I have a question for you.

Would you donate a pair of jeans that you don’t/won't/can't wear anymore to someone you know who is desperately in need of a pair of jeans? Okay, so I already knew you would say yes. How about to someone you don’t know who desperately needs a pair of jeans?

If your answer is yes to this one, I have a suggestion.

What if the animal kingdom could understand the dramatic presidential election? What if they could comprehend the shocking nightly news? What if they could understand the latest gossips from our weekends... "She left with who?... He got arrested for what!?"
