Assuming time, money, living situation, and the law wasn’t a factor. I’d love a skunk. I’d name her Oreo and i’d love her and she’d be my best friend.

    You don’t have to. You can train them not to spray as long as you get them as a kit. I’ve known a few people with skunks that they raised from babies that didn’t get their scent glands removed.

      Yeah I wouldn’t descent mine. I believe it would be unethical to surgically alter them to better suit humans. I want a skunk for the lovable, smelly floofball they are.
