Taxi Drivers - AGAIN

This is the link ABC NEWS to a news story regarding a Taxi Company in Adelaide who refused entry to a taxi due to a guide dog.

Yet again this amazes me as I was under the impression that Guide Dogs have the legal right to go virtually anywhere apart from a Kitchen. The Taxi company even offered him $27000 to withdraw the complaint and go away.

This is discrimination and really should be stamped out.

Rejection of Guide Dogs by Taxi Drivers

I just found a report i tend to find rather offensive in some ways. It suggests that Muslim Taxi Drivers will refuse entry to a Taxi for a Disabled or Vision Impaired person when they have a Guide Dog or Assistance Dog.

I find this to be extremely short sighted by these taxi drivers as their religious belief states that animals are Unclean. Every single Guide Dog i have ever met has been the most clean and well looked after animals around.

What amazes me is that these people certainly wouldn't stop and think twice about refusing a guide dog for their own needs if it ever arose but they will not allow a dog into the car???
