Letters

Editor:

I walk the sidewalks of Livingston almost every day, and have been quite happy with the fact they are clean and clear of dog doo. But, recently, I feel like I am navigating an obstacle course and losing. I have grown weary of the dog owners that disrespect me and the other good citizens of Livingston. Please pick up after your dog. Is that too much to ask?

Editor:

America’s last wild, migratory buffalo (or bison), the beloved Yellowstone herds, have been under siege for decades by Montana’s livestock interests and the government agencies that support them. Under the highly controversial Interagency Bison Management Plan, thousands of wild buffalo have been destroyed and abused in America’s public parks and forests while taxpayers have borne its multimillion dollar costs. 

Editor:

First of all, I would like to thank Brad Shultz for his letter to the editor in last Thursday’s edition of The Livingston Enterprise. It is like a breath of fresh spring air to have a Paradise Valley resident speak out in support of the elk. I agree, this is a critical time for the elk, for they are heavy with calves, just getting out of the winter, and numbers are at a dangerous all-time low. 

Editor,

As most Park County residents already know, brucellosis is a huge concern for local cattle producers. I can feel for them, as this can be detrimental to their bottom line. But as a small business owner I also face challenges daily that affect my bottom line as do millions of other business owners.
