Say what???Come on LAG,,you set yourself wide open for a burn
I'll let someone else have the honor

Scunks will spray when threatened,be it a city scunk or one in the country,City skunks are alittle more domesticated as they live in a different environment than their trailerpark buddies.

I'll take the honour. Skunks don't stink (depends how close you are) they have a gland that emits their lovely odor. We had pet a skunk, (gland removed of course), racoons, minks, and other assorted creatures. Most were far nicer than humans.

My only run in with a skunk happened in Petawawa while on a recce patrol. Don't know who was scared more my section or the skunk.

City skunks will be fairly used to lots of people so they likely won't spray. Doesn't mean they can't. If you make one feel threatened then be prepared for a long bath in tomato juice!

Don't bother with the tomato juice. If you're wearing clothes when sprayed, pop your clothes in the washer ASAP and take a long shower with LOTS of soap. This is from personal experience.

If the spray actually gets onto your skin and soap doesn't do the job, use tea instead. Growing up, we had a family of skunks living under our back garbage stand. My mother and sister, the animal lovers, wouldn't let me and my dad do anything permanent to get rid of them. Mom and my sister also wouldn't go outside to wash our collie once or twice a year when she got sprayed (any guesses who did have to go wash the dog?) We used tomato juice the first time and tea every other time. Tea is also easier to clean up afterwards. Tea and then washing with soap afterwards would get 95% of the smell out of a very thick collie's coat (from way too much personal experience.)

all posts above are BULLSH*T.

neither city skunks or their country kin will spray you.

it's all a scam, perpetrated by the media.

they are just a harmless hybrid of an oreo cookie and a cat.

they are easily domesticated ... as a matter of fact the easiest way to domesticate a skunk, is to corner it and just pick it up!!!!

trust me!!!

 

[panzer-jager911]

Uh oh. No Santa Claus visits for you this Christmas

 

[dbrw42]

If I ever get sprayed by a skunk I will be sure to call you. Dr. skunk rescue inc. LOL

Hmm, having to take you outside to wash you all over with tea, then take you quicky into the shower to wash you all over repeatedly with soap?

I wonder if I can Fed-ex some skunks out your way mucho quick?

skunks carry rabies and all can spray if threatened. They don't make good pets either. They just wander in from Stanley Park to graze off the garbage and terrorize unsuspecting citizens.

And that weird smell around Vancouver isn't actually from skunks, or from cabbage either, it's from the BC bud grow-shows on every second block

 

[Mchatte]

Skunks are disease laden wildlife damaging animals. They will hunt down bird eggs, birds and other of mother natures wanted creatures. They do it for food and not just to piss us off but they can be extremely destructive.

This summer, I dusted 5 of them with my 12 gauge. If they are instantly DOA, they do not release their patented Pepe Le Pew perfume. Of the 5 I dusted, 3 were just so cute tiny little things. Ba-bye Pepe!

To answer the question of the original poster, any skunk will spray you. Au contraire mon frere, they do not come in scented and unscented selections.

I dunno if any of you other guys have noticed this but I've noticed at times there will be a weird smell coming through my ventilation in my car when I pass by an area of the city. It smells kinda like weed and sometimes can be very strong. I always assumed this was due to a frightened skunk that was trying to cross a road.
