[nagdu] Minature Horse Article

[Tami Kinney]

I've heard some of the same things spoken loudly nearby where I or 
another guide dog user was traversing about our dogs. Flea ridden scurvy 
curs spreading fleas and filth everywhere and going into business for no 
other reason than to mess on the floor so someone will have to pick it 
up... Sigh.

People are gonna think what they're gonna think, and then run off at the 
mouth about it, I guess. If they think they're that special spewing 
their ignorance the way they do, that's their privilege, I guess. So 
long as they don't actively stand in my way to exert their 
self-entitled, er, stuff and expect me to be impressed by it. /lol/ 
Bullies hate for the helpless blind woman to turn out to be untroubled 
by more than her wasted time.

So the point, I suspect, of the article isn't about miniature horses as 
service animals, at all, but a statement of how the entitled are being 
imposed upon unfairly by the undeserving... The inevitability of a 
lawsuit against hardworking businessmen who know The Truth about 
miniature horse guides and the threat they pose was pretty strong, it 
seemed. The point that these businessmen broke the law just because they 
think they should be able to was sorta glossed over. Sigh.

Bah!

Of course that is usually by radical animal rights people who feel dogs shouldn't have to do anything. I thought of this last night, too, when I read the article. I know I have felt that way about the horses before, too, but it seems clear that there are a lot of advantages to using them and that many of the issues can be worked out same as they have been with the dogs.
