Yeah, I don't think that's crazy for proper service animals, they're very well trained.

It's not about training. People lie, and there is no way to verify service animals. Lying about pets and claiming they are service animals is already an issue for places like restaurants and hotels.

if Uber requires all drivers to allow pets, then so be it. But that's the only way to ensure consistency.
