  1. I like this crowd. Wish some of us could get elected to office ! We’d pass some tough legislation…an eye for an eye! Wish the cruelty would end. So sad.

  2. Y todo por esa estupidéz de supuesto deporte llamado caza. No hay necesidad de asesinar animales por diversión y no había necesidad de que la perrita saliera lastimada si se hubiese quedado en casa.
