In researching topics that are of interest to me, I have gained new understanding. I have chosen to share my experiences with the reader. I am fortunate to have an outlet for these learning experiences, mainly through 'TheMinx', an online magazine created by WebGoddess. I am hopeful that you will take a moment to peruse each article at your leisure. I appreciate your comments. This article is about Animal Cruelty. There are seven sub-topics: Animal Abuse, Vivisection, Factory Farming, Fur, Puppy Mills, Bloodsports, and Laws/Statutes. All text/graphics by Stacey Rogers. Web design by WebGoddess. How, where and why did/do you get a dog? This informative article gives you many ideas for finding your next 'best friend'. There are also links for animal protective agencies, including the Humane Society and SPCA. Graphic courtesy of WebGoddess Time to whip out the vacuum and do some housecleaning? It is not so easy when it is our entire Earth, but there is still much we can do. An ounce of prevention is worth more than a pound of pollution, right? Graphic courtesy of WebGoddess And you just thought spas were for those who are extremely wealthy in time and money. Wrong! Check out this article for local (to DC) day spas, where you too can become rejuvenated in as little as an hour! From manicures to mudbaths; haircuts to hot-waxing; massage to make-up, they have it all. Package deals make handing over your credit card a bit easier.

Click the graphic to the right, and find out.) Graphic courtesy of WebGoddess Judith Martin/Miss Manners has written many a book and newscolumn on this topic. So, I thought I would put my two cents in to create a substitute, abridged version. Graphic courtesy of WebGoddess All information copyright 2003 staceylrogers.com.
