In the State of Texas, it's illegal to own a skunk ... unless you are growing it for fur.
Contrary to that fact, we offer the residence just down the road of George Bush, Tom DeLay and, somewhere beyond, Rick Perry. We have not heard of anyone skinning them, at least not recently.
Given that obvious contradiction in law, we feel justified in coming up with a Devious Plan to make a mockery of it.
We can still move forward with acquiring Daisy (i.e. after Flower), as detailed in the Buy Silas a Skunk GoFundMe Campaign, but, if queried on the matter, we will say our purpose is to raise it for the fur.
(Ed: great Devious Plan when you have to kill the skunk)
No, no. We cannot collect the fur until it is fully mature and has reached the full beauty of age at ten years.
(Ed: skunks only live about seven years!)
Yes, that's what makes the ten-year pelts so rare and valuable.
(Ed: you seriously think they will buy that?)
Sure. I will get my li'l skunk a li'l red baseball cap with TRUMP on it. No problem. They won't want that kind of noise in the station house ... upsets the other jailbirds.
Even better news for the campaign as beauteous spotted skunks have been located and for $400 ... plus they will ship to the nearest airport. That nearest is DFW and that's a direct flight from just about anywhere.
(Ed: is this a skunk mill like there are pet mills?)
That thought has clicked and I'm wondering about the volume. Say the breeder has five varieties of skunks (i.e. different colors). If there are five breeding populations and one litter per year with five progeny for each one then he has twenty-five baby skunks. Call it $500 per and that gets twelve and a half grand for them. That's nice but you can't live on it so he doubles it and now he has fifty baby skunks which bring twenty-five grand. You need some serious infrastructure to raise that many animals of any kind so that's a big financial commitment.
(Ed: this sounds like the old problem in math class, how many skunks (x) and how many building enclosures (y) are needed to make skunk profit (z)?)
Yah, I remember that one. I'm sure everyone does.
(Ed: my experience with calculus and higher math tells me it's a lotta skunks!)
Yah, sure looks like it.
They're so dayum cute, tho:
