[nagdu] Churches

[Cindy Ray]

What do you mean "look up places?" This is a specific place I want to go; and if I were doing the third year of spiritual direction training, I would have to go there five times, so it would be a good thing for me to know now if I can bring the dog. I was surprised I thought to ask. LOL.

>> You don't want to have a "laundry list" of exempt places. There was a time in Kansas that zoos wanted to be exempt because of the possibility of dogs spreading disease and causing anxiety for the animals. We held that they should not be exempt because their reasoning was faulty, but we also said that to start such a list would suggest to more and more folks that they should be on it.

I think it's truly sad that some churches have issues with guide dogs, but I absolutely oppose the idea of making laws that would take away that freedom.
