Due to common practice of littering, thousands of squirrels and skunks get their heads stuck in Yoplait containers every year. It is widely documented and can be viewed on YouTube ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V_GPndNQ1r0 ).
This means the animal's ears, eyes, nose and mouth are all completely covered by the yogurt cup, and because the cup is narrower at entrance than at base, it gets stuck. It won't take long for the animal to suffocate.

It is unconscionable that this is allowed to happen due solely to the fact that the yogurt cups have an inverted shape compared to other yogurt cups. Animals look for food; there is food residue in these cups -- they are accidents waiting to happen. Rarely are the animals rescued from their disasters.
We call on General Mills and its Yoplait Division to redesign their containers.
