[nagdu] The membership has spoken, and I am disappointed

[Michael Hingson]

Hi,

Actually, why is it different with ownership than without? The Seeing Eye
has granted ownership since its beginning. As TSE and the other four schools
that grant ownership know the dogs are protected under law and the dogs are
in  no more danger if ownership is granted.

On the other hand, schools have taken dogs away from handlers without any
kind of due process. Who protects the consumers? This is an issue as old as
time. Who has the rights, the dogs or the consumers. I stand with the
consumers. Yes dogs need to be protected. If schools accept students who do
not treat their guides well then who is at fault? The schools, of course.
They did not do as good a job of screening as they should have done.

No, ownership should be granted and the schools should have enough faith in
their graduates and in their own processes that they give the ownership that
they should provide. 


Regards,


Michael Hingson

Tina, I also thought the vote was no but I thought that might have been
where I was sitting.  I voted no because my concern is for the well being of
the dog.  Who speaks up for and protects them?
