Skunks live in my neighbourhood, Toronto, Canada, though are not a common sight. We usually smell them first. Mostly blind, if they come close, just freeze and wait until they walk away. There’s really nothing to fear from skunks.
Due to their natural aroma, skunks have no natural enemies. They wander around at will, eating insects and plants, minding their own business. There is really no reason to kill one.
