How can skunks be helpful to people?

Answer 1

Well, Skunks help the environment in many ways but one very common way is by eating harmful insects. Many farmers don't know this but they find that a "pest" has been in tomato and carrot field, they automatically think that it was out of spite. This is the exact opposite. A skunk's diet consist of mostly insects. To be exact, 70%. When skunk's eat out a farmers plants, they eat the ones that have dangerous insects in them that can seriously harm us with diseases and other bacteria. So if you are a farmer and just someone who likes gardening and you see some of your precious plants missing, don't blame the skunks but in fact thank them.
