Skunk claws are not like cats' claws, but like man's. Try walking around without your toes. It is not easy balancing yourself from the fridge to the remote control. Not only can a skunk only hobble after declawing, but it cannot hold its food properly. Skunks can be trained to use a litter box or newspaper that is placed in a corner.
Skunks are shy with their bathroom habits.
I do believe this is why they always use a corner unless they are sick or scared. All skunks must be spayed or neutered or they make mean, nasty, vicious, snarling, snapping animals, or dead animals. This happens to some skunks before you can snap your fingers. The female skunk should be spayed at about four months old. Neutered or spayed skunks are not lumps of fur on the floor.
