We had so much fun today at the dog park. I think we like to go there just like our dogs. We live close to the lake and sometimes we take them down there. They enjoy walking and getting in the water. I was thinking about getting another car. I can't afford a new one and have to get a used one. Along the way to the used car lot we saw a lot of… people looking up in the sky.

Promotes indoctrination of children into speciesist worldviews. Absolutely disgusting... Why on Earth would a Real Estate company/individual be promoting exploitation and violence of sentient beings on their page?
END SPECIESISM.
