The writer says they are being killed for consumption, how is that any more 'cruel' than killing a chicken/pig/cow/goat/sheep? Perhaps he should add those to his indignant letter and force us all to learn hydroponic farming. This nonsense has got to stop. They are an invasive species, and eternal pest around homes, if someone is consuming them vs wantonly killing for sport, then so be it.

yeah, cultured gentle people only seeking a better life for their chirren... where's the local activist guy saying its not as bad as it seems and there is no vicious gang element to be concerned about coming to our shores.... y'all stay sleeping, I armed and ain gern down easy.

This chick seems to think spending public funds is a photo op, in front of every undertaking she's there grinning, instead of behind the desk working on the next task. Why are we like this here?

Fire them all, 3 weeks of training on where the plane exit doors are, basic first aid, and coffee-making. 4,000 high school graduates every year. No degree needed....or SAT. What kind of leadership can't deal with unskilled individuals clamoring for more in a depression?

Fire all of them, "Flight Attendant" is a high school graduate plus 3-6 weeks training, there are 4000 eager graduates every summer. Be grateful for the opportunity handed to you by these deluded air coffee servers who know where the doors are in an emergency.

what is it with this "rich people" talk we keep peddling? When your labors pay off after a lifetime of toil, and you find yourself with disposable funds in the bank, are you suddenly someone else? do your feelings and memories and loyalties become erased? Its a false separation built upon hapless, resentful ignorance. Rich today, poor tomorrow, same people. Some wish to justify their state by pointing to the success of others. "Dey is take erryting, das why ine gat nuttin". No, your preparation, labor, and product were inadequate, thats why you have nothing. God help us look in the mirror and be stirred to improve.

I wish more of us would take a moment and let this sink in. All you hear is the hustle to "get over". Savor the loved ones around you, the causes, mentor someone. Don't just hustle for "The Bentley"

I think this is daft, if you'd take a minute to investigate what bhs does do, with the limited funds they have, you might eat your ill-informed words. But hey lets all shut up and let the dogs run rampant, noone's responsible for them right?

Some jerk moved into a house beside mine and decided he wanted to be a "dog breeda", he cages some of the animals night and day, so now the space between our houses is an echo chamber for trapped miserable adult dogs to bark and howl incessantly, while the periodic litter of puppies screech endlessly... its honestly mind blowing how crass and uncivil we have become to each other.

more of a testament to spineless political acquiescence... allowing this abuse to continue... for the meager earnings involved, engage the current surrey drivers in animal husbandry and put those poor creatures out to pasture to live out their days, free from treading asphalt roads built for rubber tires, breathing in the belching diesel exhaust from an omnibus 3 feet ahead... stop this folly.
