New Texas law will close dog, cat breeding loophole

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 16:34:28 GMT

LUBBOCK, Texas — A Texas law to close loopholes for large-scale commercial dog and cat breeding operations takes effect Sept. 1.Current law defines a dog or cat breeder as someone who possesses 11 or more adult unspayed females and sells 20 or more puppies or kittens in a calendar year. However, this poses a few problems.One problem is that 10 adult female dogs can give birth to up to 120 puppies per year, according to the Animal Legal Defense Fund (ALDF).Another problem is the increased potential for untraceable cash transactions, which then lead to large-scale breeding operations that lack proper regulation or oversight.Governor Greg Abbott signed Senate Bill 876 into law on May 29. The law will require dog or cat breeders with five or more adult unspayed females to obtain a license to operate under the Texas Occupations Code.Breeding dogs and cats will be considered a profession, so Texas breeders will be held to a higher standard.Steven Greene, director of operations at Lubbock ...

Other voices: Tough on crime should not mean inhumane U.S. prison conditions

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 16:34:28 GMT

CHICAGO — At the Waupun Correctional Institution, a maximum security Wisconsin penitentiary located about three hours northwest of Chicago, some 1,000 prisoners have been confined mostly to their cells for more than four months. In an extensive Aug. 19 report on the horrendous conditions, The New York Times alleged “walls speckled with feces and blood,” birds flying around cells, an absence of toilet paper, the cancellation of any and all visits with family and no meaningful time whatsoever in the fresh air.Officials argued that staff shortages and threats of significant disorder and disruption at the prison had forced their hand — but that is no excuse for such inhumane official treatments of human beings over so long a spell. Whatever their offense. Governmental inability to recruit staff should not mean worse conditions for inmates, and the situation at Waupun sounds like it borders on cruel and unusual punishment.Waupun is hardly alone.

Working Strategies: Reeling ’em in with your résumé headline

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 16:34:28 GMT

Amy LindgrenOne of the least-optimized sections of a résumé can be the very precious real estate near the top of the page. Not only do candidates sometimes “rattle on” with five or eight lines devoted to their contact information, but then they often jump directly into their last job or training experience, entirely without preamble.That’s like walking into a room full of strangers and starting a conversation mid-sentence. Without context or introduction, no one knows what you’re talking about or even why you’re there.Luckily, there are several introductory sections you can use to welcome the reader to your document while also directing attention to key points in your experience. Professional profiles, career objectives and bulleted skills sections all fall into this category.For the best impact and greatest flexibility for future revisions, choose any or all of the sections named above. Then, add a headline to provide the context and introduction all in one.The options are endless,...
