I care for kids, families, the sick and the elderly, working class, middle class, and every American. To end poverty and advance the American Dream, I am Libertarian Girl.
An animal rights activist told me last July that a person from the animal rights movement had recently been hired by the USDA, and hopefully that would make the USDA’s policies more animal-friendly.
