Letter: Utah should have better rules about service animals

Related Topics: Animal, Service animal

My adult son is blind, physically disabled and requires a wheelchair. I completely support the use of service and legitimate support animals.

My husband and I are also landlords — a small mom-and-pop business with a duplex and three single-family homes. We are members of the Good Landlord Program for our city. I can tell you from experience that the justification process for such animals is not sufficient.It would be a giant improvement to pass some legislation requiring an applicant to provide documentation of disability from a local physician and to educate physicians on what they are actually signing.
