[nagdu] Fw: Breaking News About DOJ Changes

[MS S TILLETT]

I totally agree.  It is too bad that when the government gets a hold of a problem they always have to treat it in the extreme, which of course is a wya for a quick fix.  Wouldn't it be nice if they would solicit help from several disabled folks to figure out how to change the law and still make it fair?  I think we need to figure out how we can all help with this one.  
It isn't fair to Ann, and everyone else who uses animals other than dog responsibly.

  Ann, please keep us posted on this, particularly if there comes a point when 
  the DOJ accepts comments. I have two cats providing medical alert. They 
  currently work only at home, but this kind of regulation would affect 
  housing issues. I am also aware of other instances in which cats are 
  providing medical alert services for seizures, respiratory distress, and 
  diabetic issues. I understand the need to provide some restrictions; but I 
  think this is an area where blind people need to be sensitive to people with 
  other disabilities and provide some reasonable cover.
