New Mexico Dog Controversy Explained

A New Mexico dog at the center of a New World Screwworm scare may not have crossed into Mexico after all—new info suggests it only left for vet care, possibly confused with “Old Mexico” vs. “New Mexico.” Conflicting statements from state and federal officials initially muddied the travel details, with USDA shifting the case from Texas after confirming the dog lived in Lea County. Officials now focus on containment with a 12-mile monitoring zone around the dog’s location, requiring animal checks and treatments before movement. USDA insists this remains an isolated incident—no panic, just stay alert. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
