I am sorry this is not off topic that I did talking about a dog/ a hearing dog. I can see somebody doesnt get it. what a pity! or what a denial of urs!
I dont feel that someone can walk all over and disadvantage of Vision impairment and Hearing/Deaf Blind 's needs. Just like I dont feel someone can walk all over and use an excuse to disadvantage of ASL to make it look bad tool that people throw it away the best communication between Deaf and Hearing that works so well. Also it helps visual impairment and Deaf blind with ASL while they are using tactile sign language. Why haterd and destroy our true language in ASL?
I am not going to destroy and disadvantage Vision impairment / Deaf bliind s rights and feel it s not right for me as a Deaf person with no visual impairment to use a hearing dog. Thats the purpose for Deaf Blind to have it not for a Deaf people who doesnt really need it because they keep saying "I am not disabled" after all you agree what people with audist attitude to conform us and had done so we can function hearing. Scoffs!
It does not make any sense for anybody with HA and CI device to abuse and take advantage of it that you dont really need to have a hearing dog while u can see well. You said U can hear everything with a device however I THINK NOT!
I feel that it should help d/Deaf Blind people with low income when they need a hearing dog.. Now everything cut off the budget because of stupid President Bush decided to use money for WAR not helping people who need it badly, Dont destroy and abuse that opportunity for Visual Impairment and Deaf Bliind's needs.
As far as I know some d/Deaf blind or visual impairment do not want to have a hearing dog because it s too expensive and too much hassle and work to take care of. So they use the cane. It shows me they are a very strong and independent while u are giving me the impression that Deaf people are having a real double disabled because they dont allow us for being deaf or legally deaf. They are wasting time to push those d/Deaf children all those years after all they are making a huge mistake and hurting d/Deaf children.
I dont feel that d/Deaf children need to depend on the equipment so they can functionally hearing because they have no their rights to be "me", myself' and the whole of me as a Deaf person and our adaption needs. They did it to those d/Deaf children to be helpless for not capable to speak their rights after all.
I dont think Hearing people are gonna to have a Deaf dog because they can hear. **sarcastic** so therefore Deaf people with no vision problem are gonna to have a Hearing Dog because they can see. What the heck going on here!
People took over ASL so they can use the oral method only.. People took over a hearing dog so they can have their rights so they are getting more disabled for not able to adapt their own deafness.. Ahem! I find this is outrageous.
I assume that you are allowed to destroy our Deaf adaption after all you cried out to depend on the materialism all the time that does not really necessary. You are giving the wrong impression about d/Deaf people 's capablities.
Just be careful what u are asking for. Sighs!
Leave it alone s for those needs for their secondary disability. Thanks!
Have a great day!
