Revas Rags 2 Roses: animal cruelty

So, what's the hub-bub, Bub?

Well, If you haven't already heard, Google reader is going bye-bye. Which, in my humble opinion will be the death of Google. There are much faster browsers, but Reader was my go-to place to catch up on my favorite blogs. There is a link supported by Change.org where you can sign a petition to ask Google to KEEP READER! Who knows? It might just work. Here is the link:

However, If that doesn't work, then no worries...

Go to Reader and take your followers to another place. I am going to be using Bloglovin'. It is so easy to transfer your blog list. Go here:

You can download your blog list and send it here:

Somehow, either Google or Bloglovin' had a quick and easy "move list" that was practically done for me. All I did was push a button or two. Now that I've already transferred my list, I cannot remember how it all happened. But it did - and it was easy-peasy.... Ooops....

On another topic....

PETA,

(People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals)

Is kicking some ass!!!

The North Face is in a pot of hot shit water for the cruel way they have been extracting down from geese. They actually shove a metal pipe deep down into the geese's stomachs and force feed them up to 10 times their stomach mass. This is agonizing. THEN, their feather's are ripped off them, ALIVE... Rod and I flooded North Face's site with e-mails last night. They did a Macy's trick and tried to block any more people from contacting them, by asking for a CREDIT CARD NUMBER (illegal!!!) before you could comment to them.

The way around that was through their "customer support" area, where you can send as many ~~compliments~~ complaints as you want. It was awesome and at least for a couple minutes I felt empowered. Although, the poor underpaid employees will probably be the ones to deal with it. Oh well.... If you go to the site and watch the video "This is research" you will see how important the work of PETA really is. Though I warn you, you might cry the rest of the day....

" While other come in bodies different from our own, we're all the same inside. Who are they, and who am I, that I should live and they should die?"
