Yes skunks can be pets.
But if you want a skunk as a pet then you need to take the skunk to a vet or someone who can stop the skunk from spraying.
I'm not sure what they actually do but I remember a guy that lived down the street from us when I was a kid and he raised pet skunks.
The skunks had their ability to spray the skunk spray removed from them.
I remember being scared of the skunks when I was 4 years old and the guy said it was okay to be near them as they cannot spray you.
I wish I knew exactly what he did to remove the skunk spray but I was only 4 and would not have comprehended it at the time.
