	That doesn't REALLY work.  There is a molecule in tomato
juice "odor" that locks the same "smell receptors" that skunk
miasma does.

	Any decent vetrinarian should sell pump bottles of
"Skunk-Kleen", which will neutralize both the activated chemical
and the acetate that reactivates the stink when exposed to water.

	Vets tend to charge about $20/bottle (half pint or so),
Trapping, Dog Training, Camping, etc. type catalogs usually sell
the same bottle for about $15.

	If you live in an area with a high Mephitis Mephitis (<G> -
SKUNK) populations, it's well worth the investment.
