A letter in a previous issue of this paper (“Oppose industrialization of Sisk Mountain” April 28, 2010, Page 3) was excellent about the lynx.

I have always felt that the animals’ only mission in life was survival and that of it’s species. It was not. Their mission was to oppose clean energy in the form of wind power, which I favor strongly, and I believe that wind power will not have any effect on the wildlife.

My wife and I have lived with birds of many varieties and various animals for 47 years. I did hunt for a couple of years, but she did not approve of me killing anything. Our lawn is frequented with wild life, mostly deer. We don’t feed them, but they eat our nice green grass and sometimes wander into my garden.

I did not like the bunny losing her life to feed the kits, so this is my story.

The Easter Bunny came home from a long night of delivering candy and eggs to all good little children, only to find his wife missing and the bloody evidence that she was killed. Then, he rushed into the hutch only to find his babies had starved.

This story about the Easter Bunny is fiction, but no more so than the stories I’ve read about the opposition to the proposed wind power in Highland.
