Squirrel Drama: Dude Accused of Drowning a Lil Homie 🐿️
Okay, so peep this. There's a vid going around of some guy in Île-Perrot allegedly drowning a squirrel. The internet is not vibing with it, like at all. Neighbors and animal rights activists are throwing shade, calling it straight-up morbid.
The dude's explanation? He was tryna protect his garden and the birds in his backyard. Like, squirrels are public enemy number one for his veggies or sum. But animal rights peeps ain't buying it. One activist even confronted him about it, and he apparently spilled the tea on how he allegedly did the deed.
Now the SPCA and the cops are on the case. Turns out, messing with squirrels can get you in trouble with the law. They're protected and all that. Unless they're causing major chaos, you can't just off them willy-nilly. If they find the guy guilty, he could be facing fines or even jail time. Big yikes!
Montreal's on Fire (Literally): Battery Fires Surging 🔥
In other news, Montreal's got a whole different kind of fire problem. Battery fires are going up like crazy, almost 200% since 2022. No cap!
What's the deal? Apparently, it's all about sketchy charging habits and cheap batteries. E-bikes and e-scooters are the main culprits, especially when people start modding them and adding extra batteries. Plus, there's a bunch of unregulated batteries out there that don't meet Canadian safety standards. They're cheap, but they're also a fire hazard.
It's not just e-bikes either. Cellphones, power tools, all kinds of stuff are starting to catch fire. Scientists at McGill are trying to develop safer batteries, which is good news. But in the meantime, fire officials are saying to charge your stuff during the day, use the right charger, and don't overcharge. Stay safe out there, fam!
