Woman shares home with 50 skunks
''It's the same reason - skunks can be lovable, devoted animals.''
A woman shares her home with 50 skunks.
Deborah Cipriani runs a rescue centre for the smelly animals in Ohio, but she keeps 50 of them in her own house and even lets some sleep on her bed.
She said: ''A lot of people think we're weird to like pet skunks and they always say, 'Why do you want a pet skunk,' and I ask them, 'Why do you want a pet dog?'
''It's the same reason - skunks can be lovable, devoted animals.''
The 55-year-old woman even renamed her home Skunk Haven and has set up an annual US-based event called Skunk Fest, which features a beauty pageant for the animals and sees owners pushing their pet skunks around in prams.
