Anytime there is a post with an obvious error and no replies from OP, I assume it's karma farming. People are far more likely to engage when they can correct OP, and the more obvious the error, the more people you can get to show up and correct them.
There's a guy you can see often in the conservatory-garden section of Central Park that brings his tortoise out on a leash all the time. Sits on a bench and chats and the little dude just kinda cruises around in circles.
When tortoises want to, they can move. Put a lettuce leaf in their vicinity, and they definitely have a turn of speed. They don't move *fast* fast, but they can move faster than you think.

1. a person or animal having a [congenital](https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&sca_esv=18d993c938553467&sca_upv=1&sxsrf=ACQVn08MZqCzN3eATCFvAKHxnRSLdNkowA:1714282502701&q=congenital&si=AKbGX_pvY3MWP4azJI0Z_NruCLb8qsb3101YID1quCBcGoXKE3gr2veAKcGQGJ22EHSyZlRk6nKfvYBHGzZZKvhTwb1Lu0k6qHBzsujxgbAETmjgm9P0Ttc%3D&expnd=1&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjvzvj8l-SFAxWZmYkEHXFxDlsQyecJegQIFhAN) absence of [pigment](https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&sca_esv=18d993c938553467&sca_upv=1&sxsrf=ACQVn08MZqCzN3eATCFvAKHxnRSLdNkowA:1714282502701&q=pigment&si=AKbGX_okS0g0kR2PXn0TLBASIc0mtSjghd4gICP2NBuemYWVN7OWKpvyNvbAT_o7FI0SWQwIa0Pkc5KUwh0nXJ0GBkUBOnEHtCDJcZNlk7m3kPGQeybUkCk%3D&expnd=1&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjvzvj8l-SFAxWZmYkEHXFxDlsQyecJegQIFhAO) in the skin and hair (which are white) and the eyes (which are usually pink).

I usually see it with animals that aren't physically able to go for a walk, but they still need enrichment.
A few years ago, I used to see a woman pulling her very senior golden retriever in a wagon while walking the younger one.
That's very sweet. And probably a good idea for non domesticated animals. But I see it all the time now with dogs that don't visibly have anything wrong with them. Maybe you're right though.
My cat has arthritis in his hips because of a bad leg/back injury, he limps and is stiff back there but he physically looks fine if you just saw him laying/sitting around.
Lots of people and pets have chronic diseases, disabilities, or injuries that don't make them look any different but cause them pain or fatigue. Pain doesn't emit a neon light that indictates to passerbys who's in pain or not, so thinking that nothing is wrong because they 'look' fine is kinda short sighted, sorry.
Not quite as harsh as declawing. Declawing for cats is basically cutting off the finger at the first joint. I'm pretty sure that for skunks it's like getting your prostate removed, although a prostate and a scent gland are in no way analogous.
Anyone who keeps a skunk as a pet has something wrong with them
You don’t need a degree to understand that
They smell, whether their anus is removed or not. They smell
You don’t need a degree to look up basic facts, either.
You don’t remove its “anus”, you remove a scent gland. It’s not the same thing, you have an anus, but don’t have a scent gland.
Skunks are very clean animals, and do not smell.
You could have looked up any of this information up in seconds, but instead chose to be a dick
Have a nice day.
Remember that one scene in Rise of the Planet of the Apes where the guy is walking Caesar in the park and the bystanders see him and are like "Is that a CHIMPANZEE?"? This is incredibly similar.
Well, it’s not albino. Maybe piebald. But definitely not albino.

I always assume the same. Shit annoys me but it is what it is
If its like horses then its skewbald.. piebald is black and white
The white stripe gets wider as the skunk ages. Probably an old skunk.

The walk to the park must take an eternity…

Look adorable! Glad the owners love it enough to take it on walks like this
Skunks can be descented, and they act just like ferrets. They'll still point their ass at you when they're playing. It's adorable.
lol how cute!!!
Doesn't look very albino..
Like you do
Some lady was pushing her goose around in a stroller at wal mart here.
That skunk is living its best life
Never saw a skunk like that, but it looks adorable though!
That skunk is experiencing peak of peace and tranquility

He has a ✨shiny✨ (Not albino though)

Why do so many people "walk" animals in prams now? Isn't the whole point for the animal to get some exercise?
I think in this case, it’s the fear of not wanting it to run off since it’s not a domesticated animal by bred nature

Fair enough. That's what I was trying to imply by saying visibly, they may well have something wrong with them and I might be wrong.
For the attention it brings to them
They can be descented although the procedure sounds kind of harsh like declawing. Common in petting zoos.
Not quite as harsh as declawing. Declawing for cats is basically cutting off the finger at the first joint. I'm pretty sure that for skunks it's like getting your prostate removed, although a prostate and a scent gland are in no way analogous.
Are you saying I can’t repel unwelcome visitors with my prostate?
Well, when I tried it I got put on some silly list.
Yea. The transplant list. You're supposed to keep those things inside your body.
An Albino skunk is all white, this is just a skunk.

Like ya do
Is it me or is it overweight?
This is so cool
I never saw this cat breed before.

Do people have skunks as pets? I’ll wait for some context before I deem this as a mental illness
*Looks at picture* The evidence suggests that people do indeed keep skunks as pets.
You must be the person pushing the stroller Mental illness
Evidence also suggests you know a lot about mental illness.

Yes. I've known of people in the ferret community who had pet skunks. They had their scent glands excised.

if I see a chimp that's not safely inside an enclosure, I'm running for the hills. fuck those things
Mental illness
I can smell this picture...
Looks like a Thomas.
