BRISTOL — To the editor:
Well, here we go again. In the year 2006, some do-gooders came in to town and decided they didn’t like the idea of a chicken running around the neighborhood of Stop & Shop, so the chickens, ducks and geese must go. My brother, John Francis III, had passed away the previous year, so Arthur Sousa kept up the welfare of the fowl. I have known Arthur since we went to a one-room schoolhouse on Metacom Avenue. Arthur is a caring, kind and gentle man, who has had enough grief with his wife passing away recently.
The land has always been farmland; our cows were put there to graze where Stop & Shop and the liquor store are. Also onion fields. How can this be taken away from him? I have been to the property in question — it is farmland, not the Vanderbilt estate.
So to Ms. Cote, I would suggest you find something else to occupy your time, such as the rat population in Providence.
Arthur Sousa’s friends,
Rita and Red Crabtree

Well said Mr. & Mrs. Crabtree! May I also suggest that these folks may want to consider getting involved with other crusades, like child abuse?!!
