CBR 10 Bingo: So Shiny! Bingo #3! On April 24, 2018, Joseph James DeAngelo was arrested and charged with eight counts of first-degree murder by the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Department.

I guess I heard some stuff about how Temple Grandin was involved in helping to create humane slaughter practices, and I didn’t want to read about animal slaughter, even if it was humane. It turns out that only small parts of a few chapters talk […]
