I think they are starting to domesticate them but they are expensive to keep and very time consuming since they are very mischevious you need to basically child proof your house. I think they sell for $10,000
Also, many people don't understand the specific diet requirements needed for various species of undomesticated animals. Most people don't even understand how to feed a dog or house cat correctly.
@BandAidsPENNYLANE I just wanna let you know some things. You have to get a license to own a fox, or any out of the norm animal for that matter, In order to get that license you have to know their health requirements. As for people letting them go in the wild, Im positive some one wont be that stupid cuz its obviously not going to survive after being a house pet. im sure that if some one found the fox to be to much to handle they would put him or her in a local animal shelter
@xXyersweetnitemareXx Really, because people let go house bunnies and parakeets all the time, along with other pets. And if someone wanted to illegally obtain the pet because they didn't want to go through the strenuous process of a license, they will. I don't have a whole lot of faith in people when it comes to caring for pets, as I'm sure you can see. I worked in a shelter for awhile and it was sad.
@BandAidsPENNYLANE Ya well still these people obviously love their pet... and out of the few ppl who do those kind of things to animals there's a hundred ppl who would never dream of doing something so cruel.. and as for it running away... any pet can do that.. I'm sorry you witnessed bad things while you were working in the shelter.. But not all ppl are like that.. infact most ppl aren't..
@FTWalrus I actually knew that and am glad they do a background check and hope it will stay that way. But this brought to mind, animals that cannot be domesticated and are being taken away from their natural habitats, sometimes very young away from their mothers in the most inappropiate and cruel ways, illegally either not surviving or ending up in the wrong hands, See that's how the whole cat and dog problem started in the first place! I do not like the circus for the same reason.
-.- it really annoys me to see people who own wild animals. :/ they should be left alone.. only dogs, cats and other DOMESTIC animals should be kept as pets.. not fucking tigers, monkeys and other animals. -.-
@ZeannaGoesMeow I so totally agree! LEAVE THE WILD ALONE!!! They don't belong to you! I don't care how well treated you think it is. You are condoning an abominable market!
I am against wild animals being sold as pets as well as having them killed for their coat. There should be strictier laws against such acts. We already have enough animals with no homes. In Portugal there is actually a political party that was founded recently, that represents and fights in defense of the environment and the rights of animals. If I recall well, the iniciative was taken after a vet killed a large number of dogs and cats, that actually HAD HOMES TO GO TO!
this topic reminds me of coyotes.I find it totally wrong how coyotes are treated and killed in masses and people thinking that is totally fine. i mean this image that many have of them as the enemy is just wrong.They are actually very intelligent animals with a communication system that includes 13 or more ways of communicating. I believe that if animal experts take more time and interest to raise them in captivity and study these animals they would probably find many positive things in them.
I actually have a jennet. He's in my lap as I type this. His name is Schroder and he's pretty happy. I hate people that irresponsibly get pets and not take care or love them be they domestic or "wild". A dog was one wild but people "made" them pets so why not try with other animals? -Schroder is trying to sleep on my keyboard, he's just like a kitty-
@LostLambFanVideos so your saying if somebody is feeding a wild animal around their house, it would not begin to get more comfortable and confident around humans? Considering there have been wild animal attacks because people fed them and the animal's began to not fear humans.
@mefalise actually, dogs and cats domesticated themselves to an extent. Some wolves began to stick around human settlements to scavenge our leftovers cuz it's easy food. Wolves that were friendly enough to cause no problems survived. The aggressive ones that attacked were killed. this was the first step to domestication.
@SuperStarsNStripes fennecs are great at escaping, tame or wild so its safer to have them tied up safe that having them walking around unsafe outside:)
Fennec foxes are often bred for captivity, meaning it wouldn't survive if you played "free the fox." Yes, it has instincts, but those instincts only go so far. It would most likely die if released.
As for it being leashed, don't some people keep their dogs in crates? My mom leashes her dogs in the living room when we're eating or when she has company. It's not abuse in that scenario.
Its tough to see an animal leashed in the house. Im not the owner so I really don't know the situation. But if you cannot offer proper care for the animal, or handle anything it might get into, perhaps your house isn't suited for an animal to begin with. Its as terrible as declawing a cat, or kenneling a dog all day.
