Margaret on February 28th, 2013

This was seen in yesterday’s issue of Barbados Free Press and I am one of many individuals who think that Barbados should have better animal rights legislation so I am glad to see a major blog like Barbados Free Press taking it up!

Margaret on February 26th, 2013

B’DOS. DOG TRAINING CLUB I understand the B’dos.
