KENNEWICK, WA (KEPR/CNN) - The parrot, named Kai, is not just a pet. She’s Mitchell Slaugh’s emotional service animal. “She’s my baby. She’s my companion,” Slaugh said. “I need her and she needs me.” Slaugh is registered to have Kai o his shoulder as his support system. As Slaugh said, “We’re tied together.” So it was like any other day for the Slaugh family when they walked into a Winco store to get groceries on Saturday. That was until the store told him his parrot had to go. “I just went in there to grab a couple items for dinner, and I had grabbed three of the five items I needed, and one of the store clerks said I couldn’t have a pet in the store,” he said. When he explained to store management that Kai was a registered service animal, he realized there is a loophole in the law. Service animals in Washington state are only described as dogs or small horses, making it legal for the store to kick Slaugh and his parrot out. “I have owned parrots for about seven years now and I have never been kicked out of anywhere for having a parrot with me,” he said. Mitchell Slaugh has owned Kai for a year now, and his wife, Mary, already can see a change. “Having abnormal thing on his shoulder makes him a normal person,” she said. KEPR spoke to the store's manager, who acknowledged that the incident happened and referred the station to the store’s corporate office. The station reached out to the corporate office but has not heard back. Mitchell Slaugh said he probably won’t be going back into Winco, and he hope more people understand the feathers on his shoulder. “The bond i have with her is very similar to that of a toddler,” he said.

He should absolutely return to this store with several small horses. A government strong enough to impose your standards is strong enough to ban them. My guess is this mentally weak dirtbag looking libtard is probably a Ron Paul cult member. If he needs a bird on his shoulder to get through life's drama... then suck on the business end of a .45 acp... Help Mother Nature with natural selection
I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح
Bond similar to GI's with Trump. Grocery store has rules and can be closed down because this guy acts like a child.
For a long time, I hae contended this: Service Animal Scams: A Growing Problem. The only exception I would make is to get Buck a talking mynah bird. The bird would make more intelligent conversations and would not need booze and pot as a primer.
Your guess ain't worth shit. A government strong enough to impose your standards is strong enough to ban them. If sucky bow-Bucky had his choice for a service animal, it would be a sheep. The bumper sticker on his rusted jalopy is... "So many sheep such little time". I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح
Shut your Paultard pie hole. lol

Link to the post in which I support Paul, or stand self-exposed as a liar and moron. lol A government strong enough to impose your standards is strong enough to ban them. I'm not so sure I would want a bird in my store, if I had a store, which I don't, but if I did , I don't think I'd want a bird in it, but then again it would depend on the store and the type of carpets, but if my store, which I don't have didn't have carpets, well then, no I still don't think I want a parrot in it, but then again I wouldn't have a store without carpets, to hard o the feet, but since I don't have a store and have no plans to get a store, I guess what I guess really doesn't matter. Anyone know how to cook a parrot? Are they like geese? Do they have to be pare boiled? Cause I might have parrots if they can be eaten. Does this make any sense to anyone? I lost me somewhere around the second or third, I forget which, I don't have a store. mainetv.net/nbc.htm

That figures because it describes your posting style. How?
Next time take a Texas Long Horn steer, assuming you could fit him through the glass doorway. Grocery stores have sanitation of food to safeguard. I could definitely see the concern about a parrot. Birds tend to poo at random times, and shed feathers as well.
Your propensity to associate any and all distasteful things to Ron Paul shows you have a bit of a psychosis.
Some people are delighted seeing a magnificent parrot, others want to kill it. Some are afraid of germs, cats, dogs and shake hand through a napkin etc ...
Did he just classify you as having a psychosis? I am pretty sure that he did. Is he practicing clinical psychology … classifying someone else for a behavioral disorder or condition? I am pretty sure he is. Doesn’t someone who engages in such activity and who does not have a license to practice as a clinical psychologist commit a crime? I am pretty sure they do. But I guess that is okay with Paultards, since when have they ever cared for laws or rules. Speaking about rules, it was just the other day, in fact it was on April 14th, that Ron Paul told fox news “rules are made to be broken.” Yep, that’s what he said … it is a direct quote. So, it appears that old Ron is still giving his Paultards free license to do anything they desire. Back to the classifying point: I hereby classify all Paultards as assholes, and I know that I do not need a license to do that. Do you think I have “one of them” psychosis too? Paultards would say yes. But then who ever listens to the Paultards. It is strongly evidenced that no one does. They just keep yapping, yapping and yapping … while others ridicule and make fun of them.

Pinguinite is a Trump supporter. Just like you. You will both be known as Trumptards eventually. Me too.
Of what use is a parrot as a service animal?
Obama has played at being a president while enjoying the perks … golf, insanely expensive vacations at tax-payer expense. He has ignored the responsibilities of the job; no plans, no budgets, no alternatives … just finger pointing; making him a complete failure as a president
Good God Almighty a bunch of control freaks? Guy's got a bird on his shoulder. BFD. Getting the vapors over it is ridiculous.
An annoyed or frightened parrot may inflict a very serious bite. If the parrot bites another customer, the store could be subjected to a serious lawsuit.

