Yeah, there's even more heartache for all of the not-so-perfectly-bred animals who die in animal shelters because people buy animals from breeders. Personally, I don't think that breeding of cats and dogs should be allowed until there are no unwanted animals in shelters.
I read recently that Amazon.com's gift certificates are issued out of a separate division, which operates out of Idaho becuase of that state's favorable lack of escheat laws. Of course, I can't find where this was discussed, but I found this page, which mentions the Idaho laws.
"Careful legal planning can potentially reduce the risk of gift certificates becoming abandoned property. Incorporating the issuer of the gift certificate in a state that exempts gift certificates from its escheat can reduce liability since the state of incorporation is often the relevant state or determining escheat liability...Under Idaho law, gift certificates with an expiration date prominently displayed on their face will not be deemed abandoned."
Amazon.com states here that "Amazon.com gift certificates are issued and sold by A2Z Gift Certificates, Inc., an Idaho corporation. The risk of loss and title for gift certificates pass to the purchaser upon our electronic transmission to the recipient or delivery to the carrier, whichever is applicable."
Ooooh, lots of freeze-dried ice cream! I volunteered at the Science Museum of Virginia for a while when I was a teenager, and I loved the proximity to astronaut ice cream. And quartz crystals and little geodes. LOL
Clearly, we need to issue a warning to all customs officers that if anyone comes through with packages containing strange rocks, they should *under no condition* break that rock apart. If I end up with worms in my eyes, I'm blaming the government.;)
