Jolene is the cutest! She’s a rare lavender-colored skunk with a gentle temperament and an irresistible face. But no matter how charming she is, skunks should never be kept as pets. In this episode, I visit Westminster Farm to meet Jolene and explain exactly why. Skunks are deeply misunderstood creatures. Most people only know them as the animal that might spray you—and yes, skunks can do that, but they really don’t want to. Their spray is a last resort defense, not something they use casually.
