 IXTAPA - PEACEAnimals visits this large municipality of Puerto Vallarta approximately four times annually because of the very high numbers of unsterilized cats and dogs. Wednesday was market day with rows of used clothing and fresh fruit and plant stands. It was also the day of someone´s funeral. A garland of white and yellow daises hung over the entrance of the church at the plaza. Inside, a singer with guitar sang a sweet, mournful song.  The clinic almost always takes place in the local government building across from the main plaza. If you have looked at our website lately, our home page photo plus a few others were taken there at the Ixtapa location by excellent and popular photographer, Josef Kandoll. www.peaceanimals.org
Lara Frankel, a fourth year vet school student in England, was at the Ixtapa clinic every day this past week. She was carefully supervised putting in sutures and her work was perfect. Lara sent me the following message: "I had such an amazing experience working with the talented and passionate team of PEACEAnimals.
There are always thin and emaciated dogs and animals brought in by their owners. We would like to be able to give a couple of cups of kibble to all owners of underfed dogs so they have a small boost after surgery. Please consider donating kibble to our clinics.

| DONDE HABÍA UNA PLAYA (CON BASTANTE BASURA) YA REGRESÓ EL RÍO CUALE DESPUÉS DE LA LLUVIA EL PRIMER DÍA DEL AÑO.. RÍO CUALE HAS COVERED ALMOST THE ENTIRE SANDY BEACH AT THE BRIDGE. |
Weather has been unseasonably cool the first week of January, with morning temperatures in the high 50´s. In December, the beach next to the Cuale river was gradually returning after having disappeared completely due to torrential rains in October. On New Year´s Day, a 24-hour heavy rainfall caused the beach to disappear again.
Sky lanterns, also known as "Chinese lanterns" and made in China and Thailand, started a fire at a Germany zoo the first few minutes of 2020, killing at least 30 animals housed in its Great Ape House. It was the same New Year´s Eve that we were watching fireworks bursting and sky lanterns burning over Banderas Bay. It was a beautiful sight.

Fireworks are thrilling, but the noise can terrorize pets and livestock. Fireworks cause extensive air pollution, depositing metal particles, toxins, chemicals and smoke into the air. Some toxins, which end up not only on land, but in bodies of water, never completely disintegrate or decompose.
