In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

Since many shelters aren’t doing adoptions right now, she said, it’s important for pet owners to make contingency plans to ensure their pets are kept out of the shelter system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=\"science_1959951\" label=\"Pets and the Coronavirus\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Not having any animals that don’t absolutely have to come into a shelter is the highest priority, because once they come into a shelter right now, we can’t get them out, really,” Scarlett said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now is the time, she said, to call friends and family to figure out where your pet will go in case you get sick and need to immediately go to the hospital.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This not only takes the burden off animal shelters, it also allows pet owners to seek care when they need it. Scarlett said past disasters have shown people sometimes delay making decisions for themselves because they don’t know what will happen to their pets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Think about that now. Have it in place, so that if you need to make the decision to go into the hospital, you know your pets are going to be cared for,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003ca id=\"donate\">\u003c/a>Donate to Local Shelters\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Many shelters that have had to temporarily close, or are open by appointment only, have posted donation wish lists online.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We need plenty of things that will keep us going long into this crisis,” Scarlett said. “We don’t know how long it’s going to last.

Ever since, I’ve been on an unplanned digital detox. I’ve learned that there are things other than Spotify’s \u003cem>Your Top Songs 2019\u003c/em> that are interesting to listen to while walking around. Among them: the different bird calls that vary from place to place. It all kind of happened by accident, but yep, I’m a birder now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What amazed and humbled me about bird-watching was the way it changed the granularity of my perception, which had been pretty ‘low-res,’” writes \u003ca href=\"https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/600671/how-to-do-nothing-by-jenny-odell/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">“How To Do Nothing”\u003c/a> author Jenny Odell.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I can’t say that I’m experiencing “high-def” perception quite yet, but I’m hoping to get there someday.

And if you’re really not having any luck, try pishing – making noises that small, curious birds will come out to investigate.

Ever since, I’ve been on an unplanned digital detox. I’ve learned that there are things other than Spotify’s \u003cem>Your Top Songs 2019\u003c/em> that are interesting to listen to while walking around.

And if you’re really not having any luck, try pishing – making noises that small, curious birds will come out to investigate. To do it, you can blow air through your teeth or kiss the back of your hand.\u003cbr>\n\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>Gov. Gavin Newsom wants to make California a “no kill” state for shelter animals — and experts say a new budget proposal has the teeth to save the thousands of animals euthanized in the state every year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“California has had a policy for 20 years that it’s the preference of the state that no healthy, treatable animal be euthanized. So that part is not new,” said Dr. Kate Hurley, director of the Koret Shelter Medicine Program at UC Davis. “But what is new and just incredible is the governor investing state funds to make that a reality.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"https://www.sheltermedicine.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Koret Program\u003c/a> has been working on animal welfare issues for almost two decades. In presenting his \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11795344/newsom-zeroes-in-on-education-gaps-homelessness-and-wildfires-in-state-budget\">new state budget proposal\u003c/a> on Friday, Newsom said he wants a one-time $50 million general fund allocation to help Koret develop a grant program for animal shelters statewide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/CAgovernor/status/1215781229804417024\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hurley said an estimated 100,000 animals are euthanized each year in California. But, she said, since the state committed to becoming “no kill,” there has been a considerable drop in euthanizations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In 1998, it was estimated that more than half a million animals were euthanized. So we made some headway. We really have,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If the \u003ca href=\"http://www.ebudget.ca.gov/2020-21/pdf/BudgetSummary/FullBudgetSummary.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">budget item\u003c/a> is approved, the intent is for the Koret Program to work with local shelters over the next five years to provide needed spay and neuter services. The program would also support pet owners struggling to care for their animals and help ensure that facilities that serve animals are safe and physically sound, among other efforts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Dr. Kate Hurley, Koret Shelter Medicine Program\"]‘I think it really matters how we treat the animals that have the least in the communities that have the least in this state that has so much.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hurley pointed out that, as in so many other aspects of life in California, the euthanization issue reflects resource gaps across the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What underpins euthanization at shelters … is when people and communities are struggling to take care of their animals and to take care of themselves and each other,” Hurley said. “And so that’s what has made it so difficult, is that in the very communities where the need is greatest, there’s also the fewest resources.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2012, Los Angeles committed to becoming a “no kill” city, and in 2017, Mayor Eric Garcetti \u003ca href=\"https://www.lamayor.org/mayor-garcetti-announces-la-has-reached-%E2%80%98no-kill%E2%80%99-dogs-city-animal-shelters\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">announced the city had reached its goal\u003c/a> of 90% of cats and dogs that entered shelters leaving them alive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hurley said this proposal shows that Newsom is ready to extend his commitment to the idea of a California for all to pets as well as humans. “I think it really matters how we treat the animals that have the least in the communities that have the least in this state that has so much,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

Gavin Newsom wants to make California a “no kill” state for shelter animals — and experts say a new budget proposal has the teeth to save the thousands of animals euthanized in the state every year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“California has had a policy for 20 years that it’s the preference of the state that no healthy, treatable animal be euthanized. So that part is not new,” said Dr. Kate Hurley, director of the Koret Shelter Medicine Program at UC Davis. “But what is new and just incredible is the governor investing state funds to make that a reality.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"https://www.sheltermedicine.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Koret Program\u003c/a> has been working on animal welfare issues for almost two decades.

