On Sunday afternoon, an oil spill was detected on the Muddy River in Boston, leaving animals coated in oil. The exact location and cause of the leak are still unknown, but authorities responded to the incident. Various Canadian geese and ducks have been affected, with New England Wildlife providing treatment for the animals. Residents who wanted to help with cleanup were denied for safety reasons. More than a dozen animals are being treated at the New England Wildlife Center. President Katrina Bergman cautioned against untrained individuals trying to assist, as they could potentially do more harm than good. She emphasized the need for protective gear due to uncertainty about the substance of the spill. Fernando Cervantes Jr., a trending news reporter for USA TODAY, highlighted the ongoing efforts to treat the affected animals and the caution needed when dealing with the spill.
