One more incident like this and Delta is going to get a reputation. Just weeks after a mouse was found on board one of their planes, causing an evacuation and serious delay... it's happened again!

Following the Junior's mousecake incident, PETA has sent an urgent open letter to owner Alan Rosen, asking that he only use humane, non-lethal rodent control (like this cute house). Yet there's no word of a letter to Delta after the airline was infiltrated by a furry friend earlier this week!

The animals scored another point against the humans at JFK this past Sunday. Reportedly a mouse (eek!) was running rampant around a Delta aircraft waiting to depart for London. Upon being spotted, the captain refused to operate the flight, "fearing the rodent might gnaw through some critical wiring and put the entire aircraft at risk high over the Atlantic." And now we have a new reason to fear flying.

Yesterday we broke the gag-inducing news that Junior's in Downtown Brooklyn was now adorning their famous cheesecakes with some real life mice, after photos of the vermin brushing up against their desserts appeared on the Brooklynian message board over the weekend.

A tipster wrote us just in time for lunch saying to "Check out the specials now in Downtown Brooklyn." Don't mind if we do! However, this was quickly followed by these photos and mention of Junior's new "mouse flavor." While the source specifies the Dekalb location, the poster of the original photo doesn't say which Junior's this little guy was spotted at. However, this recent thread on the Brooklynian message board points to Brooklyn. We called the cheesecake purveyor and were told "this is the first time we're hearing about a rodent problem."

Last week's Page Six item about the rats of Morton Street terrorizing Greenwich Village residents (including Gisele Bundchen!) prompted this Fox 5 report. Aside from choice quotes like "They are ruling the streets," "One night, I saw a rat come across the street, catch a mouse and eat it. It was disgusting. There are rats coming across the street, they're having parties in the street," and "They are like the big, giant disgusting Secret of NIMH rats," neighbors also tells Fox 5, the rats are headquartered at 42 Morton Street: "Acting on complaints, the city Health Department sent out the rat patrol in full force. Inspectors found rat droppings inside the building and told the owner to clean it up or else." Ew (and video is after the jump). Also, per the city, property owners are responsible for keeping rat-free environments while tenants are required to store their garbage properly.

There's nothing like a member of the media witnessing a rodent infestation at your establishment. Over the weekend, the Daily News saw mice in the FAO Schwarz toy store, "scampering between the eyes of plush monkeys and elephants - and around nearby candy jars."

It's not rats at a KFC/Taco Bell, but little critters are all around--sometimes in very public areas. Reader Stacey sent us footage of a window at Macy's in Herald Square, where a little mouse is really enjoying the Macy's Flower Show. WARNING: You may think this is cute.
