PLUCKY CANUCK
Re: “” April 13, 2017
When I water my lawn in the summer, wild birds make a habit of sometimes landing on my nozzle to drink. Maybe if we quit excusing animal cruelty and being more aggressive at prosecuting it, criminals like the asshole that attacked him might think twice. –Liz Burn
Perhaps humans should respect nature so we wouldn’t need to have this conversation. People do feed Canuck, and a lot of other wildlife – live with it and be kinder to animals.Ěý– Bryan Carret
This is typical....blaming Sean and the young fella that saved Canuck as a fledgling. How about blaming the psycho who hurt Canuck? And what about the SPCA, who appears to have done nothing so far? It is not illegal to feed birds but it is illegal to purposely cause them harm. The writer of this article apparently has never seen friendly pigeons, chickadees that eat out of your hand, and gulls that swoop down and eat your food at the picnic table. All wild birds have socialized to some extent because of their proximity to people. How about shaming the half-wits that cause needless harm, rather than the good people who are looking out for the wild animals and birds? –Tina Kendall

THE 'WHAT IFS' OF DOVER
Re: “” April 6, 2017
Another one bites the dust. I am really saddened about the closure [of the pub]. I very much enjoyed the music and dancers, and I would also catch the scores of the games on the big screens as I was passing by. Whatever was happening made me smile. There are so many empty storefronts these days because of increased rents that tenants cannot afford. It makes me wonder if the owners make more money with the empty spaces than with tenants since they can claim the loss on the tax forms. A big thank you to the musicians who played the great music that I enjoyed as I was going by on my walks. I miss you already. –Danielle Dalbec
