Dragoo Institute for the Betterment of Skunks and Skunk Reputations |
|
We at the Dragoo Institute do not recommend keeping pet skunks unless you know what you are getting into. It is our philosophy that skunks do not make good pets; what makes a good pet is a good pet caretaker. Here are just a few of the sites dedicated to pet skunks. These links are primarily to sites that are run by organizations or individuals associated with organizations that provide information related to pet skunks. We don't usually link to pages of people who have pet skunks in their care; there are way too many pages. As we take the time to find more, or we are made aware of others, we will link to them.
American Domestic Skunk Association Awesome Skunks and Morgan Horses
People who care for pet skunks are trying to get a rabies vaccine approved for use with skunks. Development of a vaccine will allow us to better understand how the rabies virus functions in skunks, wild and domestic. The goal of that organization is "to obtain a government approved rabies vaccine and quarantine period for skunks so that skunks, and the people who love them, can live in harmony without fear of rabies or rabies testing" [which involves the death of the animal]. If you are interested in more details of this organization, contact the Aspen Skunk Rabies Research, Inc. |
