Groundhogs Reportedly Digging up Bones After 'Taking Over' Cemetery

[diehardblue]

Visitors to a Canadian cemetery have complained about the state of the graveyard as groundhogs have apparently made their burrows there.

The Notre-Dame-des-Neiges Cemetery in Montreal, Quebec, is the largest cemetery in Canada, with a site of more than 340 acres.


That's a lot of land to maintain, and there have been complaints about groundhogs at the site which are believed to be responsible for human bones being pushed to the surface as the animals dig their burrows.

Such is the extent of the issue that the cemetery released a statement on the matter on the news section of its website, in which it advises visitors to "report any presence of above-ground bones" to the customer service line.

The cemetery says it has established a protocol for dealing with bones on the ground whenever it receives a report, which involves reburying the bones and blocking the exit of the groundhog burrow.

But some visitors are not happy with the situation. Victor Sicuso, who went to the graveyard to visit his son, told Canadian news outlet Global News on Saturday: "People come here to see their loved ones and they find bones and skulls."
