Do porcupines hurt humans?

I've seen all these videos and pictures of humans holding porcupines. Do they actually hurt you, or only when they are scared?

  • I believe their is a certain way you have to hold them. Those people have had experience handling them so they know how. Because yes, they do actually more damage and are harmful when scared however it doesn't mean if they aren't it still won't hurt. That layer acts as protection 24/7.

  • only if they feel threatened
