Or, as described in Don Enrique Dalton of the Azusa by C.C. Baker:
Here was a rancheria of those Indians nominally attached to Mission San Gabriel, called' in the Shoshonean
Asuksagna, and in the Serrano dialect Ashukshavit, meaning, lit-
erally, skunk place. It was doubtless so named from the fact that
skunks infested the hill which in pioneer days was occupied by the
adobe dwelling and extensive ranch buildings, displaced now by
Citrus Union High School in the present Azusa.
I had a skunk in my trash barrel a couple months ago. I whacked it with a flashlight. Today I tried another tactic to rid my yard of skunks....drugs.
Animal Control now refuses to take trapped skunks and possums....saying they are ''natural'' to this area of LA County. Years ago they did take them to their disposal yard. Seems like the PC culture now includes animal pests....they have ''rights'' now.

I guess the homeless are now also ''natural'' to LA County.
