A Wigan woman has launched an appeal to locate her pet skunk which went missing on the day of her father’s funeral.

The skunk called Slug vanished from his enclosure in Higher Ince without triggering any CCTV.

While there were initial sightings, the last known one was on December 19 and it is feared he may have been captured.

Slug is chipped, and Jodie and her family are heartbroken, describing his loss as feeling like a missing child.

People in the area are urged to check outbuildings, gardens and under hedges.

Skunk may be wet and hungry and while he is friendly he may bite out of fear.
