Animal care




I was mortified when I read the letter in The Acorn dated Aug. 16 regarding boys playing in our creek. I could not believe the comment that “boys will be boys” and how it is natural for them to poke sticks at the ducks and how her kids and grandkids never caught a duck! So she let them chase the ducks?

My 24- year- old son was brought up in Oak Park, and he would never have harmed a duck or any animal. We brought him up to respect nature and all animals, and that is what good parents would do.

I hope I am not the only one who feels this way, or we are in big trouble.
