When setting a have-a-heart trap, it is always wise to attach a LONG cord to the release mechanism, just in case you catch something you don’t want to.

Marcus, That sounds preferable to Trapping the little devil. They get really mean if you get in their way.
So clearly a little tactful negotiation is preferable , as I recall my advisor at that time flipped a coin to determine
who would have to approach the cage trap and release him.
I lost.

“At some point I saw a skunk about 50 feet in front of me. If I had had a rifle I'd have made a hasty retreat. But instead I aimed carefully and dispatched the skunk. The last days of the wild west.”
I once had a hot tub which I used mostly to lower my blood pressure after day (after day) of frustration at work. There may have been some drinking involved too. A common visitor late at night was a neighborhood skunk who’d poke its nose over the side. Alarming at first but I came to look forward from visits from that little guy.
Not sure how it works in to Vladimyr’s metaphor.
