I've seen first hand what these "circus" folks do to these poor animals. It sickens me.

Herbed Chicken Paillard
A thin slice of meat that is quickly cooked by grilling or saut?ing, a paillard is typically pounded with a meat pounder to reach the desired thinness. Place the food between 2 sheets of waxed paper or plastic wrap and strike it with glancing blows, working from the center to the edge, rather than pounding down directly on the meat.
2 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves,
about 1 1/4 lb. total, pounded to
1/3-inch thickness
Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 to 2 Tbs. unsalted butter
1 to 2 Tbs. extra-virgin olive oil
1 small shallot, minced
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/2 cup chicken stock
2 Tbs. chicken demi-glace (if can't find only use chicken stock)
2 Tbs. minced fresh chives
2 Tbs. minced fresh flat-leaf parsley
2 Tbs. minced fresh tarragon
Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Spread the flour on a plate. Dredge the chicken in the flour, coating the pieces completely; shake off the excess.
In a large saut? pan over medium-high heat, melt 1 Tbs. of the butter...

EEf its not so much thay they were low income...the area has a reputation for being full of drug dealers, gangs etc. The Government thought that making a little 'conclave' where people on the dole and other welfare recipients could all hang out together was a marvellous soci-economic decision....as they could all use peer support and things would be fine.
Well they DO support themselves...and peer support means sharing the drugs. My sister was housed there by the government at one stage (reduced rental housing) and she begged us to help her move out because her next-door-but-one neighbour volunteered to babysit her kids (3 yrs old and 14 months old), and fed the 3yo a laced biscuit...she ended up in hospital and my sisiter nearly lost her kids because of someone else's madness.
Hell 'I' am a low income earner...I officially earn about 150 per week under the poverty line...but hubby and I managed to raise 2 kids and keep them healthy and safe, so money or lack of it isn't the issue.
What is the issue in that area is that it seems to be accepted to partake of drugs and alcohol, damn the kids or...

That's kind of my thoughts. I understand that they want to solve the mystery and all, but what a waste of tax payers money.
