Would YOU risk getting sprayed to help the skunk? [VIRAL VIDEO]

This guy risks getting sprayed by a skunk to help the critter get its head un-stuck from a pop can. Would you have helped out?

The YouTube channel SkeptiSketch posted this video with the title “The bravest thing I’ve ever done.” The video wast posted yesterday, September 26, 2016 and has already been viewed 1,815,006 times as of the writing of this blog.

The skunk apparently wanted to “have a Coke and a smile,” but things went sideways when its head got stuck in the can. The man that is filming the video came across the critter walking in circles on the road. He decided to help get the can off the skunk knowing he could get sprayed. He keeps asking the animal to NOT spray him through his attempt to be a good Samaritan.

Did he get sprayed? Watch the viral video above to find out.

I am always willing to help out when I can. However, I really don’t know if I would have risked getting sprayed to do this. I likely would have called animal control, or DNR or somebody to let them take the risk. I’m just being honest.

*High Five* to the man for taking the risk!

Would YOU have taken the risk of getting sprayed to help the skunk get un-stuck?