Now, some cities are investing in unconventional fire prevention methods, including goats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Anaheim, a city southeast of Los Angeles, has recently re-upped its contract with the company Environmental Land Management to keep goats grazing on city hillsides nearly year-round.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The goats are stationed in places like Deer Canyon Park, a nature preserve with more than a hundred acres of steep hills. Beginning in July, roughly 400 goats worked through the park, eating invasive grasses and dried brush.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The company’s operations manager Johnny Gonzales says that Deer Canyon, with its peaks and valleys, is just the right kind of place to use goats for fire prevention.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is the topography that poses challenges during these wildfire events,” Gonzales says. “And we can go ahead and reduce the fuel loads and take out the invasive plants, and establish the native plants on these banks; you’re re-establishing the ecology.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gonzales says that demand for wildfire prevention goats has soared in recent years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s not an underestimation to say that we got over 100 calls a month from private individuals with smaller parcels, little lots or things from an acre, two acres requesting the goats,” Gonzales says. “And unfortunately, as a commercial herd, I can’t take on all these private lots.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Nature’s weed wacker\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Anaheim’s Fire Marshall Allen Hogue says the steepness of the hills in parts of the city makes the goats invaluable for landscape management.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It would be almost impossible for a human to sit there or walk up and down with a weed whacker or a weed eater, so that’s why we use the goats,” Hogue says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What makes the goats important isn’t just their ability to climb steep hillsides. According to Hogue and Gonzales, the animals eat invasive plants and grasses while only minimally grazing on native plants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A recent \u003ca href=\"https://www.pnas.org/content/116/47/23594.short\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">study \u003c/a>from the University of Massachusetts Amherst found that these alien grasses are increasing the frequency of wildfires because of how easily they burn.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you throw a bunch of matches into a forest, some small percentage of them might actually start a fire,” says Bethany Bradley, professor of environmental conservation at UMass Amherst and co-author of the study, “but if you throw a bunch of matches into a big hay pile, there’s a good chance that many of those will catch fire.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The study found that these alien grasses double or triple the likelihood of a fire occurring if they’re present.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While this particular study didn’t measure the change in invasive plant abundance, researchers have found that climate change has made it easier for these plants to spread. These flammable grasses outgrow native plants that are naturally more fire-resistant, which adds potential fuel to fires.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>A year-round problem\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Even a particularly rainy year doesn’t help slow down a fire season. Bradley says that water helps these invasive plants grow year after year. There’s no easy fix for breaking the invasive plant cycle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So this is one of the biggest challenges with invasive species,” Bradley says. “Like any home gardener knows that you can’t just go out and weed once, declare victory and leave, right?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is where goats can play a role, according to Bradley.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Goats are really good at eating stuff, right? The challenge with them though, is that you can’t just do it once. They need to go back time and time again in order to keep controlling that biomass,” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, not all researchers are convinced. Some like Jon Keeley from the U.S. Geological Survey think that using goats alone as fire prevention isn’t enough.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“One of the things that concerns some people is there is this feeling oftentimes that if you’re using goats to graze these invasive grasses, you’re somehow making the environment safer for communities and for homes,” Keeley says. “And that’s debatable.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag='wildfires' label='Related Coverage']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He says that goats will eat grasses and keep the invasive plants down, but he says that the goats don’t go everywhere they’re needed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The problem is those grasses are going to spread far beyond areas where you would graze the goats,” Keeley says. “These grasses are all over the Santa Monica Mountains, and so you’re not likely to impact very many areas by goat grazing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Keeley says that grazing also isn’t enough since homes are most commonly lit aflame because of burning embers. Clearing out grasses around a house is useful, but “those embers are going to be blown over these areas that were grazed the goats,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Living in fire-prone areas\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Keeley says wildfires are a people problem. As the state continues to grow in population and the cost of housing rises dramatically, residents are pushed to live in unsafe areas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’ve been forced to move out into landscapes that are very hazardous, and this almost certainly accounts for why these fires have become more destructive in the last couple of decades,” Keeley says. “And the problem is not likely to go away.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While California continues to combat wildfires, the city of Anaheim says the goats are a key part of its fire prevention plans, but they’re just one piece of a large puzzle.

Mainly now, the names come from the residents.
