Remember the butterfly release issue at my local hospice — the release I have spoke against for the last three years? I just got news that it no longer will happen!
I am so happy. It was first my lone voice. Then the next year a letter in the paper. Last year I wrote on their facebook page and referenced my researched letter about these releases and other people wrote in asking them to stop it.
Finally, they did. Only one person was still in favor of it — the person who began it. I am so glad this event is over.
May the factory farming of butterflies stop everywhere.
My marigolds say hi to all of you!
