点评:I have epilepsy. I have a service dog who is a seizure alert animal. She has been protecting me for 10 years . She is a small 15 pound Rat Terrier. We arrive at the dock and went to Captain Mark's boat.We told him 2 seniors and my service dog. He told me we would have to wait for any other people that showed up to see if they were alright with my service animal. I told him my dog was a service animal plus I even told him she was a seizure alert dog . I even showed him her tag which I carry on her carrier with her license number and picture. He could also scan it to see all my dog's information. I told him it was against the law what he was doing but he just told me he wasn't going to argue with me.He had it turned around, we should have been allowed on the boat and anyone who was not comfortable with it could choose not to go. He said we had to wait just in case someone was afraid of dogs or had allergies. After he made me feel so uncomfortable all I wanted to do is leave this little town Edenton NC and our beautiful day was destroyed. I would tell anyone thinking of going with this man that is so prejudiced against someone with a handicap to think twice. He's not someone you would want to spend any time around!
I will be reporting Captain Mark for an ADA violation so hopefully other individuals with a disability won't have to encounter this like we did.
翻译:我患有癫痫。我有一只服务犬,它是一只癫痫警报犬。她已经保护我 10 年了。她是一只 15 磅重的小型捕鼠梗。我们到达码头,去了马克船长的船。我们告诉他有两位老人和我的服务犬。他告诉我,我们必须等待其他出现的人,看看他们是否可以接受我的服务犬。我告诉他我的狗是服务性动物,我甚至还告诉他它是一只癫痫警报犬。我甚至向他展示了我放在狗笼子上的标签,上面有它的许可证号码和照片。他还可以扫描它查看我狗的所有信息。我告诉他他这样做是违法的,但他只是告诉我他不会和我争论。他把事情反过来了,我们应该被允许上船,任何不舒服的人都可以选择不上船。他说我们必须等待,以防有人害怕狗或过敏。他让我感觉如此不舒服,我只想离开北卡罗来纳州伊登顿这个小镇,我们美好的一天就这样毁了。我要告诉所有想跟这个对残障人士如此有偏见的男人约会的人,一定要三思。你根本不想跟他待在一起!
我会举报马克上尉违反了《美国残疾人法案》(ADA),希望其他残障人士不会像我们一样遭遇这样的事。
