I would like to point out that the dogs eat the droppings of cats as there are nutrients… Why not do the same ! We all come from the same place ( the vagina of our mother lol !), We are mammals ! Il est temps de changer nos habitudes de consommation et d'alimentation ! So long live shit !

Nabilladu62 has opened a new issue… It is true that Ikea have failed the consumer's choice ! But nevertheless, He did not die of man and pies did not taste so bad after all.
