Quote of the Day
|
“The lone star tick is not a savior of innocent animal life. Getting alpha-gal syndrome is in no way ‘good news,’ and if you think that it is, you show your true ignorance of this condition and the effects on people who suffer — yes, suffer — from this affliction.”
—Andrew Keenan denounces the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals’ letter on acquired meat allergy
