The case pertains to an accident in 2018, when the petitioner Prathap Kumar hit a pet dog being taken out for a walk by a 60-year-old woman in a residential area. In a recent judgment, the Karnataka High Court held that the provision of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and the Motor Vehicles Act would be applicable for injuries caused to pets or animals during road accidents. In particular, the court ruled that the provision under section 279 of the Indian Penal Code for rash driving was applicable only to human beings and not to a pet or an animal. Justice Suraj Govindaraj, on October 21, passed the judgment while hearing a petition filed by a 21-year-old, seeking to quash the proceedings against him in which he had been accused of causing the death of a pet dog. Justice Govindaraj also ruled that charges imposed under section 279 of IPC would not be attracted as the section did not recognise and/or make an offence any injury caused to animals. "An accident involving...

The boa constrictor after it was found on a canal path near Chasewater. Photo: Linjoy Wildlife Sanctuary and Rescue - Midlands The boa constrictor, which was said to be sunning itself in a bid to try and keep warm, was found on the path in Chasewater, near Cannock, on Thursday. Volunteers from Linjoy Wildlife Sanctuary and Rescue - Midlands were called to collect the snake. The charity is now housing the snake and monitoring its health while waiting to see if anyone comes forward to claim ownership. Founder Lindsay Newell said there's a chance the snake could have escaped, which was found in a spot not near any houses, but nobody has so far come forward. "The lady and gentleman who came across it on the canal path, they were shocked, she said. "I'm not sure what it was doing where it was, it was in the middle of nowhere. "We've had a few offers to rehome it, but we won't do it straight away. Until we know its eating OK. It's now in a vivarium." V...

In an unassuming plaza off Rural Road in Tempe, snakes slither inside of a neon-lit room while strawberry cheesecake protein shakes are blended in an adjacent space. No, this isn't a Halloween haunted house or a sci-fi reptilian dream. It's Infinity Shakes Snake Cafe. A sign above the door reads "Live Noodsss," and leads into the unusual business. Inside, customers can hang out with snakes with names such as Osaka and Athens. On the drinks menu, protein shake flavors range from Cinnamon Toast Crunch to Fruity Pebbles and Oreo Overload. Owners Alicia Penkey and Elisa Benitez explain that for $20, customers can get a protein shake and a five-minute hold of one of 18 non-venomous snakes. The owners normally assist with the snake-holding, at least until customers get comfortable with the creatures. More involved experiences like snake feeding and snake meditation are available by reservation. Introducing the snakes at Infinity Shakes and Snake C...

Deputy City Manager Shiri Klima (Photo by Chris Frost) Oxnard– The Finance and Governance Committee approved an amended professional services agreement for the Whistleblower Hotline Service during its Tuesday, October 25 meeting. The Five-Year contract will cost the City $30,500 and have a termination provision if the City is not satisfied with the services. Deputy City Manager Shiri Klima presented the video and said Price Page and Company has provided the service since its inception, and the City Council approved a third amendment with the company in June 2021.

She said Council Member Gabe Teran, City Attorney Stephen Fischer, and Klima selected Syntrio and submitted a letter of intent awar...

When LSA sophomore Kimberley Thompson returned to campus at the start of the school year, she said she noticed something she had never before: an abnormally large number of dead birds. "I remember seeing (the birds) and being sad because they were all these different colors," Thompson said. "They were pretty, colorful birds." Thompson said she saw these birds lying on the ground each day between the Hatcher Graduate and Shapiro Undergraduate Libraries. LSA senior Sandhya Srinivasan also noticed an increase in dead birds on campus in the past few weeks. She said a group of students in Martha Cook residence hall theorized that an emerging avian influenza outbreak could be the cause of the increase in bird deaths. "Someone mentioned (the avian flu) in the Martha Cook group chat, and I mentioned that I happened to see these dead birds too," Srinivasan said. However, reports from the Michigan Department of Natural Resources confirm that Washte...

Heat and humidity can be exhausting, debilitating and generally unpleasant, so it's essential to choose the best air conditioning unit for your home. But which is the best air conditioning type for you? These systems are available in various formats but they all work by removing heat and humidity from indoor air and returning cooled air to your interior. Most air con units operate by using a refrigerant chemical with a compressor, condenser coil and evaporator coil, which all work together to deliver your fresh, cool air for working, relaxing and sleeping better at night. When choosing which air conditioner to install, think about the size of space you want to cool down. Is it for just one room or a whole house? Are you a homeowner or a renter? For single rooms or rentals, portable or window units are the best option. Homeowners with big budgets are better off with a full central system while thos...
