Mass murder is a pretty drastic solution. There are alternatives!
Baby skunks are majorly cute. Lots of people are majorly ignorant and suckers for "cute" (remember the Brazilian rats passed off as poodles?).
Just an option for consideration:
1. Be nice to the skunks; make them comfortable.
2. Then, bait them out with some tasty morsels and trap 'em. If they've started puberty already, trim down any bushy parts.
3. Put 'em in a basket and take the kids down to a supermarket that you don't frequent, with a sign reading, "Sylvester Puddy Tat Kittens $10 each - Need Good Homes".
4. Feel good in knowing that you spared the lives of innocent critters who will be in good loving homes; skunks adapt easily (plus, they're crafty).
Not an original idea; I jacked it from Pepe Le Pew, but it'll work and you'll pocket a little cash to boot.
