Dear Editor:

I am going to talk about an issue that has been ignored long enough. The "unlawful" dumping of animals on county roads.

We are getting together and taking down tag numbers and vehicle descriptions as well as the descriptions of the individuals in the vehicles that dump these poor animals and most likely tell there children that "the people out in the country will take care of it". Wrong wrong wrong!

Those poor animals are usually given one of the worst ways to die that you can imagine. Starvation, dehydration, or shot. That little dog, cat or puppy or kitten only knows you just left and is wondering where the little girls and boys are that love it so much or where their owners are that came and got them wanting them so badly with the remark, "oh yes we will take really good care of it." Good job! We will also start taking down tags of the cheapskates that dump their garbage on our streets instead of taking their unwanted furniture or garbage to the dump just another mile or so down the road.

But the victims here are the poor defenseless animals that are wondering where their owners could possibly have gone. Another problem you see, most of you pathetic people that do this come from the city of Sallisaw and can take your unwanted animals to the city pound and at least give them a chance at a "good" home and owner they deserve. We out here in the country cannot take them to the city pound because we live outside city limits. Think on these things the next time you choose to come to our neighborhood and dump those poor animals, we are watching you and will gladly deliver your description and your offense to our county sheriff. Wonder how you will feel then. You never know where a video camera is going to show up!

After an experiment that lasted several months, the editors at Your TIMES decided this week to end the practice of allowing anonymous comments on our website because most of the comments involve personal attacks and unfounded accusations. These comments do not add information to a story, or add any true insight. While we believe in the free exchange of ideas, it had become evident that was not what was happening in the comment section of our website. Readers can also become fans of Your TIMES on Facebook and may comment on our postings there. Readers are also encouraged to write letters to the editor to the newspaper about matters of public interest. The newspaper circulation is several times that of the web site, so readership is much higher. Letters must include a name and phone number so that we may contact the writer to verify authenticity of the letter. Letters are limited to 500 words and one letter per writer per month is accepted.
