SLUGS: To those who hang heads of animals on their walls. I feel it is barbaric and disrespectful.
HUGS: To all the volunteers who provide food and support to many of our fragile citizens. Remember at least 30 percent of those patrons have mental illnesses that disrupt their life.
SLUGS: To the mature couple with three children. You decided to leave your infant child outside in a stroller on Wednesday while the rest of your family attended inside at a local business. Shame on you!
HUGS: To whoever borrowed my Fiskars maul from the back alley. Please drop it off when you’re finished with it. My kids are getting cold.
HUGS: Great big hugs to those who work with local youths. I am so happy that my son has such a great space to go to. You always have big smiles on your faces when I pick him up. I feel so thankful to know he is in such a great place. Thank you!
SLUGS: A dirty, smelly, dog crap slug to all the so-called dog owners who abuse the privilege to use the rail trail. It has gotten so bad that I and I am sure others have stopped using the trail due to its crappy condition. Every dog owner has forgotten a bag to clean up after their pet, but with the amount of crap on the trail this year it’s like the entire town just thought the crap fairy would look after it. Double slugs to those who use a bag and then just leave it on the trail! Come on people, pick it up.
SLUGS: Not a month has gone by since they overturned the dog ban and I’ve already stepped in dog s%*t while walking down the sidewalk on Baker Street on my way to work. It took me half an hour to get it out of the soles of my boots. It was gross. Slugs to lifting the dog ban and slugs to dog owners who don’t understand that with privileges come responsibilities.
SLUGS: Big, stinky, slimy slug to the dog owner who didn’t pick up their poop on Baker St. Boy, it didn’t take too long to see dog excrements smeared on Baker. You could tell that several people stepped into it and spread it into several smaller spots. How great. “Yay for dogs on Baker”! *not*
SLUGS: Big, slimy, gross slugs to the contributor last week who described people living in poverty as beggars and states that impoverished people have a choice of where to live and that they make Nelson look bad! Address the systemic problem, not the victims! Show some compassion and understanding of how the world actually works!
SLUGS: To the nasty woman with the large camera on Family Day. My dog and I were having a great day in the park until we came across you! Your rude, threatening language, behaviour, and repeated attempts to hit my dog was the most appalling thing I have ever seen. There was no reason for this. You would not even let us continue to walk by either. I also have found out that you have done this to many people in the park, all of which have the same story. Please be careful! I feel sorry for you because the next person or pet you do this to may not be so tolerant of your behaviour. — Concerned pet owner
