Horseshoe crabs are prehistoric creatures that predate the dinosaurs, but pharmaceutical companies depend on them to this day for their unique blue blood.The crabs’ blood is hypersensitive to endotoxins, making it the perfect testing ground to see if a coronavirus vaccine is harmful to people."The fact that we rely so much on these really primitive creatures that predate the dinosaurs," said Barbara Brummer, the state director of The Nature Conservancy in New Jersey.From Massachusetts to South Carolina, the crabs are collected and taken to laboratories. But one of their largest breeding grounds is right in New Jersey, in the Delaware Bay."The concern is the population of horseshoe crabs in the Delaware Bay has been declining over the years," said Brummer. "They are needed for the ecological value they bring for shorebirds.”Shorebirds rely on the crabs' millions of eggs for food.New Jersey fishermen are banned from using the crabs for bait. But pharmaceutical companies remove about a half-million horseshoe crabs from the ocean every year.In the labs, about one-third of a crab's blood is removed for testing. If the crab's blue blood clots up, the medicine is no good.The crabs are then returned to the ocean.However, a study by the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission estimates about 15% of the crabs do not survive."There is an alternative test," Brummer said. "They have created a test that does not involve the bleeding of the crabs. It is a synthetic material."The synthetic test has been approved in Europe but has not yet been approved in the United States.This story was first reported by Christie Duffy at PIX11 in New York, New York. 1674

HENRICO COUNTY, Va. -- Summer time for middle school students usually means taking a break from lessons and learning, but not for one 11-year-old girl in Virginia.London Hart is actually diving deeper into our country's history and studying recent events, including protests against racial injustice."Back when the protests started after the George Floyd incident, I was having a conversation my with parents about what was really going on and what was happening. They were telling me all about racism," said London.It's a conversation London said was very upsetting."Just because you're a minority, doesn't mean you should be treated unfairly. It made me unhappy that that was happening," said London.So the budding artist picked up her canvas and paintbrush and expressed her support for the Black Lives Matter movement the best way she knows how -- by painting.Then she turned those paintings into t-shirt designs."A bunch of people were really happy that I started this movement with the t-shirts and everybody was buying them and buying them and buying them," said London.London's "Support Shirts" campaign was shared so much online that it blew up."At first, I only expected to sell like 15 shirts at the most. So far, I have 875, raising ,600," said London.London is donating all the money to organizations fighting for racial equality, teaching others you're never too young to get involved with a cause you care about.She even offered some advice to other young people."As long as you know what you're doing and you feel like you know what you're saying and you have something you can support, then I feel like you can stand out and use your voice," said London.London's goal is to raise ,000 this summer.If you would like to buy one of her shirts, click here.This story originally reported by Tyler Layne on wtvr.com. 1840

