Julián Castro Unleashes Comprehensive Animal Welfare Plan

Julián Castro, a Democrat running for president, just unleashed the most ambitious and visionary animal welfare plan coming from anyone running for political office, ever.

His plan centers around making the U.S. a “no kill” nation and calls for ending euthanasia of all domestic dogs and cats in shelters.  It also calls for improving federal housing policy for people with pets, a subject that this former Housing and Urban development secretary is well familiar with. Also, very importantly, he wants to prohibit the testing of cosmetic products on animals, and will make animal cruelty a federal crime and establish minimum spaces for farm animals.

Years ago, in the bustling city of Montreal, Brigette discovered a pregnant feral cat named Poupée living in an alley with other cats. With winter fast approaching and snow beginning to fall, the woman knew she had to help this soon-to-be mother. Brigette couldn’t imagine how difficult it would be for Poupée if she had to give birth in the alleyway. Poupée, whose name means “doll” in French, was taken in by the kind-hearted woman, and within three days after labor, they were able to find loving families for all of Poupée’s kittens. YouTube However, it was clear that Poupée was not meant to return to life as a feral cat; she was destined to become the queen of her new home. Poupée is an incredibly delicate and affectionate cat.

A unique aspect of Poupée’s personality is her love for Barb...
