1 less idiot breeder out there! If he let the Shunk be he would be alive now..
Pity……
Hard to imagine this being an ‘accident’ & that 400 lbs. worth of the most efficient killers on earth couldn’t successfully kill him & he was able to continue his charmed life unharmed, bless him.
Speaking of the little skunk, of course.
