[nagdu] PETA Presentation at Convention

[Linda Gwizdak]

Hi Peter,
Oh yeah, the ELF group.  A couple of years ago, they blew up a building 
under construction here in San Diego and soon after that blew up another 
building somewhere else. These types are domestic terrorists!

>> Hello Marion and listers,
>>
>>    Last year NAGDU did something that got lots of attention among NFB
>> members around the country. One of the presenters at the annual NAGDU
>> Seminar was a Muslem Clarric to address issues concerning guide dog use
>> and
>> the Islamic Faith. Given the problems guide dog users have encountered

>> PETA members and their uninformed views of guide dogs and their use would
>> it
>> not be appropriate to extend an invitation to them to speak during this
>> years NAGDU seminar to hopefully urge them to change these views and to
>> work
>> with us to put an end to the harassment experienced by some guide dog
>> users
>> when encountering PETA Members? This is a long-shot I know but like
>> Muslems
>> shouldn't PETA be given a chance to come clean with us and hopefully be
>> better informed about the role of guide dogs in our lives? I recall that
>> an
>> animal rights person was once at a NAGDU meeting long ago. She was 
>> deasent
>> to our members and I don't recall any attempts by her or the group she
>> represented to harass guide dog users atending that national convention.
>> Anyway this was a thought and an idea.
