To Jean Denis (Letters, 7/3): I will commiserate with you about feeding our beautiful wildlife. I have seen people stand right by the educational signs in Alton Baker Park and throw Doritos or bread cubes to the birds! I want to wring their necks, but then I know that they think it’s just great to share their bad food choices with animals (and to vocally defend their right).
It’s an idiot’s way of “bonding” with nature, I guess.
Solution : Plaster the parks and fishing areas with bright simple signage: BIRDS DON’T EAT PEOPLE FOOD! PERIOD!
Education starts in schools with the kids. If their teachers don’t bring this subject up, it’s a sure thing their clueless Wonder-Bread parents won’t either.

Help keep truly independent
local news alive!
As the year wraps up, we’re reminded — again — that independent local news doesn’t just magically appear. It exists because this community insists on having a watchdog, a megaphone and occasionally a thorn in someone’s side.
Over the past two years, you helped us regroup and get back to doing what we do best: reporting with heart, backbone, and zero corporate nonsense.
If you want to keep Eugene Weekly free and fearless… this is the moment.
