Bob Barker Quotes

One of the things that I have seen change that warms the cockles of my heart is what is happening in the cosmetics industry.

Elephants need freedom of movement. In circuses, they live in cramped quarters, which is not the life intended for them by nature. Some are beaten daily, forced to do ridiculous tricks and robbed of every shred of dignity.
