Raccoons need ambulances too! That title sounds pretty speciesist.
You call the Toronto Wildlife Centre, that is if the image’s are 1:1 and the racoon’s infact still alive like the pedestrian.
I just checked and raccoons have a life span of 1.8 to 3.1 years even shorter if they’re eating trash.
This poster seems to imply both are dead on the sidewalk.
What’s the problem?
A few things.
It seems to normalise the blame of being hit to the fault of the pedestrian, as opposed to the driver or vehicle operator, which is no where to be seen.
It seems to compare a pedestrians intelligence with that of a wild animal.
Pedestrians that get hit by cars are just as dumb as racoon’s.
Don’t underestimate a raccoon’s intelligence. Put a half eaten burger in the world’s most secure safe, he’ll crack that mother and he’ll tell all his friends how he did it.
What? All it’s saying is not to call 911 for that kind of thing.
At first glance, “the right call” makes me think spatially in terms of direction - i.e. always call the phone number on the right side of the page, instead of the left side.
(Obviously they mean the correct call to get the correct help, but it’s still funny).
I think that hit the spot, actually. Lol
No pun intended?
What’s the pun?
Hit the spot = hit by a car
Aha! Those are tire marks. Thanks!
