The war on pet stores and more: Letters – Latest News
War on pet stores?
I don’t know if there’s a “war” on pet stores, however the pet commerce definitely has its casualties — the animals (“Mad War on Pet Stores,” John Stossel, PostOpinion, Oct. 13).
Puppies and kittens bought in stores usually come from filthy breeding mills, the place moms are caged and bred repeatedly till they collapse. Responsible legal guidelines forestall cruelty and defend shoppers from heartbreak.
Stossel usually writes in favor of particular person rights. We ought to keep in mind that animals are people too — ones who deserve more than to be handled as merchandise.

Devine is Divine
Miranda Devine is divine — she nailed it as typical (“Recognition of greatness,” Oct. 16 ).
Her column on President Trump is particularly spectacular and a good and authentic evaluation of his extraordinary strengths, character and character. She is a highly effective author and speaker of truths.

Rikers Island flop
The insane scheme to close Rikers Island and change it with 4 limited-capacity boutique jails positioned in residential neighborhoods was an absolute boondoggle and a clown show from the beginning (“Rebuilding Rikers: The One Sane Path,” Editorial, Oct. 10).
City Council Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito and Mayor Bill de Blasio introduced in former Chief Judge Jonathan Lippman to legitimize the project, however he was by no means something however a political shill for his corrupt childhood pal Sheldon Silver.
Lippman, de Blasio and Mark-Viverito are just like the Three Socialist Stooges of prison justice reform, and Zohran Mamdani is Comrade Shemp.

Don’t allow them to go!
How did judges get the authority to release identified and confirmed murderers (“Cut loose to ‘cut another,’ ” Oct. 16)?
Most instances, the felons go on to repeat murderous crimes and no one pays consideration to the judges. In this case, Judge Ralph L. Wolf granted Demitri Marshall release only one month after he slashed an harmless individual. When will judges be held accountable?

Kamala’s delusion
Kamala Harris’ delusional tome is full of pipe desires (“Kamala’s book tour de farce,” Miranda Devine, Oct. 13).
Anyone even considering of leaping on her bandwagon is equally out of contact with actuality. She manages accountable everybody and all the things as a substitute of embarking on a therapeutic journey of self-reflection on her inadequacies. She is full of narcissism and egomania. Her political future will likely be going nowhere.

Foolish Mikie
There appears no comparability between the common sense marketing campaign of Jack Ciattarelli and the unglued foolishness of leftist Mikie Sherrill (“Hamming it up on trail,” Oct. 12).
In her rush to sound like a chief, she often comes up with concepts that voters — together with different Democrats — discover unattractive and too expensive with little substance.
If there’s one factor we’ve realized prior to now 10 months of President Trump’s time period, it’s that selling targets which might be unattainable solely frustrates voters. Common sense performs higher than pie-in-the-sky as a result of some of these targets may very well be reached, and that’s what feeds recognition.
