In the other post about the dead skunk, there was a photo showing another skunk that was not there originally, cuddled around the first one, probably her baby. If someone is poisoning these animals, please stop. Besides being cruel and exposing pet cats and dogs to the poison, these scavenger animals perform useful services such as eating cockroaches, dead or live rats and mice, rotting garbage, etc.
