Radio Rose, the brainchild doll of Beulah Louise Henry, the "Lady Edison," makes her broadcasting debut on the Gimbels in-house 500W radio station, WGBS, on January 28, 1925. She had a loudspeaking unit in her bisque skull, the bell of an 8-inch horn in her chest, and a complete, self-contained three-tube radio set in her dress.
Beulah Henry was an inventor who made extensive contributions to consumer products and manufacturing technology. She was a descendant of Patrick Henry.
I need you to care about your sheep the way you care about your cat or dog. I need you to care about your chicken.
"The vet for sheep is an hour's drive from here." You would do it for your dog. You would do it for your cat. Now the animal is just suffering.
"The chickens got eaten by a fox." Can you be sad about that beyond the fact that you now "have" to buy new chickens. Do you understand how scared they were.
These are living beings. Stop toying with their lives. Don't buy them if you don't want to care for them as they deserve. That is the least you can do.
