Local vet had a fellow that worked for him, and this man had several pet skunks that he kept in a cage. The skunks had all been operated on and had the scent glands removed. One day the door to the cage was left open, and the skunks got out. He went around the neighborhood catching his skunks, and when he got them all, he counted them and had one too many. He just opened the door to the cage and let them all go. No need in taking chances he said.

True story, I heard him tell it.