I am pleased to learn this and it is nice to be traveling together down the same path towards making America great again. On a sour note however, I hold little hope for the mental survival of Hondo, Deckard and Buckeroo after Trump takes office. I trust they will be well provided for at the Salem State Hospital under the care of Nurse Ratched, assuming she is still there. After all, she is of their same nature and since it is drug use they promote, her administering antipsychotic and anticonvulsant drugs may give them new found peace. And peace … peace of mind is one thing that bunch of misfits really needs.
They can move into the same nursing home with Ron. They can talk about the good old days when they were going to win the presidency with 5% of the vote. They can then retire to a nice game of World of Warcraft right before they take their medication. Life will be sweet for them.

They can then retire to a nice game of World of Warcraft right before they take their medication. Life will be sweet for them. That's good. Have you ever seen a photo shopped picture of Ron in a straight jacket? He looks so happy and content ... finally. I once posted a picture of Bucky wrestling to get out of a straight jacket and it really pissed him off. That was no surprise, since everything I do pisses Bucky off ... snicker. I must confess that I do enjoy pissing him off. He is so easy that I have now developed the process into a science. Did you catch his latest temper tantrum? It was classic Buck.
He can't leave his "support bird" in the car for the few minutes that would take? If he's that insecure he needs counseling.
What about a service dog assisting a blind person?
Sissified America. We have to go nuts over a bird, because someone might get hurt and we could get sued. Somebody should pass a law! Then we can be safe.
Your Trump Service Doll awaits, at Toys R US http://www.gettyimages.com/detail/news-photo/the-new-donald-trump-12-inch-talking-doll-september-29-2004-news-photo/51372328 Post your private mailing address to Stone on PM and I will send him one to forward to you. You can replace that old tired and worn Hillary doll that you take to bed with you ever night. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN ... VOTE TRUMP!

Certainly, there are things I don't like about Trump that you do like, namely his lack of empathy about civil rights. Certainly being a billionaire about his whole life meant never really having to put up with people more powerful than he is, and the injustices that come with it. On the plus side, Trump should be very good at cleaning up the monetary mess created by many years of waste and excess, slashing foreign "aid" which is not aid at all but instead basically political bribe money, and root out cronyism that has become the rule in DC (I imagine you would be less enthused about any corrupt people drawing a gov paycheck being exposed). But there is no certainty what Trump will do, or if he'll be any different from any pres of the last 30 years. The only thing one can say with certainty is that unlike Hillary and probably most every other R candidate he beat, that Trump doesn't owe any special interests anything. So he might actually have an authentic interest in "making America great again", and be willing to use logic and common sense as president instead of just parroting what paying headmasters tell him to.
Doesn't matter to me who wins. The agenda will remain the same whether Hillary or Trump is President. Make sure you cast your vote, slave. Seriously - You ought to put a leash on your rabid pet dog Gatlin. That is a good summation. So good that I see no reason to parse it and reply to each comment. There are of course a few things that I do not like about Trump, but I minimize those because he is finally, finally, someone who will go to Washington and make a sincere effort to change things … without having to worry about job security, reelection and all those other nuances that career politicians always place ahead of serving the public. I will take time to comment on one thing you mentioned, that being his position on civil rights. I can understand your position from having read many of your posts. I am not using the lead in, “I can understand” as a “debate ploy.” I really do understand your position. Please permit me to share my position with you. As a retired career military officer, I am geared to go in the “get ‘er done” mode. But I would never allow that to override, shortcut, or violate any laws or rules that protect the privacy of Americans. Having said that, I would no doubt approve of writing more liberal (I can’t believe that I just used that word) laws to delve deeper than you in order to go after anyone or anything that threatens America or American lives. Oops … I would like to comment more, but I am a day trader and I need to take some action. I will post more later. In the meantime, I thank you for your courteous and object post.
In the context of an investigation - which telling me "Shut your Paultard pie hole" is not. No. Rand was for open borders and "gay" "marriage" which I oppose, and Ron was a Reagan-basher and too clever by half on the subject of "gay" "marriage" (even opposing the Federal Marriage Amendment). A government strong enough to impose your standards is strong enough to ban them. More lies from FireIsland the shitstain - I never posted here before being booted off FR. A government strong enough to impose your standards is strong enough to ban them. Thank you kindly for your direct answer. You satisfied my curiosity.
I apologize for unintentionally and inadvertently frightening you. For me to understand why the symbolism of a rabid dog frightens you so much, I need to ask you a question. Did you see a rabid dog in your dream? Seriously - That can be quite disconcerting. I know the association of the symbolism with me generates the feeling of great fear, terror and horror in you. Research has shown that the meaning of a rabid dog dream will cause you to feel that your efforts will not be worth the hard work and uphill struggle in the end. One positive way for you to overcome this rabid dog malady is to get up now, go out and buy a Trump doll … then take it to bed with you every night. That way you can “rest” assured that “The Donald” will be there to protect you and keep you safe … even in your weird dreams.
Attaboy, be a defeatist ... just give up. That's not like you ...

He can't leave his "support bird" in the car for the few minutes that would take? If he's that insecure he needs counseling. If he can not leave the house to go to the store with out his bird then he needs to go back to the hospital. This IMHO has nothing to do but get attention and childish behavior. But that seems to be the "thing" now. Just look at Sinead O'Connor.
Or be schooled on how to compose a suicide note because his weakness needs to be cleansed from the human gene pool... we have too many weak libtards now. I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح
All that's missing is the pirate outfit. Pirate with support bird: You've got to have zero self-esteem to admit you need a "support bird" 24/7. Then again, he could be trolling for some store owner to physically evict him so he could sue for thousands of dollars.
