People with disabilities already face significant discrimination. Why should we make that discrimination easier?

I think not being able to accommodate a dog is pretty legitimate. Dog fur is irritating for a lot of people and I have yet to see labradoodle guide dogs. My father can't even go to indoor parties at houses with dogs, so I don't see how him not allowing a dog would be discrimination - its not because they're blind, he just doesn't want an asthma attack.

Because I don't want a dog in my car

Then don't use your car as a taxi.

Can I ask why not? A well behaved dog -- which by definition a guide dog is -- is generally cleaner and better behaved than many humans.

To be honest if I was running a taxi service I would prefer well trained dogs to humans.
