What
say you?
Over the past few
days a number of readers of the Herald have asked me a number of
interesting questions that I consider worth publishing. I was asked to
find out what material or objects will be approved for pickup during the
forth coming spring cleanup in the Crowsnest Pass.
Most of the
people I talk to were confused after reading that numerous articles will
now be restricted from the spring program this year.
I passed these
concerns on to our outstanding reporter Nathen, who may be able to
obtain the information needed to help all of us in selecting what is
acceptable for pickup by the municipality.
Next comment as I
write this editorial is the talk on the street is about the individual
who disposed of live puppies in a chemical toilet at Crowsnest Lake last
week. Rumor has it that he/she has been identified.
Unfortunately I doubt under our Canadian
justice system if the punishment will fit the crime if the person is
caught. Every time I travel along the highway to Lethbridge and drive
past numerous feed lots I reflect on the inhumane (in my opinion)
treatment we humans render on cattle enclosed in confined areas. The
smell of the cattle excrement at these locations is overwhelming and
must surely represent a health problem to both humans and animals. It
would seem to me that in this day and age we should find a more humane
way to treat animals being fattened and scheduled for slaughter.
At least that's the way I see it. |
