Dog's aren't just our best friends, they're also good for our health, new research suggests.A study published Friday in the journal Mayo Clinic Proceedings says that owning a pet, especially a dog, may help maintain a healthy heart -- in case you needed any more reason to head to your local animal shelter.The study began in 2013 and 2014, when researchers gathered health and socioeconomic information on over 2,000 people in Brno, Czech Republic, and scheduled follow-up evaluations for every five years until 2030.The latest was this year, in 2019, when researchers again looked at about 2,000 people with no history of heart disease. They scored the participants on the American Heart Association's list of seven ideal health behaviors and factors, also known as "Life's Simple 7": body mass index, diet, physical activity, smoking status, blood pressure, blood glucose and total cholesterol.The researchers compared the cardiovascular health scores of pet owners with those of petless people. In general, people who owned a pet were more physically active than those who did not, with healthier diets and blood sugar levels.But then they compared dog owners with everyone else and found that no matter their age, sex or education level, they benefited the most in terms of cardiovascular health.Take that, cat people.The findings are consistent with research that has shown that dog ownership leads to more physical activity. Meanwhile, pet ownership in general reduces stress, betters our self-esteem and makes us more social.Francisco Lopez-Jimenez, one of the lead researchers on the team, said what makes this study so significant is that it showed the benefits of having a dog go beyond just increased physical activity. The study included many factors that determined the health of the heart and arteries, like showing that dog-owners tend to also have a healthier diet than other pet-owners -- thus contributing to a better cardiovascular health.It's "putting everything together and not just focused on a single factor," he told CNN.But he also pointed out that the results may be skewed, simply because so many people own dogs. Of the 42 percent of subjects that owned any type of pet, 24 percent were owned dogs. 2240

DETROIT — WXYZ received disturbing new undercover video showing dogs at an animal testing lab in Michigan.The Humane Society of the United States says the footage shows dogs getting doses of pesticides and drugs. According to the group, its investigation found beagles and hounds suffering and dying.The video was supposedly shot at the Charles River Lab in Mattawan, Michigan, between April and August 2018.Experiments were carried out on behalf of three companies, including Dow Chemical, which is based in Midland, Michigan, according to the Humane Society.The organization is demanding that the testing stop and the dogs be released.The Dow Chemical company responded to the report Tuesday. The company said it is required to test pesticides and fungicides on dogs to make sure they aren't too toxic.The HSUS investigation at the Charles River Lab found some dogs had their jaws surgically broken to test dental implants. Others had drug pumps inserted beneath their skin.Currently, the focus is on 36 beagles being force-fed toxic chemicals sometimes up to four times a day for almost a year."We need to get out of this cycle of using dogs just because we have always used them," said Kathleen Conlee, vice president of animal research issues at the Humane Society of the United States.HSUS investigators went undercover at Charles River Lab for nearly 100 days in spring and summer of 2018."I don't think everyone in there is an uncaring person. I've been there myself but hopefully someday they will see the light and join us in trying to end abuse of animals like this," Conlee said.Companies pay the lab to carry out their product testing on animals. That includes Michigan-based Dow Chemical. The company contracted the lab to use 36 beagles for a year-long test on the toxicity of a new fungicide. The program started in summer 2018 and will be completed in July 2019."These dogs were getting force-fed pesticides every day for a one-year long pesticide test that is widely considered unnecessary. These animals are still alive today but will be killed in July," said Conlee.U.S. law only requires a 90-day test to get new pesticides approved. However, Dow said that Brazil requires a year of testing, hence the long test underway in Michigan.HSUS said that's not the only way dogs suffer at Charles River Lab. Its undercover operatives said dogs had their chest cavities opened up to see how that area tolerated having drugs pumped in. Others had invasive surgeries to test an amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS, drug. The Humane Society said the long-term results don't justify the cruelty."Over 90 percent of drugs that show promising results in animals ultimately fail in humans. We want to see better tests that are relevant to humans," Conlee said.Dow's full statement on the testing can be read below: 2865

