text: My hometown let's people have chickens in town. I was against it. They have  brought  bring all kinds of critters to town. I watched a guy fire about twenty pellets at a skunk in a trap that was caught near his coop. It was brutal. He told me he has had skunk problems all year. They like the eggs. I suggested a quicker way to kill the skunk, but he thought it was too inhumane. Oh well.
