Vegan Means Saying Yes to Life (1)

Once upon a time there was a girl named Liv, which means life, at least in the Scandinavian area, who went for a walk with her dog Nanna.

In China alone there are 90,000 mares, from which the hormones are obtained, because the change symptoms are so annoying, almost life-threatening. There are other treatments, but who wants to do that when a lot of them make good money.
