really understand what you are doing. and if you do then it's ashame that you don't care. Again I agree that the waters should be protected however I don't think this is really the reason you are doing all this.

[grizz7788]

protect our waters, so stop running your septics from your camps right into the lakes. You say that doesn't have an affect on the water PLEASE it's crap and pee just like you say in the song, stop peeing in OUR waters. Oh well like I said before, let your tax dollars pay for our welfare, or ripe all the young children out of their homes make us all move away and then what? This place is a ghost town. Businesses in Digby and even Yarmouth will feel the affects of it. I don't think you people

a little unrealistic, impossible really. You are not trying to protect the enviroment. You are trying to shut us down. As it was said at the meeting in Carlton the other night, don't give them three years, shut em down now. Don't you care about the children involved, that will lose everything their families have worked hard for. This place would be a ghost town. We would all have to move away or go on welfare and then your tax dollars would then have to support us. Again I agree we should

I really do love this song, how you say we are trying to destroy your dreams. What are you trying to do to the mink ranchers??? And you say what about our children dont you care about their dreams? What about our children?? Don't you care that you are trying to detroy families and homes by what you are doing? You say you want us to clean up our act but really all you want is to shut us down. I understand that there needs to be rules and regulations, guidelines yes, but the new guidelines are

@grizz7788 And really most farmers are not getting RICH,as you put it. A lot of their money goes back into their business. And they may be making a comfortable living. And who doesn't want to do that.There are some yes that may be, but just because they have mink does not make them rich. And it does not mean they are polluting the waters. Please do not put them ALL in the same catagory.

@fenwayism not all ranches have run off into lakes and rivers. Some have made a bad name for ranches and it is easier to focus on the negative and to not show the positives. And things like this just give some people the wrong idea and then they don't want anything to do with mink farms. But in this area if it were not for mink farms there would be nothing.

[grizz7788]

@fenwayism Does it really matter to you how many hours a week these people work? Again it all depends. And ranches don't only provide work for the actual workers on their farm but help support many many other jobs as well. If you were to sit down and think about every single business that a mink farm supports you would probably be surprised. I have worked in the minks for the past 10 years and love my job! And please don't get me wrong I do agree that we shouldn't be polluting our waters but

@fenwayism 5 jobs at $ 4.00 per hour, that's really funny. Depending on the size of the ranch you can have a lot more workers then 5. And you say the only people getting rich are the farmers. Who do think gets rich working at walmart? The cashiers? Don't think so. Who gets rich at pizza delight? The waitress coming to take your order? MMM nope dont think so again.

[fenwayism]
