Letters to the Editor

Reader: People need educated about ‘wild’ animals

Editor: There was an article in the local paper saying all 88 counties have to have a DWART — dangerous wild animal response team. I went to the Coshocton County EMA director’s office to speak with him. He is busy, he is in training and not there, and the best office closed when I was [...]

LETTER: Editorial unfairly singled out HSUS

Reader: I look my customers in the eye and they ask me what I feed my animals and how do I treat them. Customers — eaters — are asking these questions of us. They are trying to break down the wall of anonymity. We need to meet them halfway and tell them how their food is raised.”

Reader: Meaningful action? Put the blame where it belongs

Editor: President Obama urged “meaningful action” on gun control. And now we have it, and it will do nothing except fulfill the Progressive (code for Communism) agenda.

LETTER: Farmers will do a better job than can-kicking politicians

Editor: Cowboys and business people can clearly explain how the “cow ate the cabbage.” They can explain how she ate it, and where she spit the seeds. Today our elite elected ones can’t generate an original or conclusive sentence. Listen to them defend themselves, interviews, press conferences. Try to understand what — if anything — [...]

Reader: Farm Bureau members did the right thing

Editor: Interesting story by Alan Guebert (Did Mississippi Farm Bureau railroad state director, Nov. 29) regarding Mississippi farm bureau state director Fred Stokes and his Kansas City news conference.

Community needs to unite to stop animal abuse

Editor Why is it that in our society, when abuse occurs, the first thought that comes to mind is “What did the victim do to deserve it?” In the case of rape, we ask what was the woman wearing? In the case of child abuse, what did the child do to push the adult to [...]

People today do not need to live in fear of pesticides

Editor: I am currently a student at Ohio State’s College of Food, Agricultural and Environmental Sciences, and I wanted to shed light on a controversial topic of agriculture I believe many people do not understand.
