Hoarder picture in poor taste

Dear Editor: Re: Burnaby hoarder in hospital, Burnaby NOW, Jan. 18. I found it very disturbing that the NOW published a photo of the "Burnaby hoarder" residence on the front page.

I found it very disturbing that the NOW published a photo of the "Burnaby hoarder" residence on the front page. The poor man involved is a neighbour of ours, and he suffers from an unfortunate disease. The fact that it may be fascinating to your readers does not excuse your poor taste. To publish the man's block is also a serious infringement on his privacy and the security of his residence.

You should be ashamed of your actions.
