longgone

Repeatedly sprayed by skunks. Worst attack when I was walking out my own front door. Infestation of skunks, raccoons, opossums, and feral cats. Every evening residents of one house leave cat-food and table-leftovers in the middle of sidewalk at multiple locations throughout the neighborhood. i.e., in front of other people's homes; without even asking permission. Populations of skunks and other vermin has exploded. This makes walking in the neighborhood extremely hazardous, particularly for dog owners. Rotting food all around neighborhood is itself a health issue. Presence of dozens of feral cats means that native songbirds have essentially been exterminated in the whole neighborhood. This has been going on for years now and just gets worse all the time. Can this be right?
