[nagdu] Service Dog Forced To Ride In Taxi Trunk

[Lyn Gwizdak]

Good!!!

Somebody posted about how we shouldn't dump on the woman who put her dog in 
the trunk - called it like blaming the victim of rape or other abuse.

I don't think this is the same.  Although people can make mistakes and maybe 
not react in the best way, I think we do have to think about how our actions 
will impact future actions by the public.  If we don't stand our ground then 
people will think it's ok to push us aroound.  Putting a dog into a closed 
trunk is NEVER ok to do and it endangers the dog, period.

I'm sure the woman in question will never do this again and the cab driver 
has been fired so he may never pull that stunt again, either.

Although, we don't want to blame the victims of crime, we still do have to 
take the responsibility of our own safety as well as we can.  We have to be 
supportive of each other making good choices and be there for folks when 
stuff goes sideways.
