"We are just passing this information along. Fortunately, we have not had to test it. Mel, our former Caretaker, inadvertently captured a skunk when trying to rescue a lost and frightened cat. When he observed the animal in the cage had a pointed nose and was uncharacteristically marked with broad black and white stripes, he realized that he did not have a cat in the trap!"
"....Fortunately, it did not emit its usual 'calling card.' "
"A biologist from the West Virginia Department of Agriculture tested the following mixture by dousing a road-kill skunk. The 'fragrant' animal became completely deodorized.
1 quart of 3% hydrogen peroxide formula (from a pharmacy)
1/4 cup baking soda
1 tsp. liquid soap
Mix together and wash animal, being careful to keep mixture out of animal's eyes, nose, and mouth. Rinse with tap water.
