SAN FRANCISCO – Following a detailed comparative analysis of the animal protection laws of each state in the country, the Animal Legal Defense Fund (ALDF) has released a new report ranking all fifty states, the District of Columbia, Guam, Puerto Rico, and other U.S. territories for the general comprehensiveness and relative strength of their respective animal protection laws— and thanks to recent improvements in its laws for animals, Guam moved up 18 spots to 34^th in the nation.

Gift kids with an experience instead of materials

Think of what you remember most of your childhood. What do you remember most about Christmas as a child?

Do you remember times spent with your family? Do you remember one specific present as the most wonderful gift in the entire world? Do you remember getting gifts that you know you would never want or use?

The holiday season inspires us to give. Giving is a great thing, but we all need to keep the Layon Landfill in mind while Christmas shopping. Some gifts may eventually be taking up space in the landfill. Other gifts can keep things out of the landfill.
