Ask Amy: A veterinarian never gets used to animal loss

Amy Dickinson, Tribune Content Agency on

Dear Amy: I read with interest your response to the “Greg in Minnesota,” who was concerned about the increased pollution caused by individuals idling cars in parking lots.

The writer mentioned knocking on the offender’s window to confront them.

If I were giving him advice, in addition to the statistics you stated, I would say “don’t”!

You don’t know who you are confronting. Are they angry, frustrated, intoxicated, high on drugs, carrying a firearm? You don’t know how they are going to react to being confronted!

– Concerned

 

Dear Concerned: Absolutely! Based on the wording of his letter, I assumed that “Greg” was no longer personally confronting people. I certainly hope so.
