To writer Gayle Stevens: I, too, was sickened by the recent animal shelter article.
To managing editor Todd Foster: I wasn’t offended, just sick.
Phil Lane, supervisor of Sullivan County Animal Control, was very compassionate and seemed truly concerned as we all should be.
May God bless volunteers Jerry, Robert, David and Mike for the love and caring of these precious animals.
The rescue groups are God’s angels for these unfortunate animals. I have two rescue animals myself.
Kim Pruden did a beautiful job in trying to obtain the $1 million contest prize. I have no idea how she came up with all the great ideas as well as carrying them out in such a timely manner.
Early in the euthanasia article, Dr. Basil Jones appeared to have compassion in handling a horrible job, but that ended when the article said the dead dog was pushed off the table “with a loud thud.” Is it too much to ask one last act of compassion and give God’s creatures dignity by gently placing them in their death bag? After all, none of them selected this place to die.
