Imagine touching healthy unprocessed human hair (hard to find these days). They are so beautiful to look at. Also, I must say, I have become fond of their smell, in comparison to the rancid smell of the dairy, porcine and poultry #2 throughout the Fraser Valley and farming communities in the Lower Mainland. Although I cannot say I would feel confident with them living beneath me. Here is an interesting little story about someone who encouraged skunks to live elsewhere or cohabitated with them when they did not want to leave. http://www.humboldt.edu/~wfw2/livingwskunks.html I love skunks, they have such nice fur.
