My father talks about a guy he knew who found a baby skunk that it's mother had been hit by a car. He took it in, had a vet remove the scent glands and kept it as a pet. It was supposedly quite friendly and affectionate and a great pet.

Oh totally agree. I've known a guy who's had a couple skunks also and said the same. He's a developer in my hometown and raised anything from skunks, baby deer, squirrels, raccoons, rabbits, or whatever else he finds displaced. I was there once and one of the squirrels ran right up my body and sat on my shoulder before I could comprehend what was going on.

That sounds like what goes on at my house. Here is a shot of a batch of rescue squirrels on my son a few years ago.

One of the favorite stories I ever heard was from a super old guy, dad had set a live trap for something he was trying to catch, I cant remember what. He was telling some old guys about it at the local old guy hangout. He said "I dont know what I'm gonna do if I catch a skunk." The old guy said " I used to run a trap like. My neighbor told me if you pick up a skunk by the tail they can't spray you. Well that was a damn lie."
