Callous owner WAVES at confused elderly dog while dumping him in crate outside Arizona animal shelter
A callous Arizona man waved at a his elderly dog as he abandoned him in a crate outside an animal shelter in the sweltering heat. The reckless owner dumped the defenseless animal the gate of Pinal County Animal Care and Control in Casa Grande. The elderly dog sat inside the crate for two hours in 85-degree heat with no water, the shelter said. Heartbreaking video shows the moment the pooch, named 'Little Dude' by the shelter, was ditched outside the gate. The man then waved to the camera before taking off in his car. He was seen wearing a white shirt, shorts, and sunglasses. 'He didn't call. He didn't make a surrender appointment. He didn't even walk inside and speak to a staff member,' the shelter wrote in a fuming Facebook post. 'Instead, he chose the one option that endangers an animal.' The animal was eventually found and brought inside the air-conditioned facility before overheating. 'If you are ever in a situation where you can't keep your pet please do the right thing and call or email us,' the shelter said. 'Don't. Be. This. Guy.' Little Dude is staying with a foster family, who specialize in caring for elderly dogs, AZ Family reported. Little Dude is partially blind and hard of hearing, but overall in good health. 'It just frustrates us because if you just ask us to help you, we will,' shelter director, Audra Michael, told the outlet. Pinal County's shelter is currently full and has a waitlist to surrender animals there. Appointments are required and a fee between $25 and $100 will be issued at drop off. 'We highly encourage owners to rehome their pets on their own and choose new owners for their pets,' its website read. 'It just frustrates us because if you just ask us to help you, we will,' shelter director, Audra Michael (pictured), said. Pinal County's shelter is currently full and has a waitlist to surrender animals If a person is returning the animal back to the shelter after adopting it, it will cost $100. For animals not from the shelter, there is a $25 fee. The shelter also only accepts animals from Pinal County.

(TSX:ASCU | OTCQX:ASCUF) ('ASCU' or the 'Company'), an emerging U.S. copper developer, is pleased to announce that its subsidiaries have exercised their rights to buy-down 0.64% of certain net smelter returns royalties on the Cactus Project (collectively, the 'NSRs'; see FIGURE 1, outlined in yellow), ahead of the applicable July 10, 2025 exercise notice expiry dates. Total cash payments of US$8.91 million will be made to RG Royalties LLC, a subsidiary of Royal Gold Inc. (RLGD:NASDAQ) and Elemental Altus Royalties Corp. (ELE:TSXV), to reduce the aggregate percentage of the NSRs from 3.18% to a remaining 2.54% (collectively, the 'Buy-downs'). The Buy-downs are expected to close on or about August 12 th, 2025. Article content Our team remains focused on the critical workstreams needed to position the Cactus Project as a lower risk, top-tier copper development project and among the best-positioned in North America to deliver copper cathode production. Article content The Buy-downs continue the Company's royalty reduction strategy as it continues to optimize Project economics in advance of the Pre-Feasibility Study ('PFS') scheduled for completion later this year. The remaining 2.54% NSR applies to the Cactus West and Cactus East deposits as well as a portion of the Parks/Salyer deposit, outlined in yellow in FIGURE 1. In early Q2 2025, the Company's subsidiary had two historic ASARCO royalties (Nolles/Wagoner; each 5%) vacated by final judicial order.

Lucid's strategy to strengthen supply chain means using fewer parts
This story was originally published on Automotive Dive. To receive daily news and insights, subscribe to our free daily Automotive Dive newsletter. NOVI, MICHIGAN — The key to building supply chain resilience may be as simple as using fewer parts to build a finished product, according to Lucid Motors VP of Engineering James Hawkins. 'Doing more with less is efficiency,' Hawkins said during a presentation at AutoTech 2025. 'Doing more with less is at the heart of sustainability and at the heart of resilience.' When designers and engineers were in the initial stages of creating Lucid's first battery electric vehicles, the company considered the needs of potential buyers, including performance, range and passenger comfort. The challenge wasn't determining what had to go, but how to deliver everything, Hawkins said. These traits set the baseline for designing vehicles that not only met perceived consumer expectations, but could also be produced domestically with minimal dependence on components made overseas. An initial step was to construct a 1 million square-foot factory in Casa Grande, Arizona, in 2021, Hawkins said. The plant has since expanded and now boasts 3.9 million square feet of production space, where the company stamps its own body panels and builds vehicles. With production capacity ensured, the company's next focus was securing domestic suppliers. The EV maker recently inked a battery materials deal with Graphite One. It will also procure U.S.-made batteries from Panasonic, Hawkins said. The volatility in the global marketplace, fueled by the Trump administration's tsunami of tariffs, has prioritized domestic sourcing at Lucid. 'The automotive industry has felt an intense and acute vulnerability just this year,' Hawkins said. 'Our response is actually a continuation of our existing strategy, and that is forging partnerships with our supply base for long-term domestic supply, wherever it strategically makes sense.' While Hawkins stressed the importance of procuring as many U.S.-made components as possible, he added that if a finished vehicle had fewer components, it would both resolve potential supply chain issues and aid the company in developing a more spacious passenger cabin. Pausing from his presentation, Hawkins retrieved a Lucid electric motor casing from a carry-on suit case. The motor casing is comparable in size to a small kitchen appliance, but when filled with its internal components capable of propelling a full-sized electric vehicle. Miniaturization of vehicle elements means designers could configure roomier passenger spaces as well as a larger trunk area. 'This is a really obvious example of how we can do more with less,' Hawkins said. In developing its base powertrain, Hawkins said the approach was creating something that could deliver more power, but with fewer parts to reduce costs and eliminate the need to outsource or make additional components. 'There's fewer materials to source, process, deal with the end of life, recycle. Less mass engages in the benevolent cycle of efficiency,' he said. Always seeking opportunities to operate efficiently is a mindset that resonates throughout Lucid, Hawkins said. 'I think what this year has taught us, if nothing else, is that we need to be continuously understanding and evaluating what resiliency means, what the risks to our companies are, [and] what our strategies should be in response,' he said. 'Absolutely, it needs to be continuously and thoroughly examined to make sure that we're covering our bases.'
