1. This week, PETA decided to share a tip with all the animal lovers out there who may run across a possum that appears to be dead. They illustrated it with this picture.

If you find an opossum who appears to be dead, doing THIS could save lives! https://t.co/2xKce25JQc

3. Are they…are they suggesting we do THIS?

Turns out female possums (or opossums) carry their babies inside pouches. Who knew?!

And the babies may still be alive even if the mother suddenly dies. Who knew?!

And it all looks totally gross! Who knew?!

4. This tweet from Twitter user Jackson Knight, which has gone viral, pretty much says it all.

PETA really think I’m about to walk up to what appears to be a dead ass possum and open up its coochie pouch to see… https://t.co/GU0rbLGGIx

5. Everyone was totally shook by the tweet.

@jacksonknightt BITCH COOCHIE POUCH

6. Like, WTF PETA, are you trying to get us killed?

@jacksonknightt @SwallowThatShit so @peta really telling people to open an animal that literally plays dead to survive and carries rabies?

7. Nobody got time for that.

8. PETA is the most extra extra to ever extra.

9. Others were like, why would I want to save one?

@jacksonknightt @spiderlou2099 Those things are horrid creatures to begin with, why would I want to save one, let alone a litter?

10. Don’t they carry rabies?

@peta @k_manning2 they play dead sometimes soooo what if you do this and it bites you? I mean I guess I could live with rabies. Oh wait 😕

11. And wouldn’t performing a possum C-section be straight up disgusting?

@jacksonknightt but then AFTER that they want you to take the dead one to a vet with the babies inside it

12. ALSO…don’t possums play dead? Isn’t that, like, their thing?
