    Wear PPE and wash thoriughly afterwards. Or call a professional who deals with wildlife to remove as they likely have experience safely handling dead animals.

      Yup, this is a 30 minute job - dig a hole (preferably from the upwind side) beside the critter, roll it into said hole, bury it. If you want to keep critters out, have your local dude urinate around it every day. It’ll be gone in the spring.

        No, it’s not really a common problem. I mean in a big city, it’ll surely happen from time to time, but in the 10 years I lived in TO, I never came across one.

        This poor guy just happened to go viral and become a posthumous celebrity. And yeah, that’s the racoon the poster was referencing!
