4. Centennial Park Farm
Original title in English:Centennial park farm
Post summary:Does anyone else actually care about the poultry? I just got back from a hike, and I can't believe how sad the run is now. Many of them have huge bald patches due to rooster aggression, and they don't seem to have any real grit - when a kid threw a handful of grass in, they all rushed over. The duck pond is also filthy - I'm surprised nothing has been done to improve it.

- They are regularly cared for, and the elderly couple who do it let them out to graze for a few hours at least once a week, sometimes more.
EN: They are cared for regularly, and the old couple that does so leaves them outside to graze for a couple hours at least once a week, maybe more. - I hate to say it, but last time I was there, the only person caring for the animals was a woman with severe autism. She was very sweet, but she wasn't obligated to care for these animals alone, and she had to pick up a chicken, which looked bad for both her and the chicken. It was just a rough scene.
EN: i hate to say this but last time i was there , the only person there to care for the animals was a severely autistic women.

EN: Oh man if you think that is bad, you would never believe the state of the animals that come from factory farms to which the majority of our food comes.
5. Don't vote for the U-Ride owner for mayor
Original title in English:Do not elect the owner of U-Ride for Mayor
Post summary:Whether you believe me or not, I know this is true. I did my research. If you don't want to do yours, don't. Besides being a thief who used U-Ride to steal from you without your knowledge for years, you got your ride quote. He took the money, put it back, then took a bit more a few days later. Not a lot of money, claiming they estimated wrong, but it never works in your favor. It's always in his hands, it's impossible. I checked my bank statements, he did it every single time

Original title in English:Recommendations for company that removes Jappaness Knottweed
Post summary:Hi everyone, I'm looking for a licensed company that can apply the proper chemicals for Japanese knotweed via stem injection. I've called several places and they couldn't help - one still advertises it on their website, but their licensed technician has left. I'm hoping to get treatment during the fall window.
