>I think Guide Dogs are a good cause though.
I'm not vision impaired myself, but I had a vision impaired girlfriend (yeah yeah I've heard all the jokes before). Anyway I hung out with the community a lot, and I got a sense of what it's like to be vision impaired (not trying to be politically correct using this term, but very few people are actually blind - basically only those that have had their eyes removed).
Guide dogs are fucking expensive, and even the people I knew that had them didn't bring them everywhere, you can get along just fine with a cane in the vast majority of situations. I was actually surprised by how capable they all were, I DEFINATELY would much rather be vision impaired than hearing impaired.
The dogs' main value is as a companion, and the value of a 100k guide dog vs a $50 mutt is minimal. It doesn't even live for the full life of the human, so you would have to fork out probably over half a million to equip one person with guide dogs for their life. A cane is cheap and does the job. Also all the people I ever met from the guide dogs society were money grabbing cunts, they shut my girlfriend out of the room in the vision impairment community centre they were using as a rec room so that some random normie karate club could use it (they were paying). But can you imagine kicking blind teenagers out of a room in a community centre FOR BLIND PEOPLE so that you could collect shekels from normies who want to use it. The guide dogs charity was running that community centre and I really got to hate them.
If you want to help people with disabilities you should support sports. Sport can be the difference between someone falling into depression when they are suddenly crippled or lose most of their sight. My gf played blind soccer which is fucking mad, and all the people in the disability sports community were really positive whitepilled people. However some people get disabled and then just sit at home on their bux feeling sorry for themselves.
tl;dr fund sports not dogs.
