Letter to the Editor,
I would like to comment on the story about “A special child to everyone she knew” by Art Lawler. There are not a lot of folks that can understand these words as clear as parents who have children with special needs, does. I know the struggles all to well and it seems that there are a very strong few that chooses to keep there children at home with them instead of placing them in a home away from them.

I would like to respond to and answer questions posed in a letter published June 25 in the Pilot concerning the Humane Society of CCL.

Dear Editor,

The center was running out of food and facing the possibility either euthanizing its animals or letting them starve to death. They were looking at putting down up to 140 animals.
