Guide Dogs in Taxi Cabs

I read the article on the website Free West Media which cites a Tyrolean newspaper report as the source.

The meat of the story is that local taxi drivers are refusing to carry BLIND or VISUALLY CHALLENGED people accompanied by their GUIDE DOGS.

And this even when taxi rides have been booked in advance.

A refusal to do ones job  for 'religious reasons'  appears to be an increasing problem in Innsbruck where 80% of taxi drivers are Muslims; a religion which teaches that dogs are 'unclean'.

The report refers to similar problems relating to guide dogs now surfacing in England.

An incident in the city of Leicester was mentioned.



Perhaps half the world is barking mad?
