There are ways to remove the scent glands, and some people do so. The biggest downside is that there is no approved rabies vaccine for them. If your skunk bites someone, you will be required to put it down so they can take a brain sample to test for rabies. I guess in this case it was more of a wild skunk that you had befriended, but I thought it was interesting to note. I don't like skunks, but a friendly hot dog eating one is okay in my book. Sorry to hear about its passing....and yes, I do know too much about these things. I went through an exotic pet phase when I was a freshman in high school. Fortunately my parents were smart enough not to indulge me. For all I know, however, this information might not be current. Disclaimer: always research skunks before buying one.</blockquote>
