Description

We saw a skunk, in the middle of the day just now, walking slowly and erratically outside of our house, walking in and out of traffic and at times falling over. He seems quite ill and possibly rabid. A "helpful" Samaritan came by and got the skunk into a garbage can that was out on the curb in front of 97 Clinton Avenue and now, it's sitting in there.

We called the non-emergency police line who helpfully informed me there was nothing any officer could do and to call 203-468-5261 for wildlife control. This number goes directly to a voicemail that is full and can not receive messages.

We and our neighbors really aren't sure what else to do about this. The skunk is likely still alive, the can absolutely reeks and it's sitting outside of their house.

Thoughts? Suggestions? Help!!
