I think 'therapy' animals, , gerbil, snake, tarantula, rat, etc., should be trained and certified the same as any service dog. Yes I have seen these animals being claimed as being needed for 'therapy'. They are a health hazard and completely unsanitary. I have reported to the health department and to the stores managers, but they say that they can't do anything. I don't want someones animal peeing or pooping in my food.
