Beveridge Says He Was Misrepresented

I have lived in the same neighborhood as the Evans and their Pacific Wildlife Project since 1986. I have only praise and respect for what the Evans are doing to help other living beings that have been injured because of, for the most part, the encroachment and the destructive habits of humans. The work that the Evans are doing is work that hopefully most people support.

Many of us would like to do more for the plight of helpless animals, but it often requires a considerable sacrifice of time and money--a sacrifice that many of us are unable or unwilling to make. The Evans, on the other hand, have devoted their lives, and have, I am sure, sacrificed a considerable amount to help rehabilitate injured wildlife.

I find it amazing that Ed Beveridge is finding something to complain about. The neighbors on both sides adjoining the Evans have no complaints, and they have lived there for a considerably longer time than Ed. It is unfortunate that Ed is not proud to be a neighbor to such caring, conscientious and proactive people. I question why Ed is seemingly so concerned about his property value. When he moved there the neighborhood was not in nearly as good a shape as it is now, so I am sure his property value has escalated on a relative basis. Mine has.
