BTW Armenk let us know if any legal action is taken against you. Also, all armenk has to do is say the skunk could've been alive after it was in the pool. It's not like he was responsible to check the skunk's pulse, for all he knows it could've walked away or another animal could've eaten it during the night.

He should have left it in the cage while Animal Control showed up to properly tend to the animal.

I have to agree with Nik on this as much as i hate to admit it.

Pretty much par for the course of an average "Nik involved" thread.

Dude, whatever,
I'm not defending him, sometimes I don't agree with Nik sometimes I do. Thats the great part about having a view point, and people having opposite view points.

As well, I see alot more substance in Nik's posts then I do in yours.

hehe what you guys fail to understand is...

animal control would have put it to sleep, cut off its nads to check for rabies AND charge the OP 50 bucks.

 

[novasatori]

What do you think animal control would have done with it?

They can't relocate it and I find it hard to believe they would have gone around the corner and released it back into a residential area.

LEGAL STATUS
The California Fish and Game Code classifies skunks as nongame mammals. Nongame mammals that are injuring or threatening property may be taken by the owner or tenant of the premises at any time and in any legal manner. Fish and Game regulations prohibit the relocation of skunks and other wildlife without written permission of the Department of Fish and Game. The prevalence of rabies in the skunk population is one of several major reasons for denying relocation. For further information on the legal status of skunks, contact the California Department of Fish and Game.

Based on this, I feel that whoever called the police on him needs to mind their own business and GET A FVCKING LIFE.

QFT. Why would you care any way, its a frickin' skunk on his property - he had every right to do what he did if he did in fact do it.

Wow, that's fair. Given Nik's attitude AND the insults that Nik uses against members in the past.

Which parts would that be? The ones where he ignore the law and says it's totally opposite of what it is? Or where he's calling the OP names -the weakestlink (sic), "fscking douche bag", idiot, "asshole"? Some real "substance" there...

 

[neutralizer]

Oh BTW, ArmenK, what did the mods say to you?

Agreed. Nik is largely inflammatory and isn't contributing much of substance to this thread.

Animal Control can't relocate it? For christ's sake they're part of the government. They can do whatever they goddamn want to. They DO relocate animals. It's their job. What part of "Animal Control" do you not understand?

I am no animal control expert BUT I would think that animal control would want to put the animal down, and check it for rabies, that way if the skunk DID have rabies, a notice can be circulated among animal control operators so that any more skunks in the area can be terminated on site.

Thats how they do things, imho. they wouldnt relocate it.

What part of skunks carry rabies and them obviously not wanting them relocated by virtue of having to have written permission to do so, do you not understand? Maybe in your "feel good" mind they'll relocate it. The law as quoted says basically, kill it, you may not relocate it. Why do you have any inkling that they'd do otherwise? Because that's what you'd LIKE them to do?

If that's true, that's pretty fvcking sh|tty. Why the hell do we care if it has rabies if it's dead?

Do we just assume that ALL skunks and other wildlife have rabies and kill them all too?

This is true.

So which part did you lie about? Were you lying when you said it walked off? Or were you lying when you said that you let it drown in the pool?

1) it walked out of the cage
2) it walked around the house and into the pool
3) I pulled it out with a net within 30 seconds
4) it was gone the next morning

So what about the picture of the skunk in the net? He wasn't awake. He looked dead or knocked the fvck out.

So either you DID give him the pills (cruelty) or you he drown by himself, made up a lie, and you're still lying.

So with is it? Worthless liar or cruelty to animals? Either way, don't let the door hit your ass on the way out.

 

[HBalzer]

In any case it is animal controls job to determine the best course of action.
