Toronto Faces Rise in Sick and Injured Raccoons, Some Displaying Zombie-Like Behavior

Toronto is facing a rise in sick and injured raccoons exhibiting zombie-like behavior, with TAS reporting a significant increase in service calls. The surge in requests, potentially linked to the canine distemper virus, poses a threat to public safety. While CDV does not directly harm humans, unvaccinated dogs are at risk. TAS has deployed extra staff to handle the influx of calls, highlighting the need for proactive measures.
