Because it's disgusting. Why do humans feel entitled to edit animals for their own amusement? Skunks aren't meant to be pets.

Don't you lot consider that tampering with God's perfect creation or something?

.... I am uncomfortably reminded of declawed cats. Why do humans do this to the poor animals?!

The Skarzs

I was going to mention declawed cats.

Mm. It's a fact of the human condition. Like electricity and water, we usually choose the path of least resistance. And if the resistance to having a somewhat exotic pet such as a skunk is the animal's scent gland, then the easiest way would be to have it removed. As a pet, it probably won't need the gland for defense, so it would not be detrimental to it long-term, provided the owner keeps it out of danger.

I'm afraid I can't say about tampering with creation. That's not something I have chosen to study. Of course, domesticating and breeding dogs to specific pedigrees may be considered tampering if dogs were originally all wild. . .


Not sure if I'm right in thinking this, but it really comes down to the individual and their values. What's wrong to one person may not be to another. And the same arguments have been going on for years. :P We could start a Cavern Hole or Hearth topic if you want.

I disagree with your phrasing but agree with your sentiment. It's up there as one of my favourite Panic! albums. I'd say it goes V&V, Too Weird, and then PFTW.

PFTW is really great, yeah. I love it. There's one or two songs I'm not a fan of (Silver Lining is catchy but meh, and that's the main one) but it's definitely in my top 3 Panic! albums as well.

ALSO GUYS I THINK BOOM BOOM ROOM SIDE B COMES OUT TODAY TOOOOO. (EITHER TODAY OR THE 24TH OF NEXT MONTH) Literally no one else here will be excited about this BUT I AM.

Did you sing Cotton Eye Joe?

I was tempted, but I went with Adele's Rolling In The Deep. Might record a cover sometime, dunno yet.
