Allow assistance dogs/guide dogs in animal parks in the uk
Change the regulations so that all assistance/guide dogs are welcome in any animal park in the uk so that disabled people can visit.
Perhaps have a holding area for the assistance/guide dog or a member of staff allocated to look after the dog and a member of staff to guide the owner round the area.
Disabled people who require and rely on there assistance/guide dogs are being discriminated against as they can’t visit animal parks in the uk.
Assistance dogs are not just pets- they are a vital requirement for many people in enabling them to get out, be social and to enjoy life as much as people who do not have disabilities.
Assistance dogs under go extensive training to promote owners independence and live a “normal life”.
It’s unfair they can’t be included because of there service animal.
