McLibel

We watched the movie McLibel because we are studying rights and responsibilities in term three.
Can you tell me what you think the central message of the film was. In other words, without focusing on McDonalds, what were the main issues? Put in terms we understand from literacy learning - i.e. What was the "author's" intention?

Check out the website from the film. There are links to animal rights sites too.

HCC Dog Control

The nice people at the pound [next to SPCA] need warm bedding for all their poor dogs. It will be very cold there through winter, so see if you can find old blankets, polar fleece, woolen jumpers, dog coats, etc, to help the poor crittters out.
