Thank you for the counterpoint. I agree it’s a fair and constructive one.
How would you feel about treating it like workplaces that ban allergens on a case-by-case basis depending on the needs of their constituents and clients?
For example, I was once in an organization that banned latex, especially balloons, because someone was severely allergic. However, most places don’t ban latex.
Hmm interesting. I think in small, isolated communities (like islands), that could definitely work. But as soon as you go beyond “everyone knows everyone”, you’d have to start polling everyone to see if they have allergies and that just seems infeasible at scale. Plus, if anyone moves into the community you’d have to ask them and potentially re-home an integrated animal.