HOLLADAY, Utah — A Holladay man is explaining his distress over the loss of his 20 Burmese pythons after the Unified Police Department arrested him Friday and served a search warrant on his home in an exotic animal bust.Unified Police said that 64-year-old Marty Lynn Bone didn't have the proper permits to own the snakes, and they also made another discovery in his backyard that they indicated was a potential safety issue for his neighbors.To Bone, the "Burms" were his "kids."He said he considers them family. Each one has a name, like Lumpy or Stubbs. He said some are around 15 years old, others up to 30 years old.Bone lets them roam freely in his home, and they even sleep with him in his bed at night."Everything I've done is just for the snakes, not for me," Bone said in an interview with FOX 13 Monday.Pictures show a pile of snakes stretched down Bone's hallway and sprawled out across his king-size waterbed. "I've been doing this for 45 years," he said. "Nobody's complained, up until today."According to the Unified Police Department, they received complaints about Bone that led to an investigation. Detective Ken Hansen said an undercover police officer bought a baby Burmese python from Bone, but Bone didn't have the proper permit to sell the snake.The probable cause statement said that Bone's exotic pet permit expired in 2017.This led to a search warrant of Bone's home, which police served to Bone on Friday. Officers said they found 20 pythons throughout the house.Half of the snakes were more than 10 feet long. Some of the shorter ones were juveniles, Hansen said.While searching the property, Hansen explained that they also found hundreds of other animals."In the back of the home were what they call 'feed animals,' which included 585 rats. And in addition to that, there were about five dead rats," Hansen said. He went on to say they also found "46 rabbits, and in addition to that, there were four dead rabbits."There were additional snakes that were dead inside Bone's home, Hansen said.Bone said he used the rats and rabbits to feed his pythons. He feeds about 18 rabbits once a month to his snakes, he said, and the rats are backup in case he needs more food.On Monday, rats ran around the floor of the shed where he kept the rat cages. One rat jumped around inside a trap that Bone picked up. He explained that police didn't get all the rats, and some got loose. He's been able to trap a few and put them back in the cages in his shed.Even if the animals were to be used for food, Hansen described why having a large number is concerning to them. For one, he talked about the odor and waste involved with raising that many animals."It's about that situation with that many animals in a residential area," Hansen said. "I think that there's a big concern if those rats got loose, let alone the snakes, especially the size of some of those snakes is pretty big."Bone told FOX 13 that the free-roaming snakes in his home often breed, and he gives away many of the eggs. For the eggs he keeps, Bone said he later sells the babies. He said many people sell snakes online and at shows without the proper permits."They arrest me for selling baby snakes that people sell at the reptile expo," he said.All of the adult and large snakes belong to Bone, and he said he does not sell them. As far as explaining his expired permit to own the pets, Bone said he didn't realize the permit was no longer valid.Bone told FOX 13 that he has followed all the rules in the past and used to keep up-to-date on his license, as well as 0,000 insurance on his home. He blamed Salt Lake County Animal Services for what Bone saw as a failure to notify him of the expired permit.When it comes to neighborhood safety, Bone said that he makes sure to keep his snakes inside. He described a past incident where a python escaped and was loose in the neighborhood for quite some time.Since then, he said he installed double-screened windows, and self-closing doors as well as separate self-closing screen doors in front of the doors on his house."I accept living with them, no matter what the danger is," he said.With the snakes now taken away and Bone unable to buy more snakes in the future, he described how he felt like he lost his family."That's my life, I'm over," he said.Bone was booked on 20 counts of "permit required for exotic animals," 10 of which are Class-B misdemeanors and 10 Class-C. He was released from jail over the weekend.He also faces charges of possessing controlled substances with intent to distribute and possessing a firearm by a restricted person after police say they also found marijuana, opiate-derivative pills and a gun in plain sight while searching his home. 4711

Hawaiian authorities are urging sightseers to stay away as Leilani Estates residents return to check on their neighborhood, which is threatened by lava and toxic gases emerging from fissures in the subdivision.Big Island's Kilauea volcano erupted Thursday, spewing molten rock and high levels of sulfur dioxide.Cracks emerged in the volcano's East Rift Zone -- an area of fissures miles away from the volcano's summit. All residents of Leilani Estates, a community of about 1,700 people near Big Island's eastern edge, and nearby Lanipuna Gardens were ordered to evacuate. 580

HAMPTON, N.H. (AP) — Joe Biden said he would be open to breaking up Facebook, a sign of the deep skepticism among many Democratic presidential contenders about the power of massive technology firms.In an interview on Monday with The Associated Press, the former vice president said that dismantling large technology companies is "something we should take a really hard look at."Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts has been the most outspoken Democratic presidential candidate to press for greater regulation of Silicon Valley's most prominent companies. While Biden didn't fully embrace her proposal — saying it's "premature" to make a final judgment — he praised Warren and said she "has a very strong case to be made" for cracking down on tech giants.The comments demonstrate how Facebook is increasingly a flashpoint in the campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination, with some candidates arguing the influence of such companies is unchecked, allowing misinformation to poison the public debate. Sen. Kamala Harris of California said this weekend that she was open to revamping Facebook, telling CNN the company is essentially a public utility. But Sen. Cory Booker of New Jersey told ABC that such calls aren't very different from the tough tactics President Donald Trump takes against his enemies.Regardless of whether Facebook is ultimately broken up, Biden told the AP that the Trump administration hasn't done enough to enforce antitrust laws in a variety of industries. 1498
