Seniors need

lower vet bills

Yes, Speak Out. I have a question that I would like to have answered. When you get older and you lose your spouse and you go to your doctor and they tell you that you are depressed or something and they tell you that you need to get yourself an animal like a dog or a cat to keep you company which I did. The problem is the veterinarians around this area will not let you take your animal in when they are sick and make payments on whatever is wrong with them or the medicine you need to buy. Here you're being told to help your loneliness to get you an animal and then the vets are so high a person on social security cannot afford to take their animals in and they get to love the animals just as much as they do other loved ones in their household so I just wondering why the veterinarians cannot, at least, lower their prices for senior citizens or if they can put you on a payment plan. There has to be some way that there can be help for people who love their animals and get the physical care that they needed. Surely the veterinarians can do something for the people that love their animals so much.

And thank you for letting me speak up to you about this. If there's anyone with an answer to it, I'd like to hear it in Speak Out. Thank you so much. Bye-bye.

Stop races

Stop these car races! What nut thought it was okay for us to have these? Why should all the neighborhoods be subjected to this ear-splitting noise? It is now 1 a.m. This awful racket has been going on for six long hours! My ears are constantly ringing from this noise. How inconsiderate of these people. We can't sleep while this is going on and what about people who have to work the next day? And I can only imagine what damage this loud noise has done to all the pets that stay outside. Please no more of this racket! .
