A shelter received a donation of stuffed toys and let each dog pick 1.

This can't be a quarterly event -- your country needs to do this EVERY. WEEK. Then national wildcat strikes. Frequently.
That's how it's been done everywhere for decades. And it usually works.

Congratulations to Maria Corina Machado, recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize - her incredible optimism has already changed her country. I spoke to her, and wrote about her, at the beginning of this year:

I hate the way Iran treats its women.
But a country that kept a brain dead woman alive to force her to give birth, and forced her family to pay for it all against their wishes,
hardly has a leg to stand on.
We treat women like beasts of burden and take away their agency right here.
So…🤷🏽♀️
