Oil Spill Affected Animals Have Hope with
Mobile Wildlife Cleansing Facilities
Mobile Concepts by Scotty urges officials to
consider their mobile wildlife cleansing trailers to assist in the Gulf
Coast animal clean up.
Mount Pleasant, PA (June 3, 2010)- With the ability to easily move along
the Gulf Coast, mobile wildlife cleansing trailers and shipping containers
provide wildlife experts and volunteers with safe and easily maneuverable
facilities which are manufactured by Pittsburgh-area specialty vehicle
manufacturer Mobile Concepts by Scotty.
These trailers or ocean shipping containers are outfitted with work stations
that allow the seven steps to the clean up process to be carried out easily
before animals are released back into the wild.
Work stations include areas for the following:
- physical examination,
- warming, feeding and hydration,
- containment for 48 hours of rest prior to cleaning,
- multiple washes in hot, softened water with a diluted cleaning
agent, like Dawn dish detergent,
- separate areas for pre and post-cleaning containment and examination
- post-release assessment that may require animals to be tagged and
monitored.
 The
size of the trailer or ocean shipping container is based upon the number of
work stations and additional equipment needed. Trailers can range in size
from 15 to 53 feet and ocean shipping containers from 10 to 45 feet in
length. Additional features include heating and cooling systems, set
up for generators, exterior fresh and gray water connections, storage
compartments, etc.
These mobile units can serve as a training facility for volunteers who must
undergo training to participate in oil spill animal clean up.
Mobile Concepts can also provide separate products for crew housing, bunk
quarters, mobile commands and hazmat response trailers.
 The
public is urged to call 866-557-1401 to report animals affected by the oil
spill and to provide the following information: the number and type of
animal(s), the date and time they were seen, their location, any
observations about the animal’s behavior and the caller’s contact
information.
“We want to help the area, volunteers, wildlife— basically anyone or
anything involved in the clean up process. If our vehicles can help, we want
to hear from you,” shared Anne Degre, president of Mobile Concepts by
Scotty. Degre can be reached at adegre@MobileConcepts.com or 1-800-783-0213.
