Dear Editor,
Sandy Compton was, of course, correct in pointing out that the goat problem at Scotchman Peak was, in fact, a human problem.
I think that the hikers that feed the goats should be shot with bean bags. Then, if the offending hikers continue to think it is cute to feed crappy human food to wild animals of any species, they should be darted, radio collared and relocated to a large urban location where they can sit on a bench and feed the squirrels and pigeons.

While we have you ...
... if you appreciate that access to the news, opinion, humor, entertainment and cultural reporting in the Sandpoint Reader is freely available in our print newspaper as well as here on our website, we have a favor to ask. The Reader is locally owned and free of the large corporate, big-money influence that affects so much of the media today. We're supported entirely by our valued advertisers and readers. We're committed to continued free access to our paper and our website here with NO PAYWALL - period. But of course, it does cost money to produce the Reader. If you're a reader who appreciates the value of an independent, local news source, we hope you'll consider a voluntary contribution. You can help support the Reader for as little as $1.
