POPLARVILLE —
Dear Editor,
Irresponsible animal owners are in a “class” by themselves.
A few weeks ago a dog came up to me while I was at my mailbox. The dog was in pitiful condition but had a collar on. I called the number on the collar and spoke to the name on the collar. After I identified the dog by her markings, I was told, “Oh, yeah she is an old dog and could not get along with the rest of the dogs in the pen so we turned her out.”
What? Really? I wonder if this irresponsible animal owner would turn his family pet out because it could not get along, or turn out a prize herd bull or a thoroughbred race horse for the same reason. I think not. I am saddened for the animal because, obviously, at one time she measured up to the owner’s standards, and now because she does not, instead of taking care of her and providing her a safe haven or putting her down which makes me nauseous to even put in print, he turned her out to fend for herself. If she could not hold her own in a pen, what in the world makes Mr. Irresponsible Animal Owner think she would survive outside the possibly only world she has ever known.
I guess Mr. Irresponsible Animal Owner thought someone would take her in and see to her. You know who you are Mr. Irresponsible Animal Owner.
Sharon Ladner, Poplarville

Never in the history of our nation has a president been reelected who has caused 23 million unemployed, 6 trillion of debt and a certainty that his policies will continue on steroids. Economics 101 would refute these policies. He told his followers to “vote for revenge.”

Butler Now contract raises questions
Dear Editor:
The new contract with Butler Snow creates many unanswered questions. First, after pleading poverty before and during the budget hearings, why is it necessary to spend over $450,000 dollars to hire a firm to do what we already pay the supervisors to do? It’s obvious that the taxpayer was the least considered party to this one-sided contract. Once again, the supervisors have validated one of the 5 characteristics of government. “The few who pay taxes are simply a source of revenue to fund the socialist policies of politicians and their politically connected cronies.” -

Editor;
I had long feared that Obama would be reelected to a 2nd term due to his policies that inordinately benefitted and increased the size of the dependency class -— who would then overwhelmingly vote for him. -

Editor;
Gene Lyons is a master of inneundo and obfuscation as illustrated in his column in the August 30th Item. He starts off by intimating that Mitt Romney lies a lot and then cites 2 probable lies and 1 direct accusation of lying. That’s a total of 3. -

Editor:
Was the reverse 911 used to warn county residents about the flooding danger. I experienced this first hand at 2:30 a.m. while bringing my wife to work in Picayune. I started to investigate and get the word out to media outlets and the only one to pick up on this was WGNO TV in NOLA. - More Letters Headlines
