Hear, hear!

And I live in a woods, with skunks, racoons, opossums, foxes, you name it often getting into the fenced areas (where they can run into people and pets). I deal with it just fine and have never had to kill any of them, though I'll admit I've come *very* close to it. Who knows, tonight might be the night I have to, but it'd be because I *had* to, to protect myself or mine.

*IF* that's true (other critters don't suffer ill effects from eating gum), it sounds like another really nasty way to go

Pain and suffering are pain and suffering, whether experienced by some skunk or by your most beloved [human]- and pain and suffering suck.
