As a retired Arizona educator, serving 35 years, I am appalled by the demolition of our public schools.
Recently Rep. Amish Shah, M.D., authored bill HB2224 to ban declawing cats in Arizona. Some people are unaware of the harm this barbaric practice does to cats, so unfortunately this bill is desperately needed. Many don’t realize that declawing is amputation of the knuckles of cat’s paws which often causes residual pain, resulting in litter box issues. Declawed cats are also more likely to bite, as their other form of defense is removed.
A letter writer expressed concern about the impact these changes would have on local “wildlife and rural communities.” The letter writer states what the Republican Party stands for. He includes,"equal opportunity and the free pursuit of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." Maybe so, unless you happen to be a woman. It seems to me the Republican War on Women goes on unabated, especially in Arizona.Protect democracy in Ukraine and MoldovaPutinism and Stalinism are threatening places I hold dear to my heart. I’m weeping for my family and friends in Moldova and Ukraine.
