It seemed like men with guns couldn’t get any weirder. They did. And the strangeness continues. Continue reading
• The nonprofit Community Veterinary Center on Hwy 99 in Eugene provides low-cost veterinary services for 1,500 animals each year whose families are low-income. The clinic, which opened in 2012, mainly focuses on animals in Lane County.
