The entire HPA staff would like to welcome our newest staff member, Adam Zackariah. Although he’s new to the staff, he’s got the HPA in his blood. You see, he’s only slightly over 24 hours old! His mom, Rachel, is on staff as a bit of a fundraising guru. She’s in charge of keeping us all focused on acknowledging our donors. She is also a Co-Chapter Organizer in the Atlanta area.

So, Rachel, on behalf of the entire staff, I want to wish you congratulations. May the lives of all in your family be filled with love, light, and fun!

After the US Wizard Rocked the Vote Massachusetts voted to ban greyhound dog racing that abuses dogs and causes the unneeded deaths of countless rabbits. California voted to make it mandatory that caged animals are given enough room not to live their lives under a situation of torture. They will now have enough room to move.

In essence, this was a big week for Care of Magical Creatures!

Hagrid would be proud!
