To the Editor:

I find it unfathomable that someone would not want the children of our community taught to be compassionate toward all living things.

Is it so unconscionable for someone who hits an animal in his or her car to stop and try to get help from animal control or wildlife aid? Who is right and who is misguided when it comes to leaving a suffering animal and just driving away without a thought or care? Where is this person’s compassion? Apparently there is none.
