We found a skunk!

[Galatia]

These baby skunks were kinda lucky they found you, mr.CB

One died. But the other one is strong like a bear. He eats so much and he's shitting all over the place. Still hasn't sprayed us yet. We think we found someone at the humane society who will take over his care and then release him into the wild.

It's pretty cute. Keep it as a pet.

In some states, its actually legal, but the scent glands have to be removed, and you need a permit. But thier caretaking rules are a little complex, especially with the food and housebreaking.

How did it died and what did you do with it?

Interesting fact about skunks. You don't want to shoot one with your mouth open. I learned this the hard way.

we had 2 hamsters and a ginea pigs in my dorm, they smelled like a horse, and the only fun we got out of it was throwing it at people.

[CelestialBadger]

We gave it to the humane society.

But the woman we gave it to seemed really nice, and she said she didn't mind releasing him in her yard after he's able to take care of himself.

Hello Wikipedia. I guess George Bush doesn't like little terrorists gasing the place.

 

[CelestialBadger]

I was out of town when the one died. I'm not sure what my aunt and uncle did with it.
