Can’t they just turn their garbage can on it’s side so the opossum can climb out?
Patti Zentz Enterline right!?!?!?!?!
Just let it out , they don’t bite . They eat ticks , look scary but very sweet . Can’t believe you would leave it in there.
They are great to have around! Hope they save it!
Tip it on its side
Omg turn the can on the side, it will leave
Guess knocking the can over is out of the question? WTF????
SWAT team activated?
Did this with raccoons in a dumpster. Put a piece of wood inside so it can climb out.
Omg just push the can over ????
Tip it over god ppl are idiots
They’re cute & eat ticks & other yucky bugs.
We need them!! They eat ticks, don’t care rabies!! Get done with a long handle and tip it over!????♀️
Tracey Primavera they 100% carry rabies.
Abe Froman Answer: Any mammal can get rabies. However, the chance of rabies in an opossum is EXTREMELY RARE. This may have something to do with the opossum’s low body temperature (94-97º F) making it difficult for the virus to survive in an opossum’s body.
they don’t bite or carry rabies help this baby
Reminds me of the raccoons in the movie “The Great Outdoors”
Give me the address and I’ll go set it free ????????♀️
Lindsey Collins right me to.cant belive someone would leave it in there for days.poor animal
Right?????? I want to go let it free, that’s horrible to do!!!! Poor Baby 🙁
Melissa Askins I know. It’s so sad.
Debra Lee I know. It’s horrible.
Give it some cat food for a quick snack and set it free!
My question is…Why is it stuck?
Why wouldn’t you just tip over the garbage can and let the damn thing out
Wow … how about tipping the can over …..
Kim Oliverie right!!!
Louise Callahan-Fleig Hahahahah ????
Ahh, how about tilt the can over???????
Alan Baber so your animal control now ????
Chris Giovanni hey, anything for a $…????
She needs to call an exterminator!! CAPITOL Exterminating System
Jamie Schwartz Bonett
Jamie Schwartz Bonett why? Tip the can over and let it free!
Jamie Schwartz Bonett they eat ticks and are essential for our environment
Possums ARE exterminators! They’re very helpful animals, don’t hate them just bc they look scary!
Kat Claws Rinaldi An exterminator will just release it they wouldn’t harm the animals
Just tip over the trash can. It’ll just run away
DUH! ????
what do you mean by stuck…did you put the lid on the trash can…my gosh, tip the can over at dusk preferably and it will leave and go eat some ticks and fleas in your yard….
Tip the can. Duh.
They’re harmless. Tip it over and let it out. They don’t have rabies.
They Wont Hurt U if U Just Tip The Garbage Can Over Let It Go POOR THING????????????????????????
What a fucking idiot
Why don’t they just turn the can over, possums don’t get rabies
Seriously who locks an animal in trash can for almost 2 days? Just Google them they are not dangerous, practically immune to rabies, and very beneficial for the environment. They are mostly blind and no threat to you stop being a baby!!
Will I get arrested for going through people’s garbage cans on that block? I really hope they aren’t just leaving an animal trapped in a friggin can.
Jennifer Collins people suck. Garbage man will come an just dump it. It’s a harmless animal. I hope they didnt please trash into the can ..ughhhh
Just let him out!!!!! Poor thing!!! They dont hurt anyone, let it goooooo!!!!! Or give me your address and I’ll come do it, like damn dont let it suffer!!!!!
Please someone tell them to get the animal out. wtf
Flip the can they do not bite
I can’t stand dam stupidity let the poor thing out just tip the can wtf it won’t hurt you
Really what a fucking idiot is right, Opossum are harmless! They kill and eat ticks and are more scared of a human than a human of them. 1 and a half days? What a complete wuss! Tip the can over and let the poor thing go ????
Omg just turn it over
I would of went and helped them. Unbelievable some people are. I was animal control they are the easiest to handle. Open lid let out, or grab by tail. Omh
Dehlia Rivera
I hope we get an update on this
I’m trying to picture the caller that knew it’s been stuck in there for 1.5 days and just sat there and waited go get a neighborhood kid to kick the can over
Vincent go get your friend
Idiot. It’s not going to bite you!
Please dont kill them. Take the can to wooded area geesh.
Please let him out????. I had a raccoon in my garbage can. All I had to do was tip the can over!! I’m still alive????. So is the raccoon .
Stuck? How?
Flip over can!
They look scary but they are more afraid of us than we are of them!
Ummm…..tip it over?!
Let it go it eats bugs!
Let it the fukk out. You cruel imbecil. How the hell could you stand to know there is an animal, possibly with babies in her pouch suffering in the can & do nothing by your pathetic self to help it?????!!!!!!!!! And leave it to this page to choose a picture of a possum that looks dirty/scared/sick, feeding the public’s uneducated opinion of these animals. Unreal
lay the pail on its side my gosh wth
For fucks sake just tip the damn thing over! What’s the address I will literally go right now and do what should have been done 1 second after finding out the animal was there in the first place
Just tip over can and it will leave. Don’t kill it they r harmless
Can’t someone just turn the can upside down? It’s not rocket science..
Can u knock the can over?? Or is it one of those big dumpsters?
Berkeley Animal Control picked the little guy up. There’s a post with video on the OG page. They share food with my stray cat.
They prob are smarter than half our government
Gail Fattaruso Comrade Murphy for sure!
Just turn cannon it’s side so it can get out
Someone must have a long handled crab net. Scoop it out. Check for babies too. Need a net message me.
So for a day and a half you let it stay in there instead of carefully tipping the can and letting it out? People really are stupid these days.
so push the can over & it’ll leave…are we really this fucking stupid ???
George Frncis It would seem so.
So, did you listen to any of the above suggestions or leave him to die? Why can’t he climb out on his own? I mean they hang in the trees. They are able to climb up and down the trees. Hmmm, something stinks here.
They usually go off and die after something like this because of the trauma. Happened when I found one in my trash can in Florida. Found a dead one couple days later.
