They produced more brine than they did oil. Someone better tell those drillers what to look for.

Comment on HSUS creates its own Ohio ag council to try and gain farming ‘street cred’ by Kevin

Mary: cleary you did not read and understand Susan’s article, HSUS at the end of the day do not care about “any” type of livestock operation big or small. They have an “anti-meat” agenda period. No hunting/fishing/livestock production. They are wolves in sheeps clothing by dividing the livestock sectors. As far as property values. I see land values go up dramatically around livestock facilities more than not. One would have to assess the actual reason. Do not attack the industry that feeds you.

Comment on LETTER: Editorial unfairly singled out HSUS by BJ McDowell

BJ McDowell — Mon, 13 May 2013 23:16:16 +0000

When a organization that states they want no more domestic animals born, stated by the CEO of HSUS. Yet the complete “animal right” groups are backing HSUS up completely. Then why as a farmer do you have animals? Do you use any critter in the animal world to profit in anyway such as bees to pollinate? Do you set out M44 to kill the wild animals as they have or own stock in companies that make these poisons to kill animals? As vegan groups owning stock in places that sell meat for people to eat, selling false adds to people stating the money goes to help animals and then settle for 9.3 million dollars such as the ASPCA did to Ringling Brothers. Pay millions to your employees and send less than 1% to these poor animals just to kill them. Look at the number of animals these organizations list they have killed in a year average of 90%. You Sir are twisted.

How dare you pretend to speak for farmers while continuing to promote industrial farms? My home is valued at a 126,000 loss thanks to the impact of Park Farms/A & j farms. Going down the road pretending there is no loss rather than addressing the issue of losses is hardly fair. I am presently in the hospital

Comment on Out for blood: Ticks, Lyme disease cases on the rise in Ohio by Richard Pollack, PhD

Richard Pollack, PhD — Mon, 13 May 2013 10:32:10 +0000

Finding and promptly removing ticks (from a person or pet) can dramatically reduce risk of infection. Once the tick has been removed, have it identified. Only certain kinds of ticks can transmit the agents of Lyme disease, babesiosis and anaplasmosis. Other ticks may transmit other infections. The longer the tick is attached, the greater the risk of infection. Physical samples can be sent, or digital images uploaded, for a rapid, confidential, independent and expert evaluation. For more educational information and help with identification, visit https://identify.us.com.

Comment on Open wide: Tooth abscesses are very common in alpacas and llamas by Derrick Spangler

Derrick Spangler — Sun, 12 May 2013 08:43:42 +0000

Alpacss and Llamas have 3 canine or fighting teeth on either side, 6 total.

I’ve never seen a case where those teeth hindered opening and closing the mouth. Very rare. Castration, and mutilation of co-inhabitants is the key issue for determining importance of canine removal in camelids.

Comment on Horses can’t lie down for too long by andries

andries — Fri, 10 May 2013 16:20:37 +0000

Hi, my friend has a horse. The horse was fit the one day and the next she just was laying there. She became very skinny in a matter of hours, and she is just laying there. Its not colic, we did check, and there is no bite marks or fever, she just picks up her head like two inches and drops it again, then thrashes a bit then nothing. The vet doesn’t know and we are looking for all possible answers to help poor Muds (its the horses name)

Comment on USDA and EPA: Report shows no definitive reason for honey bee colony collapse disorder by Melekalikimaka

Melekalikimaka — Wed, 08 May 2013 12:19:22 +0000

Don’t worry, the EPA and USDA will wait until all the honey bees are dead before they do anything. Then we can depend on other countries for our food, honey will be $1200 an ounce and Bayer can laugh its way to the bank with the neonicotinoid money.
