A worrying trend is developing of dogs being banned from public transport (even with a guide dog!), from walking a dog in a park near persons of a certain religion and even from owning a dog!

Tolerance seems to be rapidly disappearing on all sides.
The Muslim Council of Great Britain has counselled tolerance - which is good - but sadly there are others who do not agree and want to take things much further.
I respect the right of people to hold to a particular religion if they feel the need for it, but not at the cost of limiting the freedom of others. In the case of a disabled person with a guide dog being refused transport, even my tolerance runs short.
