Why do people still consider domesticly bred skunks wild animals?
When there is evidence that they were domesticated when Christopher Columbus was around, possibly even earlier?
(article from wiki:) Skunks are native to the Americas and are noted in historical accounts of Christopher Columbus. Skunks were reportedly kept as pets by some Native American nations. Farmers valued domesticated skunks for their ability to kill rodents and other pests. Skunk pelts were also used for coats and frequently passed off as marten fur. Before the 1950s, they were sold under ambiguous names such as "American sable" and "Alaskan sable".[2] The courts finally ruled that the customer must be informed of any purchase that contained skunk parts. The skunk fur market subsequently collapsed. Since then, skunks have been mainly bred as pets.
I don't know. That doesn't make sense. I hate it when people or a group of people say that we should not handle "wild animals" its as if they think that because they know about them and how to handle them that they should be the only ones to have them. They are no more their's than they are ours.
