Dear Editor,
Regarding the article "Dog attacks 7-year-old," in the Feb. 11 issue of The Carthage Press, how many more people – and animals – must be mauled by pit bulls before lawmakers enact a pit bull breeding ban? Although these dogs can be loving companions, they are bred to be aggressive and they are abused more than any other breed of dog on the planet.

Dear Editor:

For decades, Roaring River had been a clean stream, enjoyed by trout and anglers who come from throughout the nation to fish. It is devastating to Roaring River that a concentrated animal feed operation now sits above the river, poised to lose animal waste into the very stream where trout feed and people fish and swim. Indeed already there is pollution from chicken litter in Roaring River recharge area, and the entire White River Basin, according to the Department of Natural Resources, and the Department of Conservation.

Dear Editor:

I watched the video SiCKO and then decided to do my own research on the subject. I have to say I have never been more ashamed of my country than I am right now.
I am so absolutely appalled right now that I cannot express myself rationally so I will just say this.

To the Carthage Senior High School Class of 1980:

I just wanted to share with you that our classmate Alan Ritchie is in need of our prayers.
Alan has been battling cancer since 2001. Currently, he is in intensive care in a Little Rock hospital with pneumonia.
