Fun and entertaining

The interactions between Margaret and her guests is always so fun and pleasant, but I’m actually leaving this record because of the Riot Dogs episode: PETA is so much worse than you could imagine. Their “shelters” have an obscene, I believe over 90%, kill rate. This isn’t a bug, it’s a feature. They don’t believe animals should be owned, and would rather kill them than let them “suffer”. They are ABSOLUTELY DESPICABLE.

Thank you
