Why do people give advice on pet skunks when they dont know anything about them?

I personally think that it would be useful for someone to get the facts on how an animal should be reared before they either own one or advise others on the matter. Skunks do not need claws removed, do not bite when reared properly and do not smell when they have their scent glands removed. My skunk is a beautiful, affectionate, entertaining, gentle and appreciative member of the family, and she occasionally will be a little stubborn or mischievous which just adds to her wonderful character. However people who have had very little experiences of skunks may disagree with this.Why do people give advice on pet skunks when they dont know anything about them?
Ahhh Phil - you could probably ask that question abt most any category here - - right? Just as in life, we have to sort through and find the correct or best suited advice... ok?Why do people give advice on pet skunks when they dont know anything about them?
I agree wholeheartedly!
I agree they can be really cute. We had one which we named ';Berkat Obadiah';. ';Berkat'; means blessing in Malay language. Obadiah is from the Bible. He was really cute and he played by doing a little acrobatic move, raising his hind legs and then jumped a few steps forward. He was de-scented. When young, we bathed him but as he grew we could not do that and his coat had a musky smell. He met my in-laws' dachund puppy which taught him to play-bite. Except B.O. (his initials) chomped hard and drew blood! So we let him be in his cage and let him out a little and he used a kitty litter box and ate cat food. But we could not bathe him, as I said. He would try to bite. He chomped on cockroaches when he found any! Then I got pregnant and the musky smell made my morning sickness worse so we gave him away to our friend. But you are right. Skunks are beautiful creatures and very amusing. They are expensive too when bought at a pet store.
So they can get the 2 points. I love skunks.
