ANIMAL WATCH-Prior to rescuing animals becoming big business, Los Angeles Animal Services and other municipal sheltering agencies focused on rescuing strays from the streets, investigating reports of cruelty, abandonment, or neglect;
assuring Pit Bulls were not being used for fighting and that animal-care laws were enforced by officers and shelter staff with the best training available. Now the emphasis is on saving every animal regardless of behavior or condition. Shelters became the enemy and emphasis was taken off holding pet owners responsible and placed on clearing the shelters.
This opened the world of rescue as not just as a humane act but as a full-time job.

COLOMBO(News 1st): Issuing a special Media release today, Mass Media Minister Keheliya Rambukwella stated that the Government does not intend to regulate Social Media.
The Minister today stated that the statement that had been quoted previously had misconstrued what he had tried to convey and that it does not elaborate the correct stance of the Government.
He added that the Government does not plan to register individual users, but rather work to prevent large Foreign Corporation from overriding local partners.
Speaking at a press briefing in Colombo, Freddy Gamage, Convener of the Professional Web Journalists Association stated that the Minister is representing the opinion of the Government and is trying to suppress and control social media.
But what does the law mean for business owners and entrepreneurs and when will the changes come into effect? Here is all you need to know.
Hani Naja, Partner Corporate and Commercial at Baker McKenzie Habib Al Mulla, spoke to Gulf News about the new law and the changes that had already been implemented over the years, leading up to the recent announcement.
“The push for a relaxation in foreign direct investment in the UAE started a number of years ago. The first major change was in September 2018, with the issuance of the Foreign Direct Investment Law (FDI Law), which opened up the UAE market to foreign investors in certain sectors of the economy. The FDI law was then followed by the announcement on July 2019 of a Positive List of 122 business activities where foreign investors can own up to 100 per cent of the shares in an onshore company. The Positive List focused on the manufacturing, agricultural and services sectors,” he said.
