Critter Management/Gator Wrestler

OK, so after a long pause here at The Human Show I am back with a new post. This post came out of an article I read about a 500 pound alligator that was removed from a South Carolina lagoon. Though I think it is interesting and sounds like a big gator, I am less interested in the gator and more interested in the three "gator wrestlers" that it took to handle the gator!

I thought to myself, is this a real job, gator wrestler? They listed the name of the company that did the gator removal in the article as well and it was Critter Management Inc. I went to their website and most of the animals they deal with sound pretty normal except the gators. Here is a description from their site about the animals they service:

"Critter Management, Inc. services bats, rats, mice, flying squirrels, gray squirrels, feral cats, fox, deer, alligators, raccoons, opossums, armadillos, snakes, otters, hogs, birds, and other low country critters."

I couldn't find a jobs page on their website but there probably wouldn't have been any "gator wrestler" positions open anyway. Wait, what do I know? There may be a lot of demand for people to handle those pesky gators...note to self, potential career to explore!

China Oil Spill

OK, so Enviro-Sustain is a better platform for a post about an oil spill but there are a couple of pictures from this spill that really can only be posted here on The Human Show. Here is a Chinese firefighter saving another firefighter who is in the spill!

I can't find any real news on how he is doing but I guess he survived.

Dogs

OK, so usually, actually always this blog is about people. I will try to find more print stories in the future since it has been very video based recently but today's post and video is specifically about funny dog videos. I think I can add it to The Human Show because there are several instances in this that stupid or silly parents (usually not in the video) let their kids and dogs interact in crazy ways. Then the fact that people actually shot all of these videos! Enjoy and look for the floating dog!!!

Badminton

OK, so backyard badminton is not very exciting, though it can be fun. Check out professional badminton!

Skateboard!

OK, so here is a first for my blogs, I am posting only the video here on The Human Show and on the Mullet of Blogs I will post more about the video so check it out!!!

Recycling Wedding

So this post could very easily be posted to my enviro-sustain blog but I liked the human element in this story a little more than I liked the recycling and living green element. This couple collected and saved aluminum cans to pay for their wedding. Apparently they kept them on their porch and in the end they needed 400,000 cans to get the $3800 that they needed for the wedding. Over a ton of cans were hauled away but a little over half of the cans needed were donated by two major donors, that is still a lot of cans.

I think that many opportunities like this exist, for instance at one of my jobs there is no place to recycle anything other than cardboard but if there was a small receptacle that employees could recycle cans in and have a group or organization take them away would be great!!!
