Brandon faces rabid skunk outbreak
Two cases confirmed as sick animals chase horses, attack broomsticks

Skunks that should be hunkering down to hibernate in southern Manitoba are instead braving low temperatures to hound horses, attack inanimate objects and charge at people.
A rabies outbreak has hit Brandon, prompting police in Manitoba's second largest city to issue a rare warning this week to beware bizarrely behaving skunks.
"On New Year's Eve when we came home, there was a skunk chasing the horses in the pasture," recalled Barb Vinthers, who has an acreage at the city's outskirts and a horse farm as a neighbour.
"We've been here 35 years," she added, "I've never seen a rabid skunk. Don't want to see another one. They're very aggressive."
