It’s great, well-written…I enjoyed reading it!

We would love a link on your website to our great vegan dog food, V-dog, and, of course, we would link to your website. We are vegan and animal activists. I am Chairman of the Board of United Animal Nations (UAN), we have 35 people in Iowa working on animal shelters as we speak. Also, I represent PETA in the California Animal Association (CAA), a group devoted to passing animal friendly legislation. We are working on a huge animal bill to ban battery cages, veal crates and pig gestation crates here in CA this November.
Thanks, Dave
