The comments from tenants at Bellamont Gardens prove they have absolutely no clue as to why guide / therapy dogs are so valuable. They also have absolutely no clue as to the care needed for a therapy / guide dog.
They are so utterly ignorant that they would obviously disallow for instance a blind person living in a flat with no garden - because it is so cruel for the dog... If the guide dog association believed it was cruel for dogs to be trained as therapy dogs why are they doing this? Why are therapy dogs allowed in hospitals? Why? because these trained dogs enjoy their "duty" as much as their patients / guardians do.
I personally think Bellamont Gardens need to be educated in terms of therapy animals as well as animal cruelty and could do with a visit to the SPCA and Guide Dog Association- more than that they should read educational literature rather than sensational junk that has no educational value before commenting on something they clearly have no expertise to do so.
