Scottish man Jonathan Attenborough was born without sight in his right eye and lost sight in his left eye five years ago due to aggressive glaucoma.
“I was very surprised the first time it happened, somebody approached me and made a claim that I was cruel for having a guide dog,” Mr Attenborough“To start with I thought they were joking. I asked them why and they said they were an animal rights campaigner, and to me it’s completely bemusing, but they said the dogs should have to give their consent to do jobs like this. They had a couple of issues with the welfare of them as well.
“We were sitting at a bar at a local hotel at the weekend and this middle-aged woman approached us,” he said.“She had come up to order drinks at the bar and me and my friend were just sitting there minding our own business. She was actually quite aggressive, claiming that we were cruel for being guide dog owners. these dogs shouldn’t be lying on the floor of a bar, they should be out there playing in the fields — this was at like one o’clock in the morning.
Robert Meikle was matched with his guide dog, a black labrador named Winnie, in July last year. He told the Scottish broadcaster he had been “approached and asked why I think it’s moral for me to have a guide dog”.
franks_chung Fake news. I’m sure animal lovers wouldn’t be against blind people having a dog. This is absolute rubbish.
franks_chung Why give shit activists like this a voice
franks_chung Maybe she should do everyone a favour and go off to the fields and play.....And not come back
franks_chung These ignorant, abusive, deranged activists must be stopped entirely. Maybe they should be blindfolded for a month and see how they go without a guide dog. Authorities must surely act decisively !!!
franks_chung It's official. The lunatics have taken over the asylum.
franks_chung The world, albeit a minority who occupy it, has gone mad.
franks_chung What a bunch of bullies
franks_chung Disgusting
That's disgusting behavior, these dogs love doing this work Labradors in particular are one of the most loyal, loving & intelligent as well as highly regarded dogs for this job, I feel for the blind man, & also happy he has a second chance of seeing through his guide dog
franks_chung Haha....”Playing out in the fields” dogs are a mans best friend not a bovine.....neck up you parrots! This dogs more useful than these animal activists!
franks_chung Given that there are two sides to a story, I'm curious about what the woman has to say. Were there witnesses to what he claims happened?
franks_chung That’s why this animal activists is a terrorist
franks_chung The world has gone mad. We need to stop giving these complete minors any time at all. Just ignore and keep moving
franks_chung That is so wrong
franks_chung No one accused animal rights activists of having any intelligence or knowledge. Children.
franks_chung No words!
franks_chung Come on, when is enough, enough, so absurd
TastyNutsHmm franks_chung Hitler loved animals more than people. This is an example of how they're evil scum, the more you give them power and don't learn from history, it is doomed to be repeated. Hope they never have government control. Show love to your neighbour as yourself.
franks_chung Absolutely disgraceful.
RebelKnight50 franks_chung It beggars belief! How can anyone have a problem with guide dogs? What about police dogs, customs dogs? Ridiculous!
franks_chung
franks_chung This is disgusting, these activists are nuts.
franks_chung Let's hope this abuser doesn't have kids,her being on the planet is one too many.
franks_chung Enviromental terrorists... and you wonder why the (still) silent majority grows bigger and bigger!!! The people are having enough if these pieces of s h i t
franks_chung Progressivism is cancer.
franks_chung If only Sam could talk, he’d have given her a piece of his mind. I’m going to ask my greyhound for consent to be my companion and let me take care of her. She’ll no doubt ask me if I’m on crack😂
franks_chung Some people are too stupid.
franks_chung Hahahaha, we really are spiralling out of control
franks_chung 🤦♂️
franks_chung I’m sick of activists, climate ones, animal ones. They are all so smug with their holier than thou attitude. If I saw someone picking on someone with a guide dog, they would get an ear full from me. Just go away.
franks_chung WTF is wrong with people !
franks_chung Don't waste your breath. Can't argue with stupid. Like Anti-Vaxers, Flat-Earthers, Extinction Rebellion Knobbers etc etc
franks_chung Activist = terrorist! Absolutely!
franks_chung That's disgusting.
franks_chung Tell them to get f***ed.
franks_chung You know what, their is absolute garbage nonsense. Man’s best friend is DOG
franks_chung I am absolutely astounded. Shame on them! I am a passionate animal rights activist & also a supporter of seeing eye/guide dogs or any type of service dog really. They get looked after really well, so there is no reason for this at all. I can think of far more important issues 😒
franks_chung What a beat up. Extreme, and not usual behaviour .
franks_chung 'Animal activists,' are a variation on the 'Extinction rebellion activists,' and other groups. All authoritarian socialists trying to force people to conform to their warped worldview. auspol
franks_chung That's just getting stupid. Next they'll be telling us we can't keeps cats at home, birds in a cage, rocks in my garden. Morons.
franks_chung Maybe Hitler should've won.....
franks_chung Should lock that activist up as the dog is doing such a wonderful deed and if it didn't want to do it it wouldn't listen or follow the orders.
franks_chung Another day another story of how the world is being overrun by completely unhinged wackos!
franks_chung Beginning to believe activists are bullies in disguise. They want attention not to promote the cause
franks_chung What would they do if they lost their sight, I’m interested to know that
franks_chung The world is going mad
franks_chung The audacity of this man to rudely go blind & force his reliance on a poor animal. Sigh! Other than utter sarcasm I have zero words to even attempt a seriously comment. lost for words, not sarcasm
franks_chung When you say ‘Activists’ you mean 1 person and a pissed up drunk at 1am !
franks_chung If only these morons knew the understanding of a relationship of dog and master especially with disability. Saving these people from isolation. Go pick in those that injure beautiful animals for fun
franks_chung Out there playing in the fields? So, all the guide dogs should become feral now? We've raised a generation of idiots.
franks_chung Lets find these low life scum and put them in a cage with a pride of lions and watch them care for them.
franks_chung With that logic...no-one should have pets of any kind because they didn't give consent. I wonder how many animals the activists own
franks_chung This is what happens when as a society we become tolerant of freaks. There needs to be serious and real consequences for those that carry on like that.
franks_chung They aren't animalrightsactivists they are simply morons.. GuideDogs Some people can't live without them. growUP
franks_chung Leave the man alone. Bullies.
franks_chung Totally disgraceful
franks_chung these so called animal activists are nothing but feral scum, they are danger to the community and should be locked up, I'd love to come across one of them when they're cowardly abusing someone with a guide dog
franks_chung After they cut fences and let foxes into a free range hen house in Forge Creek Victoria, which left 50 hens dead, animal rights activists rationalised their actions by saying “ at least they died free” 😡
franks_chung Shows just how unhinged and pathetic activists have become- Take away their welfare money!
