    It's strictly take-away, mind you. I'm not going near it! I set a live-trap, hoping to catch one of the raccoons. There is a skunk in the trap ... and I live in the middle of a city of 50,000. I hate the idea of causing an animal to suffer, but it's just going to have to die before I'll go near the trap.

    You really are an exceptionally ignorant piece of_shit, aren't you? You set the trap, you_cocksucker, now go release the animal you trapped. I hope to god you spend some time in a cage with an abusive, ignorant_asshole like yourself in charge someday.

      Ilion, I've mostly refrained from making any personal attacks, but allowing an animal, yes even a skunk, starve to death because you are too concerned for you sense of smell puts you in the class of truly selfish bastards. As has been said, you set the trap, take responsibility for your actions, deal with the consequences.

        Just put a posting on craigslist for a free "cat". It's been my experience that anything you put on there marked free will be gone within 15 minutes. Doesn't seem to matter if it's anything of value or not.

          Surely there is an animal welfare group close by, possibly PETA, they could be relatives. Get a nose filter, gas mask or something. There is a special place reserved in hell for people who allow animals to starve to death.

            I'm not a bunny-hugger; I care about human beings, not so much about animals. I don't *like* what I'm doing, but I'm not going near that thing.

            Then I second this response. It isn't a matter of bunny-hugging, it's a matter of respecting animals. Unless you have some allergy to the chemicals that skunks produce, then it's your responsibility to help - you set the trap, and you saw that you caught the wrong animal. It would take only five minutes (I'm guessing) to release the trap, and the only offence would be to your sense of smell.

                To trap an animal and then let it starve to death because you are too afraid or lazy or stupid to do something about it is despicable.

                  Even when I was a partially educated hick living in Ohio, I knew how to treat animals. In fact, I had a pet skunk. All I did was grow up and get away from knuckle draggers like you. Call Animal Control or something since you seem to live in a fucking city, shithead.

                        Chuck cage complete with skunk into 44 gallon drum of water. No the most humane solution but better than letting it starve.

                            Critter's probably dead by now, but you didn't think to call the city's animal control why? This is the kind of crap they deal with, and if it's already caged all the better than having to chase it down.

                              Because the dickless little_fuck wouldn't have been able to get his sadistic jollies if he'd called the authorities. They'd probably have arrested him for animal cruelty.

                                    I did shoot this thing the next morning. Withing minutes, the whole house was engulfed with the stench, which remained almost unbearable for several hours, into the afternoon. And, even the next day, I could still smell it (and, at the basement door, where the skunk was, the stench was strong for days).

                                      Well, 2nd asswipe, you *clearly* have no idea how pointless that is. Why not shut your trap until you know what you're talking about.

                                        No, you don't. You don't care about anything but your own stupid ego. Get a clue, dumb fuck.

                                          Just put a posting on craigslist for a free "cat". It's been my experience that anything you put on there marked free will be gone within 15 minutes. Doesn't seem to matter if it's anything of value or not.
