UK's mindless, hostile & aggressive local councils

Stoke-on-Trent couple fined £1,200 after clearing up rubbish

Their road had been blighted with “disgusting” #litter for years.

But after Mr Pinter cleaned up some of the rubbish and left it out in a cardboard box by the full bins, the pair each received £600 fines.

The city council said all fly-tippers would be punished with fixed penalty notices and considered the matter resolved.

Ms Mike, 41, said people would often dump waste around the bins on their street which she claimed would not get collected and would attract animals.

I’m actually afraid to walk past it in the street because I’ve seen a lot of #rats and what looks like stray cats

Mr Pinter, 46, collected the rubbish into the box, which had his name printed on it, on 29 April after seeing the litter blowing around.

He said the bins on the street were full so he had to leave the box next to them in the hope it would be collected.

#Permaculteur #Permacultrice, cultivateurs et cultivatrices de #potagers, j'ai besoin de vos conseils... Le #potager est envahi de #rats taupiers. Je n'intoxiquerai pas le sol avec des poisons et j'ai pas envie non plus d'exploiter une armée de chats pour les faire fuir... Qui peut me conseiller une méthode efficace à suivre pour arrêter le massacre des légumes racines... Merci... Bisous

Claims council cuts and LEZ ban deepen Glasgow rat crisis

SCOTLAND'S biggest council has been warned that cuts to the number of street cleaners and major problems with refuse vehicles failing to comply with the city's Low Emission Zone is deepening a problem with rat infestation.

Of the 1,615 vehicles owned by the council some 616 are non-compliant meaning they are no longer allowed inside the new #LEZ

"This song is about those who claim to have the interests of the people at #heart, but when it comes down to it there is only ego and self-interest. I find myself reflecting on what sort of person would actually be so driven as to want to rule over a whole nation, and aren’t these people by definition the very last people that should be allowed to do so? The rats will always save themselves first."

From my ongoing series of animals that live in a German animal shelter...

Gule Gule

Normally I only post cats and dogs from the shelter, but of course there are also other types of animals waiting for a new home. For example, the Fancy rat (in German Farbratte) Gule Gule. A species from which many will surely run away screaming. But they also want to live and the animal shelter gives them a home too. Gule Gule was brought to the shelter together with her friend Abbey. Rats unfortunately have a very short life expectancy and often develop cancerous tumors, so we already had to put Abbey out of her pain.

The intention of my posts is not to find people that adopt those pets. This German animal shelter accepts only local adoptions and has a very good placement rate. My intention is to raise awareness for all those beautiful pets in the shelters out there waiting for you to be their hero. Go to your nearest animal shelter to find your new pet. Adopt! Don't shop!

"They are repelled by the smell of peppermint oil. I drop several cotton balls in a mason jar and pour peppermint oil on them. There’s a jar in my car, and all the closets. I freshen the cotton balls monthly all year round. Problem solved."

The rat problem in Washington, DC, is so bad, two people got hantavirus | Ars Technica https://arstechnica.com/science/2022/03/the-rat-problem-in-washington-dc-is-so-bad-two-people-got-hantavirus/

Many people might already think of the nation's capital as a political rat's nest, teeming with rat-related features, like underground networks and crowded backrooms where any faint smell of betrayal could send lawmakers scurrying. But Washington, DC, is also a den of literal rats. And it's creating a concerning risk of viral spillover for residents.

The type of hantavirus is less severe than the one that usually spreads in the Americas.
