Rabid?

Slingah,

We had skunk in our yard during the day a year ago, I called animal control, they came, killed it and found it to be rabid.
They said seeing them in the daytime, is a telltale to them being rabid.

Cool yeah but...

when people hear that...
they condem all noctournal critters
seen in daytime

(Usually early morning and dusk hours)
label them rabid and steer their cars towards them
for a quick bump -bump under .... the tires...
so i don't believe in that statement.

one night, i heard a gunshot around midnight
in my (then) residential neighborhood...
and it was some yahoo shooting a freakin possum.

the cops said the man was within his rights,
even though no hunting is allowed in that town.
skunks "are protected" by law
so its better to discourage them from making
a burrow in "your" yard

of course if it rushes at you and snarls or acts
really aggressive then --> blast him

...i have used a garden hose
many times to deter them
and have petted
a wild skunk before.
i thought it was a kitty cat.
it was a pure white albino.

i have handed cookies to racoons
and peanuts to squirells...from
1 foot away...i have it on film.

We're gonna need a bigger keg....The DIY scenting worked for me. No more skunks or groundhogs. You know it's really something when you can offend a skunk to the point of moving out with your stinky pee! I also don't have foxes lurking anymore. Pee a perimeter!
