It’s odd, just last night I was lamenting over the fact that nobody seems to give a damned about all these animal cruelty cases that you and I read about every day. Dozens show up in my Google alert every single day and it is extremely depressing to have to read them all. Especially when [...]

I took this from the Coca Cola website: Does The Coca-Cola Company sponsor rodeos? “Coca-Cola cares about the welfare [...]
