Aggieland zoo and safari9/18/2023 Even if a dog or mini-horse is verified as a legally defined Service Animal and allowed to enter the Safari, please note that the guest is responsible for controlling their dog or mini-horse at all times. A Service Animal has been specially trained to provide a specific type of assistance to a disabled person, which addresses a specific disability.Ĭontrolling the Service Animal and its Behavior. Examples of common tasks and work performed by legitimate Service Animals include guiding the blind, directing to the deaf, pulling wheelchairs, alerting or protecting a person who is suffering a seizure, reminding a person with mental illness to take medication, or calming a person with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder during an anxiety attack. For example, an “emotional comfort” or “therapy” dog, or a “security” dog, or a desire to use a mini-horse for a child to ride on, does not constitute a legally defined Service Animal. A Service Animal is defined by law and not by a person’s definition of desire. When an alleged Service Animal is brought to the Safari, the owner will be asked to verify the legitimacy of the animal. We will be compelled to eject the animal and its owner (without refund) if anyone attempts to bring a dog or mini-horse into the Safari, where it is not a true, trained, and legal-defined Service Animal. Even if a dog or mini-horse is a true Service Animal, the animal may not be brought into the Safari if there is no disabled person who needs the assistance of that animal. State law provides penalties for people who misrepresent having a bona fide Service Animal. Please be forewarned: Do not attempt to bring a dog or mini horse into the Safari as a “Service Animal” if it does not meet the legal definition. A “service animal” vest does not make a dog or mini-horse a Service Animal, as such is legally defined. The only type of animal we can allow into the Safari is a bona fide Service Animal (as such is defined by Law), which is either a dog or a miniature horse, and which has been specially trained to present to assist a disabled guest with a specific task which assists the guest with their disability. However, due to safety concerns, we may have certain limitations. While we cannot allow pets, we are happy to welcome guests with disabilities who wish to be accompanied by their Service Animals while visiting our Wild Animal Safari. Only Bona Fide Service Animals for Disabled Guests. (We also require that guests not leave pets in their vehicles in such an event, the Safari may contact animal control to rescue a pet left in a vehicle). And while we may be Wild Animal Safari, we cannot allow outside pets into our Safari. We love animals and are passionate about animal care. No Pets – only Service Animals (as such is defined by the Americans with Disabilities Act and other applicable law)
