Bricks tell the story

 

Tall ceilings and hard surfaces make for a very echoy sound that travels a long way in this doctor's office in Old Fort.  But the exam rooms do have lowered ceilings and afford privacy.

The nurses have a bulletin board that gives medical information. 

At some point in this building's life (I do wonder what it originally was) there was an entrance on this wall...now bricked in.

I seldom pay attention to the furniture that stands along the walls. No idea who it belonged to either. Maybe if I'd read some of the signs I would have found out!

Post #1 on Farm Animal Awareness

This National Farm Animal Awareness Week in September is the perfect time to remember that farm animals are the ones who suffer the most while advocates exhaust their resources fighting potential allies.

Nearly 80 billion sensitive, playful, intelligent pigs, chickens, cows, and turkeys are raised and slaughtered each year for meat, milk, and eggs.

The majority of these animals are intensively confined entirely indoors or crowded together in barren feedlots where they suffer immensely. Source: "Meat and Dairy Production." Our World in Data.

All of this information was published in the Treehugger Newsletter today: Factory Farming Is More Destructive Than Ever

Plant-based and sustainable farming advocates must join forces to fight it.
