We don't know what Christmas is going to look like for us here with lockdown after lockdown but I'm going to get my Christmas on and make sure my family has a good one no matter how we do it
A little 3 year old boy in my state has been missing since lunchtime Friday, he has non-verbal autism and it's starting to look like he's been abducted
I can't even begin to comprehend what those poor parents must be going through right now, my thoughts and prayers go out to them, please let him be safely returned to them
It beggars belief that a so-called advanced society still upholds this barbaric animal cruelty
"After the bullfighter, or matador, stabs the bull with banderillas (wooden sticks with spiked ends), his objective is to “conquer and kill the bull with a swift clean kill by placing a sword in a coin-sized area between the bull’s shoulders.” (1) Advocates of bullfighting argue that if the matador aims correctly, the animal dies in a matter of seconds. This type of quick, clean death, however, is not the norm. In most cases, the matador misses the target, injuring the bull’s lungs and bronchial tubes, causing blood to flow and bubble through the animal’s mouth and nose."
So the animal dies a tortuous death.
Shame on all who partipate in, promote and support this disgraceful practice
Somehow we think that those who we grew up listening to and adoring will live forever but as we grow older, they do too and for me, Charlie's passing marks the end of an era
