Aside from their defense response, are skunks generally chill animals? I never thought about it but I wonder how well they get along with humans if domesticated (or at least, raised in captivity).
You can get the spray glands surgically removed and after that they’re somewhere between a cat and a ferret. I’ve always wanted one, but they’re illegal here on account of being scavengers.

Some people do keep them as pets (with their smell-producing glands removed)
I met the sweetest skunk ever at a city Halloween event.
In my experience they’re generally pretty shy, they’re chill as long as nobody makes any sudden moves.

I had one walk into my house, check out my bedroom closet and leave, all while I was moving in some furniture one evening
