And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
My dad brought one home...at that age they still can spray, as we found out. He then took it up to the Moose hall (it's 9 PM), orders a beer and when the bartender turns around, places it on the bar. The "kitten" strolls down the bar, and the two drunks suddenly are sitting straighter and start looking back and forth between their drinks and little skunk. The bartender tunes around and starts laughing, as the two individuals suddenly decide they've had enough when they start hallucinating little skunks. They left for the night. Pop's beer was free.
You mean little squirters, cause thats what the kits do, tiny bit, squirt here squirt there, we git a family under the front porch each year going back 7, they never actually spray any of us, my wife leaves out some cat fude while the kits are nursing, then the kits get to certain size and they all go away till next year. Actually like the sent, in small doses its like mink spray, is musky like.
Great insect control if you got a veggy garden, the skunks we got are a bit "slow", best to bang a piece of sheetmetal when your going out to work, so they get used to you, then they hardly pay no attention, the little ones are cute as all get out. There's an old one, he's almost all white except his paws. Never gets near any if us. Better than whistle pigs eating the heck out of everything. Skunks do a bit of tilling too digging for grubs and such. We ain't had no problem with them at all. Just don't want to kill them, killin' time is coming if "our rulers" don't back the eff off, be enough of it the is all. Seems they be creeping in on that though. And they don't give a hoot in hell about us little folks.
My Dad had one that lived with his outdoor cats. Came up to be fed with them every morning and slept in the attached garage every night. Kept the bug population in the garden down as mentioned earlier.
Someone once tried to break into the garage....
My Dad thought it was pretty funny, but we could still smell it a few weeks later when visiting.
I used to want a skunk as a pet at that age.
