Re: [AI] guide dogs in India

2011-09-05 Thread Asudani, Rajesh
Well, I also think it is not worth it to spend so much on a guide dog in the 
first place.
To me, they sound luxury.
We can hire an assistant/escort for a rate much cheaper than that...

Certain misconceptions need to be cleared here: Anyone talking about
clean streets, you only have to visit New York to see how rats room
around streets, subway trains etc and it does not prevent blind people
here from using dogs. True people do have to face situations like
other people trying to pet the working dogs etc and it does creat
problems for a guide dog here. Nowhere are the visually challenged
people well off. I can say that it certainly includes the United
States. So to emphasize my point again, none of these should be
excuses to avoid taking-up this issue in India.

Hi,

I think Due to lack of space, neat and clean infrastructure and civilized
people it is not possible to make use of guide dogs in India.  Creating
right condition or environment does not rest in one individual. When your
neighbour deliberately park their vehicle very near the staircase of 
building then you can imagine the scenario outside.

It is like that, not knowing about England, but in Austria, first, one 
does not have street dogs, and I mean it, not a single one! Busses and 
underground/trams/trains are assured with low step to climb, so a guide 
dog can manage easily.
On top, communication with a dog, especially with a guide one on the road, 
can turn into a big issue if anything happens and the dog was distracted 
by someone else, which means, it is  forbidden for children and/or grown 
ups to communicate with a guide dog on the road, unless emergency 
situations.
Not to mention, the hygeen level a dog requiers, especially if living 
indoors is very very costly, by all means and I am sure this increases 
still when it comes to a country with a summer climate like India.

Which of these problems are not faced by people using guide dogs in,
say, England?

They don't, right?

So, in the same way, guide dogs might not work as effectively in India
as they do in the US, but I don't think that is a good enough reason
for not getting a guide dog.

Re: [AI] guide dogs in India

2011-09-03 Thread Adhimoolam Vetrivel Murugan
Certain misconceptions need to be cleared here: Anyone talking about
clean streets, you only have to visit New York to see how rats room
around streets, subway trains etc and it does not prevent blind people
here from using dogs. True people do have to face situations like
other people trying to pet the working dogs etc and it does creat
problems for a guide dog here. Nowhere are the visually challenged
people well off. I can say that it certainly includes the United
States. So to emphasize my point again, none of these should be
excuses to avoid taking-up this issue in India.
