lurchergrrl 1,441 Posted September 25, 2010 Report Share Posted September 25, 2010 coon will turn agressive as they reach sexual maturity, skunks actually make quite nice pets as long as their glands are removed of course! I've heard they make nice pets too actually. But in a country without a native population, why on earth risk the potential for them to colonise here by allowing them in as pets. The gov't folks who decided that was a good idea should get some skunk perfume for a thank you gift I love that there are (supposed to be) no skunks here - makes walking the dogs so much more relaxing!

Guest chook Posted September 25, 2010 Report Share Posted September 25, 2010 then the kids will get bored with them,and they will be let go into the wild by ignorant parents.there was a craze of micro pigs aswell about a year ago Let go into the wild at £150 a go must have more money than sence if they did If you look in to it more - you will find that all over the country there are quite a few non native wild amimals that have been let go in this country, Eagle owls, wallabies - even a piranha has been caught, Its no different to someone buying a ped dog and just getting rid.

romany52 313 Posted September 25, 2010 Report Share Posted September 25, 2010 In 2005 there was 2721 non native species recorded in the UK, so we are hardly living in a pristine environment are we. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
