When asked in a interview by Peta, what she thought
Internet Presence about factory farming being the number one cause of
global warming, Chibi said: "Our manager is really on the
politicians about factory farming in Southwestern Ontario. Be-
sides the cruelty to the animals, the runoff of the manure in

Huron a disaster zone. He tells me that the beautiful stretch of
sand dunes and beaches around Pinery Provincial Park and well
north of Grand Bend (the big resort town), gets posted for no
swimming half the summer. It should probably be posted all the
time until they dismantle the factory farms in Huron County."

When asked in a video interview by TasteitTV, about
having to conform to society, Rainbow says: "...A lot of the

which is really inspiring and gives you a lot of energy when
