Blind woman suing nudist community that told her to get rid of service dog
In 2011, a medical condition caused Lutz, Florida woman Sharon Fowler to lose her vision. Legally blind, she had to acquire a service dog, named Laura. Ms. Fowler and her husband, Craig, moved into the Paradise Lakes Condominiums complex in 2012 with Laura. However, after they had settled in, Sharongot a letter from the propertys management that was very upsetting, as WTSP 10 News reports.
She was told that because Laura, a black Labrador, was over the 25-pound weight limit, she needed to go. This, despite Ms. Fowler providing Paradise Lakes with the proper documentation that proved Laura was a service dog. Sharon told WTSP that Paradise Lakes also claimed, [Laura] was out of control and needed to be removed off the property, or we would be fined $50 a day.
She did not mislead the community. As the Tampa Bay Times notes, Before Fowler moved into the community, she was required to fill out an application and pass a background check. She disclosed her need for Laura and the dog's weight. Her application was approved.

I’ve never heard of an out-of-control service dog.
Why would this woman want to move into a nudist community anyway?
To: bigbob
After all, the dog is a nudist too.No, it isn't. Look at all that leather on it. It obviously wants to be in the Castro District of San Francisco.

The canine was banned when he refused to remove his coat.

The canine was banned when he refused to remove his coat. No, no, no... They dog has to go because of his bad behavior. Isn't obvious? They have no problem with the dog staring at nude people. . . or the dog being nude, but that the dog IS DRESSED!The dog has a leather fetish!

The kind of people who go to nudist camps make you realize the reason behind public indecency laws. Public indecency laws were written to prohibit the sort of dangling tallywackers that swing freely in city sponsored Gay Pride Parades these days without any legal crackdown.
Can't make the homosexualists feel unwanted or criminal. Nope.
Can't make illegal immigrants feel like outsiders or criminals either. Nope.
Down is up. wrong is right...

Can see where large doggie land mines and cold nosing can upset some nudists
