You may be wondering - WHY THE SKUNK?  Share founded S.K.U.N.K.S. because very little accurate information was available about the skunk, no one was challenging the myths and contradictions regarding this species, and no one was willing to come out from "underground to fight for the injustices being done to this animal.
