New York’s Finest rescued two of New York’s stinkiest — a pair of wayward baby skunks — from the Castle Hill subway station in The Bronx, police said Friday.

The little stinkers were spotted at the 6-train station on Westchester Avenue before Sgt. Carlos Bernard, and his Bronx transit cops saved the critters with the help of an MTA worker.

1. I had a skunk as a pet when I was a kid. They're very sweet little critters

and beneficial and harmless.

Here's a tip if you ever meet a skunk. If he starts stamping his front feet, that's the sign he wants to spray you. Stand in place and start stamping your feet just like he's doing. He'll think you're going to spray him and will toddle on off.

Works every time.

doh doh doh doh doh doh doh doh, love skunks!

2. Phew

That's quite the risk, but I trust you.

I usually walk the opposite way

3. around here they are carriers of rabies

they also kill chickens. I just got 7 of them out from under my house this week. dogs got sprayed 3 separate times. I agree the babies are cute, but I do not agree about harmless.
