>Actualy you can have them with an Exotic Animal Permit in most of the
states which you have to apply for and show proof that you are capable
of keeping said animal.... On the matter of skunks you have to know
that they are harder to keep than what most realize including the
desented ones and those of you who are thinking that it will be cute to
have one and is majorly squeemish needs to know this... Most skunks has
a condition that once in a while their intestines are pushed out of
their bodies..... It's not nessesarily life threatining but once in a
while you may need to help them with it (KNOWING THIS FROM FIRST HAND
EXPERIENCE)..... But in my opinion if you are wanting to get one for a
pet I would talk to someone that has experience raising them and
several of the clubs and organizations online before you get in over
your head on the matter....
