Im all about animals. As far as skunks or any other wild animals out there people have more diseases than animals. So why dont we do something about that instead of shooting the animals. Then problems arent as big as what people make it out to be. Animals have feeling to, just like us.

Just so you know, trapper - "Arkansas Game and Fish regulations prohibit taking some wild animals as pets. Skunks and bats are prohibited as pets if taken in the wild. Any animal taken from the wild and domesticated is dangerous, and the experience often ends in disaster for the animal or the adoptive family." -Arkansas Department of Health

"Do not feed, touch or adopt wild animals" But if you want a pet skunk or coon in Arkansas you have to take it from the wild. No captive breeding here

""All dogs and cats in Arkansas are required to be vaccinated against rabies by a licensed veterinarian"" That law is another useless intrusion of government. Almost every feed store in Arkansas sells Rabies Vaccines & almost every hunter that has dogs buys it there . Now since I gave my dog the exact same shot as a Vet would have is he considered not to have his shots ? You better tell the feed stores of this LAW as I know the one here in town sells about 40 a month
