Shared on Conservation Officer Service’s official Facebook and Twitter profiles, a video details the rescue and shows how the personnel carefully – and tenderly – freed the animal’s head from the jar. The Facebook post explains that the animal was tranquilised before one of the officers removed the glass jar. They also poured water all over the body of the animal to keep it cool.

The officers even stayed beside the animal till it recovered and regained mobility. The post ends with an advisory note that reads, “The #BCCOS would like to remind the public to wash out jars before placing them out for collection day.”
