「馬上」更好! 導盲馬比導盲犬優

馬的性格比較穩重,實在,正直!(圖/美聯社)

視障者的福音,一種迷你型的導盲馬,更能勝任導盲犬的工作。這種迷你型的導盲馬,大約只有2英尺高,身材大小和拉布拉多犬差不多。工作能力一點都不比導盲犬遜色。

這隻導盲馬「熊貓」受過兩年的特別訓練,主人幫牠取名熊貓,是因為導盲馬身上的毛色和熊貓相同,只有黑白兩色。對於導盲工作得心應手的熊貓,主人Edie對牠讚不絕口。

曾經飼養過3隻導盲犬的Edie表示,她覺得曾經飼養過的3隻導盲犬,沒有一隻能像熊貓這麼優秀。牠可以辨示紅燈停、綠燈行,到任何地方購物時,都可以很有默契地引導她。

在北卡羅萊納州,熊貓的指導老師指出,導盲馬的引導工作,往往可以做出比導盲犬更好,因為牠們並不容易分散注意力。他們也建議,大家可以多使用導盲馬,因為導盲馬有25~35年的壽命,遠比導盲犬來得長。

來自賓州費城52歲的Edie,從出生後就失明了,她表示,熊貓就像是個舞蹈夥伴,「我可以從牠的動作反應與牠溝通。」

這是要證明,馬比狗略勝一籌?

但我們終究是人呀...

怎麼可以把騜上比作馬...小心被斬。

Earlier, I was trying to respond to the comment "Who can teach the pro-Ma people a hard lesson" from Mr.Lin, and accidentally post on the wrong site. Anyway, what I am trying to say is that people in Taiwan need to correct the mistake electing Mr.Ma as president, who attribute to the sufferings of Taiwan people now, and may even cause the disaster for our next generation if Mr.Ma dose what he promised to help China taking over Taiwan. The people in Taiwan who truly care about Taiwan's future are the ones can teach pro-ma's a lesson.

The success of using internet to spread the good ideas for the country from U.S. President Obama can be a perfect example. People in Taiwan can tell everyone reachable to vote for the good candidate with integrity as legislators in order to change the laws, which only favor KMT now, not for the majority of Taiwan people. The worst corruption and bribery problems are prevailed in KMT.

However, most media are pro-KMT and never report everything Taiwan's justice system accused the previous President Chen was following the way KMT did. The legislative and justice departments should promote the fairness. Sadly, from the view of democratic countries, Taiwan's justice has been distorted by pro-KMT government officials. Please tell your friends and family the only way to ensure a happy life is to have a democratic government that will listen to what most majority people need, not like what KMT did to benefit pro-KMT people and attack the people with different opinions.

Two decades ago, I was an pro-KMT because the media provide the information always brainwash people that KMT are good. So far, the internet in Taiwan is still an area allows free speech, but I heard that China background capitals bought some Taiwan media. I am afraid that President Ma has started to control media recently may also try to somehow suppress free speech like China in internet.

Through internet, I hope people in Taiwan realize that Ma's cabinet to give away $3600NT is actually a bad policy wasting billions of Taiwan people's money to benefit some people processing the vouchurs according to the Wall Street Journal. People may get a lot more if the government give the money to people directly. On the other hand, most Taiwan T.V. only report how good KMT did to give money to people. This is another example why still a lot of people being fooled by the pro-KMT media. So, one by one, if you can influence more people to change Taiwan's future by all the facts, I think there is still hope for Taiwan.

Hi,

"Well said" is my response about your story. I am really touched by your life experience, which can truly represent Taiwan's spirit: integrity.

I am sorry that I don' t know how to write e-mail in Chinese, and hope somehow you can read what I am trying to say.

Even though I moved to U.S. eighteen years ago, I care about Taiwan deeply. I feel bad that people in Taiwan have been fooled by most of the manipulative media, which were controlled by those pro-KMT(Kuang-Ming-Tiang) people. Most of time, Taiwan news are favored by KMT will be seen on T.V, radio, or newspapers, and the news report anything negative about KMT will be screened out. Especially President Ma, who does not want to democracy in Taiwan, but did opposite to destroy Taiwan's freedom of rights, are strongly criticized by his adviser in Harvard University as well as a lot scholars in the U.S.concern about democracy.

不過也有美國的視障者組織攻擊說這只是噱頭而已。
