Dagny McKinley: Value all life
I feel the need to express my concern regarding the article “Dog shot outside of Yampa” in the June 2 Steamboat Today. I would like to ask the landowner who shot Mr. Bubbles where his compassion is? If we have such little regard for animal life, how much regard can we have for our own lives? How small of a person is the landowner that he feels no pain or sorrow at taking a life? How would the landowner feel if his son or daughter stepped onto another person’s property to chase a piece of paper that had fluttered out of their hand only to be shot in the head?
