Imagine being sprayed by Pepé Le Pew and an army of his malodorous friends. You'd rush home and soak in a tub of tomato juice to try to get rid of the smell, right? Now imagine a stench that has nothing on what those white-striped stinkers can douse — that's one weapon being used for crowd control in Israel, and it's coming soon to the United States.
The Israel Defense Forces have been waging war against rioters with a nonlethal — albeit truly putrid — product called skunk water, or just skunk since 2008. The spray, which was developed by Israeli firm Odortec, is said to be 100 percent organic and harmless, and consists of an extremely foul-smelling liquid with the viscosity of water that can be dispersed over a large area using a water cannon. Odortec says the overpowering stench of Skunk drives rioters away — and keeps them away, "effectively shutting down escalating situations."
Skunk was first used in August 2008 in the Palestinian village of Ni'lin in the West Bank. Border police squirted the liquid at demonstrators from containers carried on their backs. Since then, it's been used regularly on water cannons against Palestinian neighborhoods in occupied East Jerusalem. But Israel has also started used it against its own citizens, as in the case of Ultra-Orthodox Jews protesting compulsory military service in 2014.

But it's not just Israeli police using Skunk water — it's now available to U.S. police forces, as well, thanks to U.S. distributor Mistral Security. In November 2014, after violent protests in nearby Ferguson, Missouri, stemming from the fatal shooting of 18-year-old Michael Brown, documents suggest the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department ordered several canisters of Skunk.

I like that idea! Keeps them from reproducing!
“Now all they have to do is add orange dye to it.. “.
I’ve long thought that we should, as soon as an illegal sets foot in USA, that a TATTOO should be made on them that lasts for years and be in an obvious place like the back of the hand...Repeat offenders easily spotted this way too...
Use drones & mist them with this product & pepper spray & bear spray.
You re correct. I quit using them because of that. I lived on a septic & was told NOT to flush them down the toilet. Tried to bury it all once, and dog found it.
You know the rest of that story!!!
Arrest them and they get brought into the country and have their time in court.
Big mistake.
Point the way south and say “Bye”
