We discuss the US Fish and Wildlife Service’s egregious proposal to remove endangered species protections for gray wolves across the United States. Meanwhile, grade school kids across the country are raising awareness about the need to protect endangered species. AWI announces grant opportunities to develop and test innovative methods to improve the welfare of animals in research through refinements in care, husbandry, and housing.

Scientific studies agree: Companion animals contribute to our emotional well-being and physical health. In turn, we do our best to keep them happy and healthy, and to help them experience a long and full life. Eventually, though, the march of time can bring on infirmity, and an ebbing in quality of their life for our beloved friends. When that time comes, it is more important than ever to do what we can to ease their burden and not prolong suffering. Read more about how best to care for aged and ailing pets.
