And I called the Waterloo Region Health Unit, informing them that the dead skunk had no odour and might therefore be rabid.
The woman who answered my call said they do not pick up dead skunks and that I should contact the local humane society.
Then I called the Canadian Food Inspection Agency in Guelph (the CFIA website for Kitchener has neither a phone number nor e-mail address) and the lady there said they used to pick up and test roadkill skunks for rabies, but no longer do so.
She suggested I try the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs.
I didn't. But I wonder what might happen if the skunk is actually rabid and a dog decides to lunch on the corpse.
I guess these people don't really care about rabies.
