The Beaufort County Sheriff's Office in North Carolina received a generous donation from Vested Interest in K9s, Inc., a non-profit organization that provides bulletproof vests to law enforcement dogs. K9 Tinnus was fitted with a vest that is U.S. made and certified, a potentially lifesaving resource for these four-legged officers. The organization has donated over 5,700 vests to K9s across the country and accepts tax-deductible donations to continue their mission.
The death of MM Lawrence, a veteran Communist and trade unionist, has sparked a legal battle between his daughter and other family members over his wish to donate his body for medical research. The case has brought to the forefront the complexities that arise when religious and family sentiments clash with personal end-of-life choices. The Kerala Yuktvadi Sangham and AT Kovoor Trust are fighting to protect the rights of individuals over their dead bodies, as they face challenges in enforcing the existing Kerala Anatomy Act.
