Over 100 Pet Rats Discovered in Parked Cars in Eugene, Oregon, Prompting Neglect Investigation

More than 100 pet rats were discovered living in two parked cars in Eugene, Oregon, last month, according to the Eugene Police Department. On September 23, officers and animal welfare officials responded to a call regarding two cars being towed. Upon inspection, one vehicle, a blue Saturn, was found covered by a tarp and contained numerous rats. The car's interior was reportedly filled with rat feces, chewed-up seat cushions, and trash, with minimal food and water. Additional rats were subsequently found in a nearby gold Suburban. The owner of the rats claimed to have rescued them and attempted to assist in their capture using yogurt, though many proved difficult to catch. Fifty-two rats were initially taken to Greenhill Humane Society in eight cages, where three of them later gave birth to 18 newborn rats. The cars were moved to a towing yard with remaining rats inside, and animal welfare services are continuing to provide food and water while Greenhill Humane Society awaits space to accommodate more anim...

More than 100 pet rats were discovered living in two parked cars in Eugene, Oregon, last month, according to the Eugene Police Department.

Southern California Faces Prolonged October Heat Wave

Southern California Faces Prolonged October Heat Wave

Southern California is bracing for an unusually long and intense October heat wave, with temperatures expected to reach triple digits in parts of Los Angeles and Ventura counties. The National Weather Service has issued an extreme heat watch starting Friday, October 2, lasting through October 8, with the possibility of extension. Meteorologists attribute the heat wave to high pressure and stagnant winds in the region. Downtown Los Angeles and Pasadena are forecast to hit 100°F (37.8°C), while Ojai could reach 102°F (38.9°C). Although less humid than summer conditions, some elevated humidity and thunderstorms may occur in mountainous areas over the weekend. This heat wave could persist through mid-October, marking one of the longest-duration events in recent years.

Humane Colorado Volunteer Advocates for Pit Bulls, Dispelling Breed Stereotypes

Humane Colorado Volunteer Advocates for Pit Bulls, Dispelling Breed Stereotypes

Steve, a long-time volunteer at Humane Colorado, has dedicated over 1,000 hours to walking dogs, leading to a significant change in his perspective on Pit Bulls. Initially wary due to past breed-specific legislation in Denver, which banned dogs with Pit Bull physical traits for over 30 years, Steve's direct interactions at Humane Colorado have transformed his views. He now describes Pit Bulls, which constitute approximately 18% of the shelter's canine population, as 'the nicest in the world.' His volunteer work often involves walking fearful Pit Bulls or those with reservations about men to boost their adoptability, building trust through consistent interaction. This personal experience aligns with broader policy changes in Colorado, including the 2020 repeal of Denver's Pit Bull Ban and recent legislation prohibiting insurers from denying homeowner's policies based on a dog's breed.
