We need to all be respectful of each others needs. If someone can't be around dogs, leave if you see one. I don't sit in the smoking section of a restaurant, casino, etc. If I don't leave or move, I have no right to ask a smoker to stop smoking in a smoking section. |
That was just what I was going to say. I understand the problem of dog allergies and asthma, but it is important for many people with disabilities to have their service animals with them. People with disabilities understand better than anyone else what its like to have a disability. Its better to compromise and work together than try to judge who is more disabled than the other.
