Steps In Skunk Adoption

Mom contacted the Pennsylvania Game Commission to find out the necessary steps to adopting Stinky. I guess without a receipt of sale, it might be pretty difficult to do. To think that ferret ownership was once this difficult!

Anyhoo, here are the procedures for bringing a skunk into the states:

"She will need to contact the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to get the authorization to bring it into the United States. To get that authorization she will need to provide documentation of having obtained it in a lawful manner and that it has all required shots and vaccinations. Then before it can be brought into any state she will need to provide that document to them and get the required permits either from the Department of Agriculture, their Conservation Department or perhaps both.

If it is coming into Pennsylvania and she wants to sell it of give it away she will also need to get a Propagation Permit from the Game Commission before she can get rid of it.

I don't know if it is even possible to bring a skunk into the U.S. from another country."

Hmm, sounds like it may be a tough one...
