My response is that you are wasting your time. You can not change a
zealot's thinking. It is like trying to talk a paranoid out of their
delusion. All this chatter feeds their egos and prolongs the debate. Save
your breath.

Sherri,
don't hold your breath on PETA members "changing their minds". They are
not interested in the fact; they only confuse them! (smile)

>> Ms. Nachminovitch,

>> Your comments on the Los Angeles Times blog L.A. Unleashed is full of

>> I have not only been a puppyraiser I am also a guide dog user. My first
>> guide is 12 years old, and he will be with me until he expires. He lives

>> these individuals do not need to be bashed when they are giving up a
>> guide that they have loved for many years.

>> I invite you to visit guide dog users and guide dog schools from across
>> this nation. We will meet in Detroit in July. Please go to www.nfb.org
>> and find details regarding our national convention. You will learn so
>> much about guide dog schools, the dogs, and the users. Most of all, you

>> mobility tools they choose.

>> Sincerely,
>> Merry Schoch
