I highly doubt that Lantana does NOT feel those wearing HA’s are “disgusting”. I also feel that Lantana has plenty to contribute to the conversation and I would hate to “ignore” her and possibly miss out on a gem of information. Furthermore, just because you happen to disagree with Lantana, does not mean that she, herself is “disgusting”, and I am sorry you feel this way. Maybe if you took the time to get to know her and question her meaning more, you may feel differently.

I don’t think that to “state such” would be “ignorant”. After all, I have seen plenty of deafies who do try to pass off ordinary pets as “hearing dogs”. To do so makes the rest look bad and then there is reason to question everyone. I do agree that service dogs are NOT pets and I believe that is exactly what Lantana was trying to state, as well.
