Daily, animal wardens take time to talk to individuals in the field to promote humane education. Time permitting, wardens work closely with the humane society to present education programs in public schools or displays at county fairs. As part of its efforts to improve community animal control, the department has applied for permission to use sodium pentobarbital for euthanasia in the field.

Rabies update nimal rabies nationwide appears to be leveling off, according to Dr. Greg Parham of the federal Centers for Disease Control inA Atlanta, GA, although some local trouble spots will continue to have record numbers of cases. There were about 6000 cases of rabies in animals in the US in 1980 and more than 7000 in 1981. Parham believes the 1982 total will drop back to 6000--a high enough number but nevertheless a decrease. One of the local trouble spots includes northern Virginia, western Maryland and southern Pennsylvania. Fairfax County, VA, has declared a rabies epidemic, and all high risk animals (raccoon, fox, skunk, bat and woodchuck) received by the Department of Animal Control are being destroyed rather than relocated in the wild as usual. These animals are being tested for rabies, and about 10% are infected. The county is also holding rabies clinics for pet animal vaccination.

She did not have any identification tags nor was she microchipped. No one came forward to claim Ingrid so she was placed for adoption at PHS/SPCA’s Tom and Annette Lantos Center for Compassion in Burlingame. “Despite being blind, Ingrid is playful and loves to cuddle,” according to Tarbox. “She’s just like every other dog who wants love, attention and a safe place to call home.” Ingrid’s adoption fees are waived through the month of February as part of PHS/SPCA’s Senior Sweetheart adoption promotion. She is spayed, microchipped and vaccinated. Ingrid was treated through PHS/SPCA’s donor funded Hope Program, which provides animals like Ingrid a second chance by treating medical and behavior issues. On average the Hope Program saves more than 150 animals a month. People interested in meeting Ingrid can visit the PHS/SPCA shelter at 1450 Rollins Road, Burlingame or call at 650-340-7022.

  • Health,Animal Rights,And Ecology
    Health,Animal Rights,and Ecology Volume II, No.1, March 1991 ***************************************************************** PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE Aloha friends, As we print this newsletter, our country is engaged in a brutal war in the Persian Gulf. It is hard for me to write something humorous about nuts and berries or tofu at such a time, so I would instead like to reprint an article written by my friend Mary Rogers, President of the Sacramento Vegetarian Society. I have made only a few minor changes in the wording. "Eating Our Way to War?" "If everyone in the U.S. were vegetarian, could we have avoided going to war in the Persian Gulf? Probably not, but absurd as it may sound on the surface, there is a connection, and it's a very simple one: animal agriculture is extremely inefficient and uses a substantial portion of our energy resources. "Cornell University economists David Fields and Robin Hur are quoted by John Robbins in Diet for a New America: 'A nationwide switch to a diet emphasizing whole grains, fresh fruits and vegetables ­ plus limits on export of nonessential fatty foods ­ would save enough money to cut our imported oil requirements by over 60 percent.' "Robbins also quotes Frances Moore Lappé, author of Diet for a Small Planet, who reports that 'the value of raw materials consumed to produce food from livestock is greater than the value of all oil, gas, and coal consumed in this country.' "American agriculture has become extremely energy intensive; it consumes more fossil fuel energy than it gives back in food energy, as Keith Akers states in A Vegetarian Sourcebook.
