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.
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
Seriously - You ought to put a leash on your rabid pet dog Gatlin.

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.
