We can't own them either, legally. Yet, there is a whole mess of them out in the yard living along the wash...and they are allowed to come up and spray the cats every now and then. I think they all have rabies, but they are very cute when the mamas are out with their little ones.
My goodness, I've never seen so many skunks before, especially in a home! They were so funny to watch. I enjoyed watching the guy walking so carefully so not to step on any, lol. Are skunks potty trainable? The floors did look clean...
