Am I defending the daughter?

Am I defending the daughter? I am saying I do not know the whole story. Neither do you if your only source is this article. You are making assumptions. This article is not about the daughter, it is about the condition those cats were left in when the man was taken to hospice. You do not know the daughter's role other than she gave permission for the cats to be removed. Your comments would not hold up in court.

"Just saying" is about the

"Just saying" is about the worst saying I have heard. As if what is said isn't really meant or whomever said it hasn't a real clue. In this case, I would say the writer hasn't a clue and making up a story which could fill in the blanks about what was omitted in this article. Filling in the blanks are how rumors get started.

You don't know if she knew. And if she did know (and the story doesn't say) it may have taken time to be able to do anything legally.

I read the entire article. It says neighbors saw him at the mailbox sometimes and after he was taken to hospice they complained about the strays. No mention of the circumstances leading up to the man going to hospice. I have not read anything extra into the article.

Many children do not live

Many children do not live near their elderly parents. We do not know the whole story here. The daughter could live far away, came to check on him and had him removed then gave permission for animal control to take the strays when she saw the situation. Since that part of the story is not in print, we should not judge (and shouldn't anyway)

Not knowing the whole story, perhaps the daughter is the one who had him removed from the situation. Neighbors saw him around and only complained about the cats.

The story does not say the daughter knew how her father was living. You should not be judging when you do not have all the information. Many children do not live near their senior parents.

I don't see how they can

I don't see how they can justify a purchase like this while cutting other programs AND possibly cut back to a four day week. Give the economy a couple years to get back on track

I agree

I am not just going to click the "Agree" button on this one. The Liberal outlook on this one baffles me.

I wonder how many parents

I wonder how many parents would actually approve of their adult children ages 18-20 making less than minimum wage? It's already hard enough to get out on your own .

It wasn't sudden. It was in the news all last week that it would be moved. It makes perfect sense to move it when the office is closed as well.

Tell that to the loggers and truck drivers working in the woods. Also to the blueberry pickers. Not all the fishermen are owners. If it weren't for those who do own these businesses there would be far fewer jobs

Farming, fishing, logging etc

Farming, fishing, logging etc is all extremely hard work. These industries employ many workers.

Where are the farmers? Where are the loggers? Where are the fishermen? This does not represent all workers in Maine. I don't see anyone actually WORKING in these panels.

Student Loans

Yes I am having difficulty repaying my loans. I was never able to get a job doing what I studied, in fact make less than many people who never finished high school.

Albany also has a cattlepound at the top of the hill. It is visible from the phone company driveway, but it needs some clean-up work done. Usually the pounds and the Town Houses date to the same period
