Poor skunks!

On the way home from work the other day I was listening to the Canadian country station. Since people can't keep from talking on the radio in the morning, I ended up listening to the news section.

There is actually a city (or maybe county, I wasn't listening too intently) that enacted a program to temporarily (so far) euthanize skunks. They are going to hire one person and contract with a local veterinarian to kill skunks.

My question is what did skunks ever do to harm people? Raccoons have a worse temper and porcupines are more dangerous when frightened. Seriously people, how bad are skunks?

They even had a sound clip of some guy who had been outside grilling when two skunks walked into his yard. He took the chance to walk into his house until they vacated his yard. By that point his steaks were burnt. Silly me, I blame the overdone steaks on the idiot who fled from skunks instead of continuing to grill in a non-threatening manner until the critters left.

Come on! What happened to live and let live? End rant... for now anyway.
