VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. - Authorities removed
nearly 200 animals from a Virginia Beach home, including 89 frozen
ferret carcasses. Police spokeswoman Margie Long said animal control
agents found more than 100 live ferrets, a dog, a bird and three
cats, most of them suffering from dehydration and malnutrition.
Long said the frozen bodies of 89 ferrets, a cat, a rat and an otter
were discovered in freezers in the house and garage.
Sixty-one of the live ferrets had to be euthanized because of poor

ALABAMA VETERINARY
MEDICAL FOUNDATION RECEIVES APPROVAL
TO BEGIN PLACING ORDERS FOR SPECIAL LICENSE PLATE
Pre-Order your
Spay/Neuter License Plate
The Alabama Veterinary
Medical Foundation (ALVMF) has received approval from the Alabama
Department of Revenue for individuals to begin placing orders for
the Spay-Neuter license plate. The cost of the tag is the standard
$50 like other specialized tags, with $41.25 of each sale going to
the Foundation to assist low-income families with the cost of
spaying and neutering their pets. One thousand tags must be
pre-sold within 12 months in order for the program to be
implemented. The 12 month period begins November 1, 2007.
The Alabama Veterinary Medical Association and the ALVMF encourage
all Alabama residents to consider purchasing one of these special
plates in support of the ongoing spay/neuter efforts. Alabama
residents, currently on Medicaid, will be able to have their pet
spayed or neutered with funds collected from the sale of these
license plates.
Supporters who wish to purchase a Spay-Neuter license plate may
visit their local county license plate issuing official’s office,
complete a “Commitment to Purchase” application, and pay the
additional $50 fee. You will continue to use your current license
plate until the Spay-Neuter plate is produced (after 1000 have been
pre-sold). The Foundation will notify you after the plates are
produced and are available in the county license plate offices. To
receive the Spay-Neuter plate, you then go to the license office
where the original application was completed, present the original
“Commitment to Purchase” and the receipt for $50, along with your
current standard license plate. Please note: you must have these two
original documents to receive the plate.
The Alabama Veterinary Medical Foundation appreciates your support
of this program benefiting spay/neuter efforts in the state of
Alabama.

carrying her out of the house into her front yard, while he
continued to fight the fire.
She is pregnant.
When he finally got done putting the fire out, he sat down to catch
his breath and rest.
A photographer from the Charlotte , North Carolina newspaper, "The
Observer," noticed her in the distance looking at the fireman.
He saw her walking straight toward the fireman and wondered what she
was going to do.
As he raised his camera, she came up to the tired man who had saved
her life and the lives of her babies, and kissed him,just as the
photographer snapped this photograph.

And some people say animals are dumb.
Attitude and Perception
are everything.
Be kinder, more caring and patient than necessary. Everyone you meet
is fighting some kind of battle.
Life may not be the party we hoped for, but while we're here we
might as well dance!
What you accept, you teach.
