Skunks are not born with Rabies. Skunks are omnivores. They will eat anything, but are mainly vegetarians. Skunks that are fed junk food, high protein or high fat diets, such as cat food, beef, pork, or foods cooked in fatty products, are not long for this world. The wrong diet breaks down the liver, kidneys, heart and lungs of a skunk.
Bad diet equals dead skunk.
They are not cats. Skunks claws are the same as the first joint in your finger or toe. In order to remove your claws they have to remove your toes just like they do the skunks'. Skunk claws are not like cats' claws, but like man's. Try walking around without your toes.
