Ontario paramedic dons Ebola protective gear to rescue skunk

[0101ABA]

A paramedic in Peel region suited up in protective gear on Sunday morning — not for an outbreak situation — but for a rescue mission to save a skunk with a cup stuck on its head.

Justin Mausz was pulling into the station on Goreway Drive north of Derry Road in Mississauga, Ont., around 7:30 a.m. Sunday, when he spotted the animal in the back parking lot with a cup on its head and the dome lid caught around its neck. The skunk was walking in circles and bumping into the wall.

(...)

So, he leaped into action to rescue the animal. But to keep the skunk spray, and smell, off his uniform, he donned protective gear used in situations involving infectious diseases, such as Ebola.

The poor skunk, LOL.
I am glad the paramedic Justin Mausz had a kind heart and helped the poor skunk. I am sure the skunk appreciated the help but the paramedic had to kit up to avoid the spray. LOL

I read that skunk story too, skunks must be very determined little furry fellas to keep getting themselves into these situations, LOL

It takes a brave person who risks being sprayed to rescue them. Hahahaha.
