The guide dogs should not be denied access to public places

Yesterday, the newspaper's story of Jia Junthin, the champion of the Jiangxi Paralympic Games, and Aisha, her guide dog, was of great concern. In the interview, journalists learned that Zhang Jianhua, the master of Jiajunting Xin and two other guide dogs in Jiangxi, were denied access to public places or cars by Zhang Jianhua, the head of the central hospital in Zhongcheng City, and Chen, Vice-President of the Jiangxi Province Association of the Blind, who was carrying his guide dog. So, can blind dogs get into public places? How do blind people get to land?

The guide dogs should not be denied access to public places

Some public places are closed to guide dogs.

In recent days, journalists have followed Jia Jun-Shin and her guide dog Aisha in the town of Ping, entering shopping malls, shopping malls, public transports, and on-line cars, with little resistance except to staff who do not know that Aisha is a guide dog, which is comforting to Ting-shin.

The bus, Joajun Ting-shin and Aisha, attracted curiosity.

In 2020, Ting Xian was twice refused a ride by the same driver while she was on a platform on the Internet, and she decided to “failed”, complaining against the driver. “Not to complain, but to reverse the driver's misperceptions.” Ting Xian stated that her complaint had received a positive response from the Internet-based platform and that, in early December of the year, a service called “Guide to the Blind” had been introduced in Ping.

Today, as long as Ting Xian moves on the Internet platform, the platform automatically identifies visually impaired users, and when the user issues an order, the system alerts the drivers — a visually impaired user with a guide dog. She no longer used her combat posture as a taxi driver, and every time she took a car, the car driver stepped out to open the door and provided her and Aisha with a sweet service.

Ting Xian indicated that, over the past two years, as Aisha became more frequent in public places, she was able to feel that society was becoming more aware and receptive to guide dogs. “When rejected, I always thought that it was not bad for everyone, but because I didn't know that if there were more blind dogs in society, perhaps they would not resist.”

Penalties for violations should be increased

“When you don't know what's going on, big dogs do scare people.” Chen Jisu, Vice-President of the Jiangxi Association for the Blind, said that guide dogs were not ordinary pet dogs, but tools for the movement of blind persons, were not offensive and it was important to raise awareness of them.

The security staff at the mall refused to enter with his guide dog.

Chen Ji-shu suggested that, when blind people are carrying guide dogs in public transport, an additional sentence should be added to the message “Please give way to guide dog” in the presentation of the message “Count for the old and the sick and the sick”, and that passengers should be given guide dog training in order to remove all fears.

Chen Jisu indicated that, although he was sometimes denied access to public places with a guide dog, he was able to be released after an explanation, as the guide dog had a legal basis for entering public places.

Article 58 of the Law of the People ' s Republic of China on the Protection of Persons with Disabilities stipulates that blind persons carrying guide dogs to and from public places shall abide by the relevant provisions of the State.

Article 16 of the Regulations on the Construction of Accessibility, which were in force since 1 August 2012, stipulates that persons with visual disabilities shall carry guide dogs to and from public places, subject to national regulations, and that public employees shall provide accessible services in accordance with national regulations.

The latest dog management practices in Jiangxi Nanchang and Ping township also make it clear that blind persons with guide dogs or disabled persons can only enter public places such as establishments, shops, hospitals, schools, etc.

Since the relevant laws and regulations guarantee the right of blind persons to have guide dogs in public places, why are there still instances where guide dogs are denied access? In Chen ' s opinion, the key lies in the fact that the penalties are either blank or too light.

According to Chen, in the current regulations governing the accessibility of guide dogs to public places, there is almost no mention of the penalties for refusing to allow guide dogs to travel normally; in addition, blind tracts are sometimes broken, disconnected or occupied, and those responsible are punished too lightly.

Chen Ji-shu believes that blind persons are entitled by law and regulations to use guide dogs to access public places and accessible facilities, such as the blind. “To promote the right of blind persons to be blind, the regulations need to be improved, and it is recommended that the relevant legal obligations be clarified and that penalties be increased for maliciously violating the right of blind persons to be blind.”

Be kind to us, please, don't ask.

You meet a guide dog, you don't feed, you don't touch, you don't call.

When you meet a blind person, ask for help.
