US Army Veteran, Committed to makeing the world a better place to live. I pick up trash and recycle. Liveing in the country is a privilage. Land is to be conserved and worked not abused with trash and chemicals. If you have an animal take care of it. Treat it the way you would want to be treated. Animals I have that are for meat are still treated with respect until they full fill the purpose.
