Putting money toward racism-as-a-public-health-crisis declarations is an important way for governments to show they’re committed to implementing the steps, Mendez said. But money was a rarity in her review of 125 declarations that had been adopted by the end of September 2020.

A veterinarian at an emergency equine hospital gave the horse 50-50 odds of surviving.“She just had no chance, getting left locked in a stall and her owners evacuating and just leaving them all there,” Bagan said.

But some horse owners were ready.When Meredith McKenzie got a notice days before of the heightened fire risk, she asked people at her barn to help evacuate her horse so she could focus on caring for her sister who has Alzheimer’s.“Horse people are not stupid about if there’s fire coming. We’re out before it starts because once that smoke happens, the horses go nuts and go crazy,” McKenzie said. “It’s very hard to corral them because they just want to run.”

The ranch where she kept her horses, the historic Bob Williams Ranch on Cheney Trail, burned, she said. McKenzie lost her equipment but another ranch has said they’ll give her a saddle and bridle.Suzanne Cassel evacuated Tuesday from Topanga with her two horses, a donkey named Oscar Nelson, four dogs and two cats. They rushed to nab a spot at a large animal emergency shelter at Pierce College, a community college in Woodlands Hills.

Her horses are together in the shelter, while the dogs and cats are staying in the horse trailer. Her donkey, though, was feeling down in a stall by himself.

“He’s lonely, so I just went inside and sat in the stall with him for half an hour, and he liked that because nobody likes to be alone when you’re a herd animal,” she said.For her, like for Vergara, preserving axolotl is not an end, but a means for saving the place where the amphibian came to be.

“This great system (chinampas) is all that’s left from the lake city of Mexico-Tenochtitlan, so I always tell our visitors that Xochimilco is a living archeological zone,” Cruz said. “If we, as citizens, don’t take care of what’s ours, it will be lost.”A figure of an axolotl sits on display at a museum in Xochimilco Ecological Park, in Mexico City, Tuesday, Feb. 11, 2025.
