oakenguyMy boss's daughter found a baby skunk wandering around completely lost and alone in South Boston! (She looked around the neighborhood for a long time trying to find some sign of the mom, but no luck). It's barely larger than her palm, still too young to spray, totally defenceless (and adorable).
When she called the Animal Rescue League they said that a) it's illegal for her to have it, and b) if she gave it to them they'd shoot it because it takes far too much effort to train a young skunk to fend for itself. Oh, and her landlord's coming to the house tomorrow to fix the roof, and he's already threatened to kick her out if she gets one more pet.
Oy. Time for another panicky search on the internet. Does anyone out there have any advice?
