HI and thank you for that awesome question. First of all lets address the removing the smell from skunks. Skunks spray from a gland in their butts called the mercaptans, the way that the smell is removed is that a veterinarian removes the glands from the skunk thus leaving them defenseless if put back out into the wild.
Some people do keep skunks as pets but only very knowledgeable people do. Skunks are very demanding, destructive and have a special diet and require a lot of attention. It is very important to remember to never try and tame a wild skunk, they are called wild for a reason.
There are special breeders who breed domesticated skunks and those still require a lot of care but not as much as wild ones do. Depending on the area you live in you may also be required to get a special permit to keep a pet as a skunk.
