Pet Skunks. A wonderful article.

And they seem to be legal in Massachusetts, with permit. So... what's my excuse for not getting a pet skunk?

UPDATE: The catch-22 is that it seems to be next to impossible to obtain a permit. Uuuuuu... :-(

But instead, it is lawful to keep Dromedary Camel without any special permit :) Why not get one?

Ну, он пахнет по-другому и большой очень :-) :-) :-)

На самом деле, у меня давно была мечта именно скунса завести дома. Поскольку психиатора у меня нет, то не у кого спросить, "почему скунса?" ;-) Спасибо ленинской партии родному правительству, что оно бережет нас от нашего безумия ;-)

Ha, I wrote that article.

That took many hundreds of hours.. but it was all worth it. Actually much of it was pulled from Jane Bone's "Skunk Stuff". I attempted to legalize them in Virginia through the organization Virginians for Domestic Skunks, but those efforts have mostly been futile, due to the unavailability of an approved rabies vaccine for skunks.

Nice article, thanks !

In Massachusetts, the link above says:

"Permits in this category are issued only for certain scientific, educational, commercial, or other specific reasons, (See 321 CMR 2.12). Applicants must be able to demonstrate that they are actively engaged in the activity for which they have applied for or received a permit.

Permits are not issued for keeping these animals as pets."

Do you know of any publications relevant to a situation like this ?
