Goin Back to Cali

Posted by Sookie / January 12, 2007

120107_skunkfromcali.jpgYou can't blame the little guy for wanting to head south to warmer weather, especially when it wasn't his intention to hitch a ride to Toronto in the back of a truck anyway. Problem is no one will take him. Any other animal and it wouldn't be an issue, but for this smelly stowaway going back to Cali is proving a tough challenge. A one-way ticket could cost as much as US$6,000.

Though he appears friendly, the Toronto Wildlife Centre can't release the skunk because he could spread disease, but getting him across the border might be a huge problem too. Let's hope some big-hearted Torontonians come to his rescue. Anyone headed to Lalaland?

This is a tough situation. Animal-lover or not, risking a road trip with a skunk is serious business. I can't imagine anyone is going to step up any time soon.

it's possible that it's one of the cutest things i've seen in a VERY long time.

i'd have a hard time letting it go.

i'm weird like that.

my cousin had a pet skunk lo these many moons ago, but once they were old enough he got it neutered and de-scented at the same time.
