Victorian woman Kathryn Beaton says repeated, illegal denials of service from drivers refusing to allow her guide dog into their vehicles have left her effectively housebound.
Edited to add: “anxious and in tears” is some shit tier headline writing when the real problem is the loss of independence and freedom, and the hours she has had to spend waiting just to be actively discriminated against.
same way stores can deny service to individuals.
That really depends on the reasons. Denying service for a discriminatory reason (like a disability) will generally breach discrimination laws.
It sounds like they don’t have a problem with the disability, but with the tool she chooses to use to circumvent the disability.
Nobody pays any mind to air quality and it’s made my life a whole lot more difficult than it needs to be.
Anyway, i feel for her, but i think the service animal stuff is way over simplified and people forget that other people with disabilities also pay a cost.
This is true. Those that do not actually require a service animal for actual valid reasons like this trash it for those who do.
