NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) – Something stinks in upper Manhattan.

Residents claim skunks have invaded Inwood and Washington Heights, roaming the streets surrounding Fort Tryon Park and stinking up the neighborhood.

“I tell my friends down in midtown or Hells Kitchen that there’s a skunk problem up here and they don’t believe it,” resident Mark Bailey said. “They’re in front of every building…they’re not just in the parks, they’re all over.” [...]

Do any FReepers have photo evidence of these alleged skunks?

Its probably just the smell from all the potheads in the neighborhood! ;^)

Just a pic of the sidewalks in harlam should prove evidence enough.

Those aren’t skunks they’re smelling, those are democRATS.

Diane Lane is from New York City and played a skunk in "Ladies and Gentlemen: The Fabulous Stains," but that was in her younger days.

I just knew as soon as I read the headlie this one would provide me with a much needed chuckle this morning. As usual Free Republic did not fail me.

Before all the hate NYC bashing begins, Harlem has been gentrified for years. Inwood is in the process. For some reason, Inwood attracts people from the opera world. I have friends who live there. It’s coming along.

There are dozens of parks there. I’m not at all surprised that they have problems with animals. After all, parts of London are overrun by fox.

They are attracted to all the gobij.

From another article:

“They are ground animals,” Horvath said. “But they will chew through the black plastic bags of trash.”

“The city should be out here giving out garbage cans,” Ackerman said.

Oh, sure, the CITY should give things away. How about residents being required to purchase and use trash cans?

Share the smellth. The skunks are undocumented and illegal plus they get along just fine with ‘Rats. NY elites love multicultural diversity of the au naturale of le skunks.

They didn’t have a skunk problem before Arkansas Billie opened his offices up there.

Many politicians, journos, and paparazzi in the area?

Skunks would actually improve the smell of the area. Maybe they need a stockyard, a landfill, and a sewer treatment plant there to help the skunks overcome the overwhelming stench of the democrat infestation.

Skunk juice is sweet perfume compared to the foul odor concentrated in that cesspool of Washington, DC.
