Containing with a fence would be good with big garbage bins.

ALOT of them are truly mentally disabled, completely tormented inside. How is this so hard to understand for some people. WE ARE NOT ALL THE SAME. What is easy for you is not easy for others. Doesn’t mean they need to be thrown away. They need help and assistance and the government is failing OUR PEOPLE. I find that our country is so god damn selfish, it’s disgusting.
