[nagdu] The NFB got vote correct on ownership.

[Howard J. Levine]

Please understand I don't what government or state paying for our guide dogs, in the united state there are more then one schools and we have choices where we go for a guide dog. What I was saying if want more control then be an owner trained guide dog, if you want can aford to pay some one to train a dog for you then you can and no one cantell you what you can do as long you don't brak any local or state laws. When you go to school and some one else is paying for guide dogs then you give up some fredom that is just way it is in life.

BS'D

Howard,

How would state (tax) funded guide dogs makes it more realistic with ownerships of the dogs for the handlers? (It's how I read your comment about statefunded vs. charity funded guide dogs anyway.)

In Sweden, our guide dogs are financed by the government (taxes) and we've no ownerships; we've a disposal right to our dogs; and personally, I think it sucks.
