FRANKLINVILLE, New Jersey (WPVI) -- Gloucester County, New Jersey has plenty of wildlife, but when a county worker spotted some guinea pigs running along the side of the road, they knew to call for help. "Yesterday morning animal control received a call from a county highway employee who noted guinea pigs running around on Tuckahoe Road," said Wendy Carey, Acting Director of the Gloucester County Animal Shelter. Animal control officers responded to Franklinville along Tuckahoe Road near Route 40, scrambling to catch the guinea pigs. "We just had 11 dumped roadside and I'm sure their living conditions weren't great before that," said Officer Christine Quigley with Gloucester County Animal Control. A few others did not survive. The 11 surviving guinea pigs are now safe at the animal shelter in Clayton Township. The circumstances of how and when the guinea pigs ended up roadside are unknown right now, but animal control is investigating. "It could've b...

Pest Control Technicians Amanda Holdren and Ariel Faulkner love working for TNT Termite & Pest Control. Most little girls don't imagine themselves growing up to work with insects. Even fewer would imagine themselves working in the professional pest management industry. TNT Termite & Pest Control Technician Amanda Holdren wasn't like most girls. "I was always a tomboy and loved playing outside and with bugs growing up," she said. That is, until, at 6 years old, she was bitten by a carpenter ant that was crawling on her hand. "I remember being mad and telling my mom that I thought it was my friend," she said. It's no wonder that now, as an adult, she spends her days providing full-service residential and commercial pest management services in the Greater Brandon area. "This is my dream job, and getting to know customers is an absolute bonus on top of that," said Holdren. "Working for TNT has really b...

Thomas Kerr, Glasgow City Council. (Courtesy Thomas Kerr) World leaders gather next week in Glasgow for COP26, a major climate change summit, billed by some as the last chance to save the planet. For Glasgow, Scotland's most populous city, it's an opportunity to bask in global attention and to project itself on the world stage as a modern vibrant center for business and culture. But it could bring some embarrassment, too. The summit to clean up the planet is taking place in a city which seems to be struggling to keep itself clean. "We have a pretty serious waste crisis," said Thomas Kerr, head of the Conservative Party group on the Glasgow City Council. "The city is in a pretty dire state. If you come up to Glasgow, you'll see it, absolutely. The streets are just a mess."  Trash cans across the city are overflowing, he said, and illegal garbage dumping – called "fly-tipping" – is rife. P...

October 26, 2021 9:57 PM Posted: October 26, 2021 9:57 PM ONALASKA, Wis. (WKBT) – There's a sweet-smelling forest creature living at the Coulee Region Humane Society. Flower the skunk has been living in the animal control building since June of 2020 when she was rescued from an area near Richland Center. She was just one month old and couldn't go back into the wild. Now, she's going to serve as the Human Society's animal ambassador. She'll teach both kids and adults not to be afraid of skunks. "We're hoping to maybe set up an outside cage area for her, so when people come down to the shelter, they can at least go up to the cage and view her up close," says Animal Control Supervisor and Wildlife Rehabilitator Kathy Kasakaitas. Flower hasn't made it to any local schools yet because of the pandemic, but wildlife staff hope she can visit soon. COPYRI...

Scorpions are easily recognized arachnids closely related to spiders, mites and ticks. Scorpions have become one of the most important arthropod pests in relation to public health and economic concerns, as they are responsible for a large majority of annual deaths caused by arthropods, more so than any other venomous group of animals with the exception of snakes and bees. Scorpions also affect the quality of human life in a more subtle way by causing fear and trepidation when they invade homes and businesses. Subsequently, they are a primary target of pest management professionals in regions where they are common. Most scorpions are found in temperate, arid regions, but some species can be found in tropical rainforests or both. In the United States, members of the genus Centruroides are the most common scorpions. Among the Centruroides group, the Arizona bark scorpion ( Centruroides sculpturatus ) stands out as the most medically important scorpion in the United States. Of the 185,402 ...

However, Rekt Raccoons offers 9968 unique and randomly generated NFT art pieces, which can be used in upcoming play to earn Metaverse video games to make money.
