The littler buggers are mean...even if you’ve had the stink glands removed, why on earth would you want one as a pet?

Not all of them are mean. We had one that was great. I don’t know if he would have liked bacon, but he sure was a ham!

If a domesticated skunk is raised from a kit and properly socialized they can be very affectionate pets.

Wild kits haven't been selectively bred for docility so they are hit and miss. Regardless, I disapprove of den robbing.

Adult wild skunks are usually very aggressive, yeah. If they weren't they would have made it adulthood.
