Believe it or not – there is a myriad of credible animal welfare orgs out there. Aside from the more widely… Read full post »
Mob Wives: Reality TV’s biggest animal advocates?
As an animal advocate, I say kudos to "Mob Wives," the reality show I most love to hate – on a weekly basis.
Wait – hear me out.
I can’t think of a finer caliber (pun intended) of people to be associated with the perpetuation of animal cruelty, which… Read full post »
