From this site:
http://cbs3.com/topstories/Police.Drunk....State police have charged a central Pennsylvania man with public drunkenness after he was seen giving mouth-to-mouth "resuscitation" to a long-dead opossum along a highway.Trooper Jamie Levier says several witnesses saw 55-year-old Donald Wolfe, of Brookville, near the animal along Route 36 in Oliver Township Thursday about 3 p.m. The trooper says one person saw Wolfe kneeling before the animal and gesturing as though he were conducting a seance, while another saw the mouth-to-mouth attempt.
When acts of humanity come under such general condemnation as to excoriate the behavior of a man seeking only to revive one of nature's humbler creatures, surely we have descended into the abyss.
I will be taking up a collection for a defense fund for poor Donald, and contributions can be mailed directly, or we do accept Visa and Mastercard by phone.
I have also proposed a Bill to my local representative for emergency services to be provided to any and all animals that are the victims of vehicular mishaps. This will be funded by an additional tax placed upon all licensees so as to be deficit neutral.
Additionally, there will be training for all pets in the administration of mouth to mouth techniques should their caretakers require it.