Children's museums around the country are speaking out against inhumane treatment of migrant children in US detention centers.Following a call to action from the Association of Children's Museums, museums in Indiana, New York, Massachusetts and other states have pressed for more humane treatment of immigrant children and urgent action from politicians."Through forced separations and inhumane treatment in overcrowded, unsanitary facilities, the United States is denying children their basic human rights," said the Association of Children's Museums, which represents museums in all 50 states and 19 countries."What really drives children's museums is a deep passion around making the world a better place for children," ACM Executive Director Laura Huerta Migus told CNN.She added that ACM got involved because of concerns from member museums and because poor treatment of young migrants is an issue that threatens the well-being of children and causes trauma.The association also called for a more permanent policy effort to ensure that inhumane treatment of immigrant and refugee families does not continue in the future.The Children's Museum of Indianapolis echoed the call for better treatment, posting on Facebook, "We stand with our colleagues in the children's museum field in our belief that all children are valued citizens."Neighborhood North Museum of Play in Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania, and Kidzu Children's Museum in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, shared the statement and added that they "hold inclusivity and equity as core values."The concerns about the treatment of migrant children follow recent reports of unsanitary conditions and overcrowding at several US Customs and Border Protection facilities in Texas. CNN reported that a team of lawyers, doctors and advocates found what they called major health and hygiene problems at detention facilities, including a lack of soap, limited access to showers and a shortage of beds.The children's museums' outcries are not the first time the museum sector has gotten involved in issues surrounding migrant detention facilities. Earlier this week, the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History inquired about obtaining disturbing drawings by migrant children that depict figures with sad faces behind bars.The American history museum told CNN it hopes to preserve drawings made by three children recently released from US Customs and Border Patrol custody in McAllen, Texas, as part of an effort to document history as it unfolds.Acting Homeland Security Secretary Kevin McAleenan said Sunday that 350 migrant children remain in US Customs and Border Protection custody -- down from 2,500 last month. 2684

Do you know what to do during an earthquake? Unlike tornadoes or hurricanes, earthquakes don't come with warnings. Surviving a major earthquake involves making split-second decisions. That is why experts suggest having a plan for earthquakes before the shaking begins. While it was once suggested that standing in a door jamb was a safe place to go, it is no longer suggested to stand in a door jamb. Not only could a door swing back and forth causing injury, but exterior features could fall along the exterior wall, the University of Washington says. If you are inside, you should not go outside, the USGS suggests. So what do you do if you're outside? Stay there.Should: If inside, take cover under something sturdyShouldn't: Take cover inside a door jambShould: If outside, stay outsideShouldn't: Run outside during an earthquakeShould: If driving, carefully come to a stopShouldn't: Expect any warning before an earthquake strikesThe best place to be is inside a well-made structure, taking cover under something sturdy, Susan Garcia of the USGS said. A person outdoors unable to get inside should get away from things that could fall, including power lines and trees.Garcia also suggests securing belongings stored on shelves as a way to take precautions during an earthquake. “Secure your space,” Garcia said. “Move heavier items like potted plants, to lower the floor or lower shelves, move things that can fall on your or away from you."These rules don't just apply to those on the West Coast, but in the Midwest and East Coast as well. While powerful earthquakes are more common in places like Alaska and California, parts of the Eastern US are just as vulnerable. Although the Eastern United States has not had any major earthquakes in the last century, two of America’s most powerful quakes have happened east of the Rockies. The magnitude 5.8 earthquake that caused damage to the Washington Monument in 2011 is only a minor example of the kind of earthquakes the Eastern United States could see.In 1811 and 1812, a series of earthquakes struck the Mississippi River valley along the New Madrid fault. The strongest of the quakes was a possible magnitude 7.8. The quake was felt across much of the Eastern United States.In 1866, a magnitude 7.0 rattled Charleston, S.C.Adding to the risk, building codes in the Eastern United States aren't written with earthquakes in mind. U.S. Army estimates suggest a repeat of the magnitude 7.8 could kill thousands. For more information what you should do and shouldn't do during an earthquake, click 2563
