ACS Asks for Rule Change to Keep Pets Healthy
By: Fox S.A. Staff
The City of San Antonio Animal Care Services wants to change the rules to help keep pets in its care healthy.
The state recently said ACS must wait at least three days before giving stray animals who come in any kind of vaccination.
On Tuesday ACS leaders proposed a change to a city committee that would give the agency custody of the animals the moment they come in to shelters.
The move is mostly a legal distinction that allows ACS give out shots and other care.
ACS says the change is necessary because 31, 000 stray animals come in to their shelters every year.
The plan must still go before the city council.

Billie Sol Estes to be remembered at funeral
May 18, 2013 10:18 GMT
GRANBURY, Texas (AP) -- Family and friends are set to remember flamboyant swindler Billie Sol Estes, a man whose name was synonymous with Texas-sized schemes, greed and corruption.
The funeral for Estes is set for Saturday afternoon in Granbury, located about 40 miles southwest of Fort Worth. Estes died in his sleep Tuesday at the age of 88.
He became one of the most notorious men in America in 1962, when he was accused of looting a federal crop subsidy program. But he reigned as the state's king of con men for nearly 50 years.
Estes was best known for the scandal that broke out during President John F. Kennedy's administration involving phony financial statements and non-existent fertilizer tanks. Several lower-level agriculture officials resigned and Estes wound up spending several years in prison.
