Cape Wildlife Rescue Center employees were called by a concerned person who felt pity when a raccoon who was seen with a jar of peanut butter stuck on his head in Barnstable Massachusetts on Monday afternoon. The wildlife rescue center employees for some strange reason were not able to capture the raccoon so they could remove the jar that has peanut butter out of his head until the next day. The next day a local homeowner found the raccoon with the peanut butter on his head, notified the wildlife rescue employees used the element of surprise by sneaking up on the raccoon who was inside of his den. When the raccoon came out of his den, the wildlife rescue employees, they used a grabber tool to remove the jar out of the racoon's head safely. The wildlife rescue workers are asking people to please throw jars into trash cans since when a raccoon sees a loose jar with food inside, they will go after the meal inside of the jar since they are hungry.

Peanut butter is very attractive to animals like raccoons and bears.

Although it is their job, I find this concern for wildlife and animals commendable. Now if only world leaders take climate change more seriously, not only humans but more species can be saved.
