This Little Piggy Went To Walmart
Tags: hog, pig
There are only 2 acceptable reasons to have your pig in Walmart. (1) You have somehow obtained a trained seeing-eyed pig (if so, good for you) and (2) to let the pig run around loose as you chase it with a knife dressed as a butcher to mess with all the other customers

Pets are not suppose to be allowed in grocery stores. I see people in Walmart with little dogs too. As a parent of a child that has allergies I find it strange that managers do not give these people with pets the BOOT!

@Karen — Pigs most certainly CAN carry the H1N1 virus. There’s a herd in Japan infected right now. And if you check the answers-DOT-flu-DOT-gov website (TPoW apparently won’t post comments that contain a direct link) you’ll find that the U.S. gov’t states quite clearly that pigs can be infected.

Animals of any kind (except service dogs) are banned from any food store in all states under the state health laws. There is a good reason. Although I think this lady is outside of the store sitting on a bench, the pig should not be on any part of the premises. What in hell is wrong with WalMart? Have they become so greedy they will overlook local laws, including those of public obscenity?

My younger daughter had a Vietnamese pot-bellied pig and it made a very good pet. As has been said, pigs are not filthy unless allowed to be. The problem with pigs such as this one is that some of them grow to about 175 pounds. When they get on the furniture, as they will if allowed in the house, they will break it down. My daughter and her husband took their pig to a “pig sanctuary” in San Antonio where it roots and grunts its days away in porcine bliss.

IF this was a seeing it would be on the ground. You dont CARRY your service animals. In fact when they are working that is all they are to do..work. They have set play times so the animals don’t get confused. My friend trains seeing eye dogs. Also they have a special handle on a special harness. This animal has neither. It also looks to be a young pig (if the size is any indication) so if it was a animal in training it MUST have a green training vest on and once again you do not carry your service animal. She is also looking towards the camera and half smiling. I see plenty of people with those sun glasses walking around. Not blind. Its cute, pigs are smart, they are clean but NO animal belongs in a store. We have laws for a reason.
(my reply)
Actually, any animal can be a service animal, but if it isn’t wearing an identifying vest, tag, scarf, or other means of identification, you’d better be prepared to be questioned about the validity of your claim. People who HAVE service animals, know what to be expect to be asked, and know what the answers are. They are also smart enough to come prepared and and have appropriate gear. Emotional Support Animals are different and don’t have the same rights as Service Animals. They are allowed to be kept in “no pet” apartments with a psychiatrist’s recommendation. They are NOT allowed to accompany a person in public. If this pig is a Service Animal, it needs to be vested so people don’t mistake it as a pet. If it is an ESA, it needs to have stayed home.

Except for honest-to-Christ service animals (and I’m not counting the ones where a fat person trains a monkey to pick stuff up off the floor that they can’t reach) animals have NO PLACE in a business, especially ones that sell food.
Leave your dog, iguana snake or kitty at home.

A trained service animal is NO USE to her in her arms, leaving two possibilities:
1) it’s really just a pet
2) it’s a trained service animal that she doesn’t really need, and she BS’d her way to the designation.

“Wal-Mart actually has a sign on the front door that states only registered assistance animals are allowed within the building. However, associates are not allowed to tell people that bring animals in to leave, because it might upset the customer. I used to work there, and I’ve tried kicking these people out, but instead got reprimanded by my manager!”
Walmart got a HUGE slap from the DOJ for violating the rights of people with service animals. Just to be clear, there is no true “registration or certification” for any service animals. Walmart greeters are allowed to ask “Is that a service animal for a disability?” Any further problems beyond that have to be handled by a manager. See : http://www.ada.gov/walmart.htm to read the WHOLE story.

To JP-
Way to think you know everything about service animals and blind people.
Someone who’s legally blind might still be able to see a camera, it depends on the condition and type of blindness. I have visual field problems and am legally blind and I can see things people think I shouldn’t be able to.
A service animal in training doesn’t have to wear a vest (no service animal does!), and certainly not of any specific color. Some training schools might require that, but by law it’s not required.
I’m not saying that pig is a service animal, but you have no idea what you’re talking about.

At Walmart Stores/Sam’s Club there is a policy that only a door greeter or the store manager may ask if the animal is a service animal, if the customer or member says it is there is nothing the store can do. this is probably one of those cases, also it doesnt have to be an animal for the blind or deaf, this animal may help in stressful situtions with its owner as an anxiety animal or be there to help if its owner has a seisure

I’m embarassed to admit this, but I know this woman. I used to live a few blocks from her in Spokane so would see her on the bus quite often. And yes, she actually is legally blind.
