a mom blog : writing, living and parenting in Calgary Alberta
You might have heard – the CEO of GoDaddy has videotaped himself killing an elephant. While I don’t think it’s ok to kill animals unless you’re going to eat them, I’m not upset because of what he did. What`s horrible about this situation is that they are using it for PR like it’s some kind [...]
