Paramedics do an amazing job helping people in distress but their rescue efforts aren’t limited to humans! A poor skunk in Toronto, Ontario found itself with a cup stuck on its head and couldn’t see where it was going.
When a brave paramedic, Justin Mausz, noticed the skunk bumping into things, he knew he had to rescue the skunk. To prevent himself from getting sprayed during the skunk rescue, he wore an Ebola suit. Knowing that if the suit could prevent him from getting Ebola, it would provide adequate protection from getting sprayed.
Paramedic in Peel noticed a poor skunk had a cup on its head and kept bumping into things.
