1281. Helping Pet Owners Afford Life-Saving Procedures - Alison Eastwood Talks Chimps

The daughter of Clint Eastwood, Alison Eastwood, is back for more fun! She’s crowd-funding to raise money for Chimp Haven, the home of 110 research chimps purposely infected with HIV and Hep C. Also, our Hero Person this week created the Brown Dog Foundation to help pet owners afford life-saving surgeries and procedures for their pets. Also, the 501c3 APPA (American Pet Products Association) is riding high on its viral Pets Add Life campaign. APPA President Bob Vetere says teaching compassion for animals in the classroom creates adults who respect and love pets and people. Also, if you plan to take your pet to Hawaii, you might want to rethink your strategy. A dog that was put in the mandatory 120-day quarantine suffered heat stroke. Now, the owner is demanding an investigation of the quarantine center. Also, would you use a shock collar on your dog?
That question is getting lots of interest lately. Researchers suggest that collars can cause physical and emotional harm to dogs.
