A Surfeit Of Skunks In The UK!

there were thought to be several hundred skunks kept as pets in the UK, but in 2007 it became illegal to remove their stink glands, so it is thought irresponsible owners have released them into the wild, sightings of wild skunks began coming in from the Royal Forest of Dean, it has now been established that a colony called a surfeit has become established there, first grey squirrels, now skunks, I suppose raccoons will be next!
