Get a load of the organization that says skunks make great pest!
People from as far away New Mexico and the Netherlands were in northern Ohio over the weekend, getting up close and personal with skunks. One skunk owner says some folks may not understand, but skunks make great pets and are soft and cuddly. She thinks having a rat or a lizard or a snake is weird. Polecat enthusiasts gathered in North Ridgeville, about 25 miles southwest of Cleveland, for the sixth annual Skunkfest. The event raises money for Skunk Haven, a nonprofit group that saves and rehabilitates injured skunks. And, pet skunks compete in beauty, personality and costume contests. By the way, they all pass the sniff test, because those domesticated skunks are deodorized.

Dallas police are investigating a glitch that resulted in the loss of one of their “bait” cars. Sometime between Friday and Monday, a car outfitted with cameras, tracking capabilities and a remote engine-kill system designed to catch auto thieves was stolen somewhere in Dallas – police would not say where. They would not identify the make and model of the car, so that if it is recovered, it can remain part of the undercover fleet. It’s likely that the thieves do not know they have stolen a car that, if police can remotely repair the tracking glitch, auto theft detectives could still possibly locate.
