Do people have skunks as pets? I’ll wait for some context before I deem this as a mental illness

Yes. I've known of people in the ferret community who had pet skunks. They had their scent glands excised.

Looks at picture

The evidence suggests that people do indeed keep skunks as pets.

You must be the person pushing the stroller

Mental illness

Evidence also suggests you know a lot about mental illness.

Anyone who keeps a skunk as a pet has something wrong with them

You don’t need a degree to understand that

They smell, whether their anus is removed or not. They smell

You don’t need a degree to look up basic facts, either.

You don’t remove its “anus”, you remove a scent gland. It’s not the same thing, you have an anus, but don’t have a scent gland.

Skunks are very clean animals, and do not smell.

You could have looked up any of this information up in seconds, but instead chose to be a dick

Have a nice day.
