Editors, Vineyard Gazette;

Over three days on two streets I counted a terrible tally: three dead catbirds, three dead squirrels — make that four, one more casualty of commuter traffic since I wrote this, walked our dog and now try to type it up. Two dead rabbits, two dead skunks, two dead turtles, one dead Eastern Screech Owl, one dead robin.

All this in just in three days on two streets.

We must show better care for our world. Everyone. Please. Slow down. Others’ lives are depending upon it — not just your own.

With respect for all living creatures,

Susan Jones
