Cat Owner Spent Nine Months In Court & Fifteen Hundred Dollars To Get Her Rightful Cat Back!Queen Elizabeth II 'Hit Hard' By The Passing Of Her Last Corgi!
Queen Elizabeth II has suffered a sad loss.
On Sunday, the last of the monarch's beloved corgis passed away at the age of 14. As you surely know, the 92-year-old has kept faithful pups as her companions since she was a young girl.

Willow the corgi descended from Elizabeth's original dog Susan, so the passing certainly marks the end of an era. Back when she was a young princess, Elizabeth was introduced to the corgi breed by her father King George VI. The Windsor family's OG pup was a corgi, named Dookie, who joined the royals in 1933.
On her 18th birthday, Elizabeth was gifted Susan -- and the rest is history. Willow's death comes over a year after

Only folks who don't acknowledge that orcas don't belong in theme parks are the ones making money from exploitation. Read "Death At SeaWorld" by David Kirby or see the new documentary "Blackfish" which just premiered at Sundance. Once you know, you don't go!
You don't have to look any deeper than the surface of the water to get a sense that SeaWorld cares little for the safety of its trainers, or the health of its killer whales. What they seem to care about instead is profits, and creating a big splash of a show for an audience deliberately kept ignorant of just how unnatural and cruel this venue of "entertainment" is. It's long been known that orcas get frustrated to the point of aggression against humans in these tiny tanks crammed with huge, often incompatible, tank mates. SeaWorld has hidden that fact from the public since its conception, and is still trying to hide it now. I look forward to the movie "Blackfish" being seen in wide release so that people can make a truly informed choice on where NOT to spend their entertainment dollar.
Re: LindieO – I agree with your comment. If OSHA capitulates to SeaWorld, it's putting a corporation's desires above the mandate of safety. SeaWorld has thrown down a banana peel, OSHA. Don't trip on it.
