MISSISSIPPI STATE UNIVERSITY RECEIVES $500,000 TO EUTHANIZE LESS ANIMALS
Marcia Lane, animal welfare enthusiast and philanthropist, made the endowment to decrease the number of animals euthanized in the county. She says it makes her happy to know many animals will be helped by her donation.

The endowment will allow a professor to coordinate a spay and neuter clinic as well as lecture students on the ethics of humane treatment toward animals.

Dr. Kent Hoblet, veterinary college dean, says students will be actively going into the community, providing them hands-on experience.

Panorama
Clean Hands Save Horses - adapted to the WHO´s Clean Hands Save Lives initiative Even before the discovery of germs, the practice of hand hygiene had revealed itself as a crucial element in the fight against infectious diseases. In fact, supported by the historical discoveries and more recent evidence based data, the World Health Organization considers hand hygiene as the pillar of infection control, particularly when related to nosocomial infections. Therefore, the World Health Organization has a strong focus on “Clean Hands Save Lives” campaigns, a principle that is easily translatable into “Clean Hands Save Horses”.
