Fur No Fur it's alright with me
Some Students living on campus at piedmont have a hard time bringing their pets to school and some students have no worriers at all bringing their pets to school with them. According to The animal policy at piedmont is that the students cannot have any animals in their room that has fur. Most of the animals that the students have on campus are reptiles or fish. The rule may sound a little unfair for the student who small pets that contains fur such as hamsters, but for a couple of big university’s the rules are much different. According to the student handbooks of Cleveland State University and the University of Cincinnati animal policy says that the only animals they are allowed to have are fish. Having animals in dorms I feel should definitely be limited if you have a roommate because someone might be allergic to animals, but for those who do not have roommates should be able to have what they want. According to sixwise.com , found that 54.3 percent of Americans between the ages of 6 and 59 tested positive to one or more allergens. A positive test also means that the person has a greater risk of asthma, hay fever and eczema. The allergies that are connected to animals are not as common as others, but fury animals may trigger one of these allergies according to revolutionhealth.com animals with fur can be very irritating to someone with this kind of infection. I do feel that someone that has to pay to go to school and live in a dorm should at least be able to have a small pet if they live by themselves. Why should those students have to suffer because they want to bring a small pet, but they have to deal with their roommate’s ten foot python? Students at Piedmont are here for a degree so maybe the animal policy should just say no animals of any kind should be allowed in the place of rest. If a student really likes animals the door is open for them to have them, but maybe not the kind that they want. I feel the students should enjoy the privilege of being able to have any type of pet while their in college. For the students that have allergies should request to be moved to another room maybe with a friend, or someone that also has allergies. The rule is alright with me.
