Call city services, and then hold a vigil? #DeadGooseBC

Rest in peace poor guy.

Is that actually a common thing where Raccoons pass away on the sidewalk in the cities?

Reminds me of this post!

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, I think that's the racoon the poster was referencing!

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

All you need is a shovel. Dig a hole, carry the goose to it with the shovel, etc.

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.
