August

Alice Gomstyn, a staff writer for The Journal News, reported today on a family’s decision to find new homes for its beloved peacocks after the feathered creatures got into trouble one too many times at a nearby school.

So far, looks like readers are siding with the Hodosh family on this one. What are your thoughts?

I’m a newcomer to Rockland from Yonkers. A large part of what I love living here for the last 2 years is that eclectic mix of suburbia and country. It’s a shame that a little inconvenience seems to be the end of the world in Montebello. I frequent the dog park across the street from Viola and enjoy seeing the wildlife that lives here. I never realized that the peacocks belonged to someone. I will miss seeing them because until I spotted them one day,the only time I had seen a peacock was in the Bronx Zoo
