    I don't think they'd be my first choice for pets somehow. However, if they don't feel threatened in any way then they shouldn't spray so maybe they do make good pets for some folks.

    I have had them live under my house a couple of times --not my choice though. I have heard of some folks having them for pets. What I heard was usually 1 or 2... but 50?! I don't think so.

    I don't think that would work with dogs and cats in the house.

    I think it sounds kind of like a skunk sanctuary/"skunk" pound for unwanted pets. I think they are kind of cute, but are they ever destructive. Between them and the raccoons in the corn patch... whoo whee can they do some major damage.

    Cool. Skunks are awesome! I once got to cuddle a (de-scented) skunk. She was the sweetest little thing. And her fur smelled almost sweet. I wanted to take her home with me *lol*
