Watch out! ‘Bed bugs’ are fighting back … apparently!

by Gary Bates

Researchers at the University of Sydney have claimed that bed bugs are evolving thicker skin in an effort to ‘fight back’ against insecticides designed to kill them: “Some bedbugs have evolved a thicker layer of cuticle, they found. This is the shell-like outer layer, or exoskeleton, on the bloodsucking little bugs. And it turns out that resistance is cuticle. That extra thick protection gives the bug new and improved armour.”...https://creation.com/bed-bugs-are-fighting-back

An Alberta town remains divided over a controversial program to kill feral rabbits at a cost of nearly $300 per bunny.

Ten years ago, the Town of Canmore had an estimated 2,000 feral rabbits. They were former pets that had been breeding outdoors for decades in the tourist town near Banff.

In 2012, Canmore began trapping and euthanizing the rabbits because biologists believed that they were attracting dangerous wildlife like cougars, bears and coyotes...https://www.ctvnews.ca/canada/alberta-town-divided-over-program-to-kill-feral-rabbits-at-cost-of-300-per-bunny-1.4015879

Complaints Soar as San Francisco Drowns in Human Waste

By Adriana

If you have ever considered moving to San Francisco, California think again.

San Francisco is the second-most expensive city to live in the United States. And if you don’t think that is bad, San Fran is also overloaded with human waste and trash. This year alone authorities have received over 16,000 feces-related complaints.

This is completely unsanitary and unsafe for anyone to bring their families, even for a vacation. Just this week we have discovered 16,022 complaints have been made. The complaints are for “feces” in the streets, and other things like “shit,” “poop,” and “excrement.”... http://www.americanjournalreview.com/complaints-soar-san-francisco/

A pride of hungry lions in a South African reserve just saved the day, at least for a herd of rhinos. The poachers, who had illegally entered that reserve with a gun and axe to kill those rhinos, were not so lucky.

The big cats mauled and killed at least two — possibly three — poachers, leaving behind just their bloodied and partly-eaten body parts, according to news reports.

The illegal entrance and subsequent mauling attack happened at the Sibuya Game Reserve sometime between Sunday night (July 1) and Monday morning (July 2), according to a statement by the reserve...https://www.livescience.com/62998-lions-kill-rhino-poachers.html
