Scientific tests also showed that they stress out when separated. They believe that by reducing the stress they will raise their milk yield. But considering cows are herd animals, this isn't really surprising.

Very true. I've met some "beautiful" women out there who I thought were ugly cause of their personalities.

yep, unfortunately we live in a world that is controlled by social media and people telling us that you are only accepted if you are thin and beautiful.

I think many people don't really know the meaning of words like "ugly" or "hate", they just use it anyways.

I wish to promote her vision about what’s important I too have a minor facial imperfection much less than hers that has had a negative role in my life and shouldn’t have. I admire her bravery. Thank You for being so courageous.

I wonder how they would know that? So in their world, while swimming past one another, one could be a Phil and another a Jack? It would be like "Hey Phil, I found a warm spot over here, check it out.

Many prisons in the US have a program that has select inmates train shelter dogs, some for specific tasks such as disability service dogs. Marked improvement in inmate behavior and outlook have been noted in these programs and, of course, it improves the lives of the dogs involved.

Greyhounds As Pets NSW have a similar program at a women's correctional facility here in Sydney. The inmates help prepare ex-racing greys for life as a pet, teaching them things like how to go up & down stairs, basic obedience, etc. It's great for the dogs, as well as the inmates who can even earn a government-recognised certificate. (Our foster grey participated in this!) :)
