Officer Pulls Two Cups Off Skunk’s Head

Author Chris Allen

A police officer in Maine came to the rescue of a skunk found wandering with two cups stuck over its head.  Poor little guy was in double trouble in a Dunkin’ parking lot.

Kind hearted public servant David Hilton was in the drive-through at the restaurant when he spotted the critter nearby.  Most people would have thought “someone else’s problem” but not David.  According to UPI, he got out of his car, put on a pair of gloves and pulled a cup from the animal’s head.

David says he was a little surprised to find out that his task was not yet over.  After he pulled one cup off the skunk’s head another one was revealed underneath the first one.  He was able to get a hold of the second cup as well and pull it free from the animal’s head.  The skunk ran off and in appreciation did not spray its rescuer. A kind officers pulls not one but two cups off a skunk’s head.   To learn more see the video and get all the details from UPI right here.

Best Places in North Carolina to Explore Different Animals

Are you looking to have some fun with animals? Well, I have been contemplating fun things to do and for some reason, a petting zoo has been on my mind. It’s probably because I recently went to Disney World and Animal Kingdom was my absolute favorite place. From The Lion King being my favorite movie to the Safari Tour at Animal Kingdom, I have been thinking about animals like crazy. But, there is no Animal Kingdom here in Charlotte for me to enjoy, right? So, I have to think of somewhere else.

Of course, I decided to take matters into my own hands. That means I am looking into petting zoos, zoos, and all types of animal parks in the state. Why not have some animal-friendly fun? Let’s enjoy some time with the animals and see what you can do here in North Carolina. Can’t wait!
