Why do skunks get run over ?

Question

Why do skunks get run over ?

Answer 1

because they are in the way

Answer 2

because they are in heat in the mating season, and just like humans, they dont use  good sense

Answer 3

Because they were not taught by their moms and pops to cross the street, when it is  clear.  Seriously, I had a friend in California driving alone at night, and there at a short distance ahead, were two tiny closely-positioned light. He was driving a Volkswagen and before he knew it, he slammed into a deer, which was "dazzled" by the oncoming light so it stopped. He was lucky his vehicle did not slam into a nearby tree, afer braking hard But that was a horrible experience!

Answer 4

Because cars drive too fast. My personal observation is that either the skunks are getting smarter or else we've managed to put a major dent in their population.

Answer 5

Because they go in the street.
