The dairy industry is horrific to cows. Worse than the meat industry! The more people who get out and stand up for things they believe in the better. Be that animal rights, woman's rights and anti-trip marches. Together we can make a difference!<br /><br />Helen<br /><a href="http://www.teainthetub.com" rel="nofollow">Tea In The Tub</a>Helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15932357506543822519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5806773310362265026.post-44145237699941868472018-03-09T23:12:16.798+00:002018-03-09T23:12:16.798+00:00Amen Laura, amen!Amen Laura, amen!Emma Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06657634570935308707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5806773310362265026.post-63211241861998454962018-03-09T12:48:57.393+00:002018-03-09T12:48:57.393+00:00I've seen many posts on international womens d...I've seen many posts on international womens day.

My ex-boss made all the women in my old work redundant (myself included) so I'm very thankful to be self employed but there's still so much that needs to be done to achieve gender equality xKate Williamshttps://www.craftsonsea.co.uk/noreply@blogger.com
