elsewhere too.

Tradespeople in their forties and fifties tell us -- now that President Obama is pushing his health care program so aggressively -- that they have cancelled their employer-provided coverage because the eighty dollar monthly co-insurance or co-pay charges are interfering with their purchases of Global Positioning devices for their pick-up trucks.  They sacrifice their health insurance for GPS instead of reading road maps!

Why should the AARP's current group of health care policy staffers bankrupt its elderly members to cover these many millions of individuals uninsured by their own choice?

Baby Boomers Turning Age Sixty-Five. The Elimination of the Social Security Number (SSN) for Identification is Vital to You.

With the increased risk of identity theft, the pending publication of the Social Security's Interim Final Rule is important to everyone who is forced to release their Social Security Number to health providers, medical offices, hospitals, drug stores, and all agencies who require the number.

Social Security Numbers are the "number one" source criminals attempt to hack in computers when looking for ways to break into a victim's identity. When an office worker screams, "What's your social?" Don't reveal your number. Furthermore, don't permit our United States Government to continue to force using Social Security Numbers for Medicare benefits.

The United States Government's rule revises the FTR to eliminate the collection of the Social Security Numbers (SSN) for identification purposes. The rule carries out the purposes of the Privacy Act of 1974. Title 5 in the United States Code, Section 552A ensures that the U.S. Authorized agent's personal information, such as its SSN, is protected. Contact the Foreign Trade Division -- (800) 549-0595 and demand Social Security Numbers for identification be eliminated permanently.
