Raining cats and dogs By Brendan Rees Kittens, rabbits and guinea pigs at the RSPCA shelter in Pearcedale will be looking for their purrfect homes this weekend. The RSPCA is on a mission to Clear the Shelters with adoption fees reduced to $29 for all animals great and small in care. The promotion runs from from Friday 22 February to Sunday 24 February.

Syringe stinger A mother has been left horrified after finding syringes exposed in a sharps container in a uni-sex toilet at Hungry Jacks in Cranbourne. Racheal Chadwick took her two-year-old son to the toilet where she found the syringes poking out of a container on the wall above the toilet on Wednesday 13 February. "Because he's so little I actually go in with him and lock the door," Ms Chadwick said when she attended the restaurant about 1pm "I happen to look at the wall and saw syringes hanging out. There would've been a
couple, I didn't even stop count them, I was horrified. "The thing that made it more noticeable there was a packet hanging out as well," she said. "I don't know if the box was full and there was nowhere for them to go or they haven't been pushed in properly. "I got him out of the toilet real quick." Ms Chadwick spoke with the manager immediately after leaving the toilet at the South Gippsland Highway restaurant. "Didn't seem to care, just sorry, walked away," she said. "I
left the store straight away." Ms Chadwick was dumbfounded that a sharps container would even be available at the family-friendly restaurant: "I was horrified, absolutely horrified," she said. "I understand it's Cranbourne and Cranbourne doesn't have a very nice name but it's a family kid friendly restaurant. "If I didn't go in there with him what's to say he wouldn't have stood up on the seat and pulled them out. "If you get pricked by a needle it doesn't matter you're going to get tested," she added.

Furious, Ms Chadwick also called Casey Council who told her they were going to investigate the matter. She said the toilet should've been blocked off. "I understand that Hungry Jacks are not allowed to empty it but they should've notified the correct people. "Definitely not going there again." A Hungry Jack's spokesperson said "Hungry Jack's has consulted with the local council which is satisfied that the correct process for dealing with sharps is in place and that this process has been followed."
