Interesting because they pop up all over the Internet in various guises warning against the dangers of animal rights, so as far as I'm concerned their name is a real misnomer. <br /><br />http://Have Gone Veganhttp://www.havegonevegan.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7688566476953748496.post-67956457364289875572011-06-08T06:25:24.235-05:002011-06-08T06:25:24.235-05:00I'm with D.E.M. and co - small steps can, and ...I'm with D.E.M. and co - small steps can, and do, have great consequences.

Your comment indicates you're quite impressed with his work, good deal...anything that helps the animals.

The only thing I want to say about my work against gestation crates is this: it rests on the idea of increments. Given that the squillions of people around here won't give up their bacon, we need to fight them on their own turf.... we need to get the pigs out of those horrific cages and on straw Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
