Whenever society attempts to accommodate its disadvantaged and infirmed, there are elements in that society that try to take advantage of these accommodations. We have too often seen these cheaters among us ... handicapped parkers who aren't really handicapped ... pets that are passed off as "service animals." Now Colorado is fighting back. It is considering making the faking of service animals a crime ... see: Denver Post Story. Yes, abusing handicapped parking is theoretically punished, but every day we see such cheaters that are ignored (see the above picture). And just imagine the authorities in Colorado trying to tell a dowager that her little "Muffie" doesn't qualify as a service animal.
