Good!

I agree. At the shelter I volunteered at they had lists you could go on if you wanted a certain breed. If one came in they looked at the list and went down the line and called people if they felt it seemed like a good fit. If someone is so set on having a certain breed then they should be patient and wait for one to…

Adoption takes care of an unwanted baby, not an unwanted pregnancy. I think the emotional and physical impacts of a pregnancy ending in a baby or ending in adoption are similar so it makes sense women don’t often choose this route.

I remember the first time I saw “Hope Crisis Pregnancy Center” in my city. Several years ago, before I’d ever heard of these places.

This is a mental disorder related to other kinds of hoarding and has little to do with being an animal lover.

They’re technically hoarders; they’re not evil people, just sick. They probably lack the resources and/or the awareness to get help.

Sporta explains that these centers use names that sound similar to those of abortion clinics—including typefaces and logos—and staff people whoseem like medically-trained professionals, but aren’t.

Get your animal fixed people!

Not to mention that pulling off a three decade marriage is a bona fide success. This is not sad. Congratulations to them for their long relationship.

Pro tip: If a voice is telling you to do something you feel 100 percent comfortable doing that also makes your life easier, it’s not likely to be God.

There’s a reason God left Jesus up there on that cross: to teach him to pull himself up by his bootstraps.

but you wouldn’t know that from asking him—as he hasn’t said a word to reporters since the incident occurred.

I’ll be the research assistant (pro tip: “do your own research” after making a claim and being challenged on it is a pretty good sign that you are full of shit or, at minimum, are not arguing in good faith)

After about 2 minutes on Google, this was one of several articles on the topic I found.

I know from research and personal/professional experience that keeping bees ALIVE and healthy is currently of great concern to beekeepers due to colony collapse disorder and the slew of imported pests threatening bees both domesticated and native. Dead hives are bankrupting beekeepers and driving the price of new…

Vegans that don’t eat honey piss me off. Buying honey, particularly if you buy it from your local bee keeper, is the number one best way to support the bee population aside from keeping bees yourself.

Plus the alternative is usually agave nectar, the production of which is causing huge deforestation issues.

Proof please. I’m a beekeeper and I know for a fact such a practice would distroy your profit margin. Plus, bees can absolutely survive Canadian winters- one of the most common species of honeybees is from Russia.

see, i think not participating is WHY we have the broken system we have today. I feel like continuing to vote for the most progressive (and viable) candidate, every single election, will get us more Sanders type people running. If these progressives abstain because the progressive candidate isn’t progressive enough,…

You should report missing person (child or adult) as soon as you know they are missing. There is no rule about having to wait 24 hours, that is from TV only to increase drama etc.

Ivory is inherently a shortage good. Part of its appeal beyond aesthetics is the fact it acts as a status symbol, because it’s a shortage good(i.e. there’s never enough ivory to a widespread demand). The only way to stop the ivory trade and the near extinction of elephants is to vigorously shame and prosecute anyone…

Putting it back on the market, or using in any capacity, reinforces the idea that it’s an available and acceptable commodity, and it isn’t. I’m all for this burn. Ivory is already pretty hard to come by — making it harder to come by might raise the incentives for poachers, but since poachers are shoot on sight in at…
