Willie Nelson is supporting efforts to outlaw dog fighting in
Georgia and throughout the nation.
Nelson has taped a public service announcement (PSA) supporting
legislation that would strengthen Georgia's dog-fighting law.
The PSA will begin airing on television and radio stations
throughout the state to coincide with the Dec. 10 sentencing of
former Atlanta Falcon's quarterback Michael Vick on federal
dog-fighting crimes.
The spots will also run in January when Georgia lawmakers convene
to once again consider the bill, which has been around in one form
or another for the past few years. The bill would make it a felony
for anyone to sell, train or transport dogs for the purpose of dog...

Lumberton, TX -- Victims of Hurricane Katrina
worried about their pets and 44 percent of them did not evacuate
for that reason. Some who evacuated left their pets behind, posing
a great health and safety risk to First Responders.
Since then, federal and state legislation has
changed to allow pet-friendly shelters. Of the many lessons learned
from recent natural disasters along the Gulf Coast, pet
preparedness was one - perhaps in part thanks to a public education
campaign titled Saving Pets Saves People.
The award-winning campaign was launched by a
coalition of fire, law enforcement, emergency management, regional
planning commissions, agricultural extension agencies, the Humane
Society...

Colorado Springs, CO. is at the top of a Forbes
Magazine list of the best pet-friendly places to live. The list
includes Portland, Ore., Albuquerque, N.M. and Charlotte, N.C.,
cities that are large enough to draw lots of pet shops, vets and
public parks, but small enough not to be facing dense
overpopulation.
The pet-factor may be a big consideration when
millions of Americans decide where to live, and where to retire.
'Americans love their pets, shelling out more for food,
supplies and veterinary care than they do on consumer staples like
beer, ice cream, cosmetics and golf--some $36 billion annually. The
combined total of cats and dogs in the U.S. is estimated at 163
million, or more...
