NBR - local news report. Discrimination?

I'm curious to know what you all think of this form of discrimination. Being incredibly educated in this area (from both the animal and medical standpoint) I am pretty bias. What do you ladies think?

    It was absolutely discrimination under the law.  A pet is a companion animal that a person chooses to have as a part of the family.  A service animal is a necessity for a person to live a relatively normal life.  I'm glad she fought it and won!  What would these people have done if it had been a seeing eye dog?  Would their reaction have been different?

    I'm sure it would have been. To me saying that a disabled girl can not have her service dog, who clearly does mitigate her disability, in her apartment with her - would be the equivalent to telling someone that they could not bring their wheel chair into the apartment.

    I practice law in a similar area - the ADA in the employment context - and I'm glad she prevailed on this.

    Definitely discrimination. It's a service dog, not just a pet.

    I get where the apt manager was coming from, unfortunately there are a lot of people who do lie and manipulate to break the rules. However, if he was provided proof in anyway, he should have made the exception so that he was compliant with the law.
