It is interesting that the NFB passed a resolution in opposition to guide
horses. Actually, the resolution refers to inappropriate guide animals, but it
is
clear that they had horses in mind. I realize that dogs have some advantages
over horses, but the horses have some advantages over dogs too, so I haven't
figured out what is supposed to be so inappropriate about them.

If you want to get a look at panda and also read about her training, her
trainer created the following website with Panda reports.
I know for me at this moment in my life a guide horse would not be
practical, even though the longevity is a great thing. My job requires a
compact little guide, and a lot of traveling in a small car, irregular
schedules and strange environments in different houses.
I will probably be staying with my dog.

The people who burned witches at the stake never for one moment thought of
their act as violence;
rather they thought of it as an act of divinely mandated righteousness.
The same can be said of most of the violence we humans have ever
committed. -Gil Bailie, author and lecturer (b. 1944)
