No dogs allowed

This took place in the UK... are they less tolerant of Goths than we are here?

Goth who walks fiancée on a leash is banned by bus driver who told him: 'No dogs allowed'

Last updated at 20:12pm on 22nd January 2008

Given that she describes herself as a human pet ? and is happy to walk around on a lead ? Tasha Maltby is used to odd looks and even odder remarks.

But nothing had prepared her for the reaction of the bus driver who allegedly told the self-styled Goth and her boyfriend: "We don't let freaks and dogs like you on."

Miss Maltby and her fiance Dani Graves were so angered they have complained to the bus company of being "victimised".

"It is definitely discrimination, almost like a hate crime," 19-year-old Miss Maltby said yesterday.

The music technology student had this defence of her lifestyle.

"I am a pet, I generally act animal like and I lead a really easy life," she said.

"I don't cook or clean and I don't go anywhere without Dani. It might seem strange but it makes us both happy. It's my culture and my choice. It isn't hurting anyone."

The bus driver, however, has obviously not been listening.

He has repeatedly refused to allow Mr Graves, 25, and his "pet" on to his bus in Dewsbury, West Yorkshire.

Last month, with Miss Maltby on a leash as usual, the couple tried to board a bus at the bus station.

The driver, who was off duty, was standing near the door.

Mr Graves alleged: "He shoved me off the bus. He called us freaks and he called Tasha a dog.

"He said, 'We don't let freaks and dogs like you on'.

"He basically grabbed my T-shirt and slammed me backwards.

"I got a bit angry and called him a fascist pig."

In a separate incident, police were called when the driver, who has not been named, refused to allow other passengers on board after the couple ignored his orders and sat down.

The couple, who live on benefits in a council house and plan to start a family, have been friends for years.

They started going out together in July and became engaged in November.

Paul Adcock, of bus company Arriva Yorkshire, said: "We take any allegations of discrimination seriously.

"Mr Graves has already contacted us directly and as soon as our investigation has concluded we will inform him of the outcome."

Where can i buy a goth chick on a lead?

 

[Demon-Xanth]

It's not every day behavior, but if it makes them both happy, I don't see a problem with that.

whats a council house? benefits? is that the equivalent to welfare and living in section 8 housing?

i know my pet does just fine without a leash, and if i didnt have to use it, he wouldnt be on one. hes a good dog. why doesnt he just train her to be more obedient and leave the leash at home?

i still think the driver was an idiot taking that much onto his shoulders, he must be a moron if he didnt think there would be repercussions from calling her a dog.

Wow, two things here...

The couple, who live on benefits in a council house and plan to start a family, have been friends for years.

We're living off of the government and see no reason to pursue working for a living.
Also, she is 19 and he, 25. Friends for years? Hmmm. More like...I was this really dweebie guy who couldn't get a woman to give me the time of day until I was 21 and found this 15 year old to do me.

 

[MaxDepth]

Okay...if I was into the whole goth thing...and I was dating Vyxsin...I might, just might wear a leash.

But there better one mean-ass collar for me to wear.

Hate crime? Riiiight...

I'd give her a belly rub.

 

[torpid]

What do they do if there aren't two adjacent seats on the bus? Do they dangle a wire on the floor and possibly trip people?

 

[RESmonkey]

Wow. Just wow.

The one without tits?

I'd like to see the video from the on-board camera of the bus driver throwing the little goths around.

Maybe she's a wild sort of animal - one lacking societally acceptable excretion habits. A bus driver doesn't want to have to be cleaning that up all the time.


And I guess it goes without saying: Doggie style?
