How can i kill a skunk or keep it from eating my ducks?

recently, a skunk has been eating my ducks. i havn't seen it, but i know it has been there because i can smell it, and my brother recognized the tracks (as strange as that sounds. -.-';). is there a way that i can kill it or at least keep it away from my ducks and other small animals?How can i kill a skunk or keep it from eating my ducks?
While you're at it, you should really kill all predatory animals, too (even though skunks are NOT predatory and not responsible for your ducks' death).





By your logic, a skunk deserves to die for the purely hypothetical and unfounded assumption that it's eating your... ducks. Skunks do not eat ducks. They eat insects. You smell a skunk and see dead animals. The two MUST be connected, right?How can i kill a skunk or keep it from eating my ducks?
Skunks don't eat ducks, it may be eating the eggs, but won't eat them after they hatch or are grown. A skunk may be in the area, which is why you can smell it and see it's tracks, but it is something else eating your ducks.





It could be a wide variety of things eating the ducks, from coyotes, to raccoons, to weasels, to minks. It really depends on what it is that is eating them as to how you would get ride of it. You could always get a dog to stay with and protects the ducks at night to make sure they stay safe. You can also get a live trap and try and get whatever is killing them.
Call the vet or the zoo. They'll have a way to set a trap.
Are your ducks loose? You should call animal control and tell them about your problem. I'm sure they'll try to catch it.
