This seems like it could end badly.

Raccoons have been known to kill cats. Sounds like a cat lover.

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).

Some people do keep them as pets (with their smell-producing glands removed)

I met the sweetest skunk ever at a city Halloween event.

Anytime I see one it is just bopping around yards at 2 AM and seems pretty chill unless a loud noise spooks it and it vanishes. I wouldnt want to accidentally corner one near a fence though, Ive heard they are liberal with their spray

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

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.

2/3 of these animals aren’t in my country so I don’t know about the logistics but this seems really cool!

Racoons are smart and will get into anything. They frequently figure out lids and containers.

Skunks are cool, but if they spray, your whole neighborhood is going to stink for a while.

What does it smell like?

From a distance? Really good weed.

Up close and personal? I can’t even begin to describe it. It’s not even so much a smell as it feels like acid burning your nostrils and eyes and simultaneously stomach churning so you want to gag or vomit until it is cleaned off. I would rather fall face first in a fresh cow pie than be sprayed by a skunk again.

So you take a bad beer that’s been sitting in the sun for a few months. You know that smell?

Ramp that up a few orders of magnitude to the extent that it seizes up your breathing and makes your eyes tear up to the point of near blindness.
