A paramedic has posted video of his “rescue” of a skunk which had a cup stuck on its head. Peel Region emergency officer Justin Mausz executed the daring feat wearing Ebola protective gear on Sunday. He removed the cup and did not get sprayed. It was touch and go in that department however because the skunk “definitely sprayed,” Mausz reported. Pure luck or agility worked for the paramedic. Here are two videos, one of the very careful cup removal and another showing the helpless skunk with the cup on its head before the rescue. It happened outside Mausz’s Goreway Drive station around 7:30 a.m.
