ENFIELD, Conn. — After saving a squirrel with a cup stuck on its head, two paramedics are set to receive top honors from PETA.
Video of the rescue went viral last week, and has garnered over 300,000 page views on the Enfield EMS Facebook page.
"These rescuers' kindness and quick thinking saved this squirrel from the pain and terror of slowly starving to death or being run over by a car, unable to see around the cup stuck on his head," PETA Vice President of Communications Colleen O'Brien said.
Paramedics Ralph Armstrong and Keith Taylor used a blanket to capture the agitated mammal before pulling the cup off its head. In recognition of their kind act, PETA will bequeath the two with the Compassionate Action Award, as well as vegan cookies, reported WTNH.
"PETA reminds everyone to crush cans and cups before throwing them in the trash, in order to protect wildlife from getting trapped inside," said O'Brien.
