Families Save Six Elk on Christmas Eve
As a 95% vegan lover of animals, I find this story interesting. It happened Christmas Eve when a hunter alerted his friends about 12 elk that had fallen through the ice on a river. Families were able to save 6 out of the 12 elk, and the six elk who died will be food for the rescuers.

Lots of good news, JoAnna. I’ve been following the news here in Los Angeles about California’s new food waste recycling program that supposedly went into effect on January 1st. At the apartment complex where we live, we’ve received no news from our landlord about this new mandate. A green waste bin is not yet available.
