The Skunk

Obviously we wish to teach our dogs to chew and otherwise mutilate skunks for many reasons. Number one, skunks are dangerous malefic creatures with terrible and awesome powers who, given the opportunity would surely destroy civilization as we know it. Number two, they smell bad. Number three, they don't have many friends so who would miss them anyway.

Lies!!!

Skunks really don't smell, they keep the stinky stuff locked up in their anal glands and don't express it except under extreme duress. After all.. there are quite a few skunks around that you never see... and how often do you smell them? Practically never... the few times you have smelled them were most likely due to being run over by a car.

Hell if I was run over by a car I'd probably express my anal gland too, if I had one. Since I don't I'd probably be wishing I had one... to make the bastard behind the wheel suffer for what he'd done. After all.. as you can imagine, the actual car that strikes a skunk is likely to be nearly undrivable for weeks or more.

They do have malefic powers.... but there's not much we can do about those... so why tempt fate.

Teaching dogs to attack and mutilate skunks is simply asking for trouble. Obviously its these sorts of thoughtless products that are leading to the inevitable downfall of society, regardless of the involvement of skunks and their magical powers.
