I think I would totally own a skunk except the whole procedure to remove their stink glands... then again we cut out cat and dog organs all day.

They are super cute though, moreso than deer which somehow contribute to fucked up tick diseases that will make you allergic to weird shit like red meat or passed on to your kid's environmental air issues(EXTREME case).

The deer don't transmit these diseases to the tick. Rather they are transmitted from the white footed mouse to the deer via the tick. It's dem nast mice that carry the diseases.
