I applaud the Stanislaus County Grand Jury for their recommendation of a needle exchange program in our community as a means of stemming the tide of infectious disease throughout our entire community.

Saturday, July 26th 2008, the non-profit organization, the Stanislaus County Animal Services Auxiliary held a Mobile Spay & Neuter Clinic from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday in the airport neighborhood. The operations were offered at $5, and rabies shots at $2 for those that could provide proof of public assistance or poverty.

Stanislaus County is the third worse for Latino infant mortality of the fifty-eight counties that comprise the state of California.

If this is news to you, you are not alone. Most people are unaware of this horrible fact, and when they are made aware, they don’t seem to care very much at all. But, I believe they really do care and I believe you, especially do.
