## Resource

Vermont’s on high alert as New World screwworm, a deadly fly outbreak in Texas, looms — even though it hasn’t reached us yet. State officials have slashed animal import testing windows from 30 to just 5 days and are focusing on dogs and cats moving north from Texas shelters. With no clear count of incoming pets, a new free registration law for rescues is now critical — giving authorities real-time tracking power to stop potential outbreaks before they explode.
