I wish the City of Somerville would do more about the skunk problem we seem to be facing.  One of these days I am going to get attacked by a skunk, no question.  At least twice a week while I'm out walking the dog I see a skunk scurry across the road.  I am not a smart man but I know enough to know that skunk + excited dog = smelly dog and owner. 

I remember when I was a kid once my dog got sprayed by a skunk.  My dad had to wash him with tomato juice to get the stench off him.  So, if I get sprayed, that is my plan.  I have bottles of tomato juice read to go and everything.  Because I know it is going to happen one day.  It's just a matter of time before the little pup thinks that black and white thing running around over there is a chew toy and finds out the hard way that the real world is a tough place.

Also, skunks love to dig through trash and spread it out all over the place.   That is bad enough but even if they didn't, the occasional putrid skunk odor drifting through my window is enough to make me want to hurl.  

Half the problem is people leaving trash all over their properties.  That is for another rant...  Also I think they breed in the MaxPak site near the train tracks if you guys know where that is. When they turn that into condos then where are all the skunks gonna go???  Answer: buy tomato juice now before there is a run on it!

There are skunks in Somerville? I thought it was just a hard cold city, but look at the nature! Little cute critters, little cute yards, and little cute somervillians.

In the animal kingdom, even the fearless predators don't attack creatures with great defensive mechanisms (e.g. poisonous). That's because they learn, for example, that "eating poisonous frog" = "bad".

Maybe you should unleash (!) your dog, let it attack that skunk, and get your tomato juice tub ready. It'll only happen once...maybe?

Somerville is like wildlife refuge. I am right there with you bigman, the skunks have got to go. I'm all for forming a vigilante skunk busting team. We'll get flame throwers and everything.

Squirrels are another problem. I have them living in my attic right now. The guys who live above me came home one day and -- I swear to God -- there was a squirrel sitting on their couch. We had to chase it around the room and the thing was freaking out... finally it went back into the wall through a hole behind a radiator.
