I am also team skunk, although I might have misrepresented my views by wearing an owl shirt to the meeting (the skunks natural predator):

Epilogue: Mammals are fur-bearing, warm-blooded animals that birth live babies (not eggs.).......tell that to the MONOTREMES KPH.

Ok, the plan is coalescing on contracting fur trappers, who cannot charge for their trapping.

@drjess.bsky.socialOct 15, 2026, 10:21 PM

Remember the skunks will NOT be removed to some skunk haven.

HOW do we put together a comprehensive plan across the 3 neighborhoods??? This just feels like they are blaming the 300 blocks of Kenwick.

Pro tip #2: No licenced professional is relocating skunks, they be meeting their maker. BUT you CAN hire a licensed fur trapper......but they still aren't relocating them.

Pro tip: put a radio under your porch or shed so skunks find another home. Seems like you might also want to find a new home if that is how you need to live your life.

Update: the HORSE got rabies from a SKUNK!

@drjess.bsky.socialOct 15, 2026, 10:05 PM

Once again, the moral of the story is keep your cats INSIDE!

@drjess.bsky.socialOct 15, 2026, 10:04 PM

Important update, rabies vaccine no longer given in the butt (muscles).

@drjess.bsky.socialOct 15, 2026, 9:59 PM

Last year, one rabid horse exposed 14 people to rabies. Vaccinate your horses, Kentucky.

@drjess.bsky.socialOct 15, 2026, 9:46 PM

We just got clarification that looking at a skunk with rabies does not mean you have been exposed to rabies.

@drjess.bsky.socialOct 15, 2026, 9:43 PM

Ok, do not send your brains via USPS, they will turn to goo.

@drjess.bsky.socialOct 15, 2026, 9:42 PM

Now we are talking about bat brains!!! Should I disclose my expertise?

@drjess.bsky.socialOct 15, 2026, 9:40 PM

In Kentucky we only have bat and skunk rabies...racoon rabies stops along the Appalachian Mountains thanks to a cool treatment program run out of USDA (or maybe FWL, we have moved on to the next slide).

@drjess.bsky.socialOct 15, 2026, 9:31 PM

The vet from the CDC is now here and giving us information about rabies.

@drjess.bsky.socialOct 15, 2026, 9:23 PM

One woman is being reasonable and telling people to keep their cats indoors and not leave cat food outside. But now it seems to be the restaurants' faults.

@drjess.bsky.socialOct 15, 2026, 9:19 PM

"Can we relocate all the skunks?" "But is that fair to the animal?"

@drjess.bsky.socialOct 15, 2026, 9:17 PM

Next concern, it is going to decrease our property values!!