@ebp283 Some people can't take care of them, and it ends up hurting them more then helping them. (Some release it, and it cannot take care of it'sself and ends up dead.)
And other animals can hurt people. So it can be a lose-lose.
@iLilyNesS Some people are retarded, some people are brilliant, and some people are average your point? you can say anything about "some people" but thats just like saying some flowers are red and some are yellow a flower just like people ecompases a wide variety of subclasses. So what if a pet dies do to neglegence maybe if you look at the entire story the neglegence happens because the owner was in a coma or equivalent. Bad things happen thats life both with and without humanity.
@vampuricknight1 Some people can ruin it for everyone. The law is just to keep the animals and us safe. It's not up to me, so don't try and persuade me.
@ebp283 Look, we can give dogs and cats the best lives we can, considering if I let my dog out in the ravine to be free he'd get eaten by a coyote close to immediately. But I'm going to get another dog because he is a pack animal and I respect that he deserves a shot at the life he would have had was he not a bichon shih-tzu. This fennec fox will never have a mate, never have a little of cubs and will never have a chance to live the life it could have in the wild. They're legal, but it's sad.
@MegaBoners do our dogs always have mates? I respect wild things staying wild, but this little guy may very well have been captive bred, from captive bred parents. Mind you, in the house there are no wild hawks and other big critters trying to eat him (To everyone else, I'm not saying that we should all take in animals just to "protect him") I'm just puttin' my two cents in =^.^=
@Aupas Being well fed in a comfortable environment with no predators to worry about? I think it's living a satisfying life. Humans didn't always live in homes but we don't cry and have the urge to go live without a home without a reliable source of food, who the fucks to say these animals don't enjoy homes either.. since after all we're ALL animals.
@mykey93 You're wrong if you think living in a home as a human and as a fox are equivalents to each other. Like seriously... are you really that fucking ignorant.
As a human you have full control over where you can go and what you can do. Living in a home as a pet fox grants nowhere near the same amount of freedom you yourself have.
@Aupas I'm not ignorant, I'm a biologist and have kept various species of herps. I think you're giving these animals the same emotions as humans that they feel the same way about certain things. Not all animals have this deep down desire or NEED to be running free or some shit. Get over yourself, the animals are happy and thrive in captivity. They were born into captivity and live healthy lives.
@Aupas If this bothers you that much than you should go to a third world tropical country and look at the deforestation. I just got back from Madagascar and thats where you should concentrate your "safety and freedom to wild animals!" preaching. Many conservation projects are bringing animals into captivity to save them and their species. Captivity shouldn't be your problem, it should be deforestation. Fucking idiot.
@ebp283 The problem with keeping "wild"/illegal animals as pets is if irresponsible people don't want to take care of them anymore and let them go back into the wild or they escape, it messes up the ecological system, creating disastrous and long-term effects.
@lalalali58 whoa don't get me wrong--you're changing my words. I didn't say that one should have foxes as pets because if they don't they will inevitably be doomed to the fur factories and turn into "fashion." I agree with you that foxes should not be kept as pets (how are they going to burrow and dig in a house??); the illegal animal trading and selling that goes on is awful! After seeing about 1/2 the pop. wearing fox fur here in Canada, it was just a relief to see one alive and taken care of!
@LaurenPoly12 what do you mean "how are they going to dig/burrow" you build them a sandbox... If most people (who own) are too lazy to properly take care of their foxes, you want to make it illegal for the ones who will..?
@LaurenPoly12 yeah, of course, that's obvious, but that's not a excuse to remove an animal from his habitat. Thinking "I'm going to adopt or buy or whatever this animal because if I don't do it someone is going to wear it as a coat" is a very ignorant and selfish way to act.
just something that i've thought about. all the people that go on and on about how wrong it is to keep animals wild animals in a home, that's exactly what cavemen were telling each other about wolves. "IT'LL NEVER WORK I TELL YOU" but now we have from pomeranians to great danes. as long as the animal isn't being mistreated and has a habitat where it can exercise and be healthy i see no problem. but still, it is a wild animal... for now.
This really makes me sad. It's terrible how far we can go just because our selfishness...We really have to rethink our place and mission in nature. We can't keep thinking we can do whatever we want without consequences...
@emorave112 You can google search or go to your courthouse to find out. =) I looked it up myself and found that some states require a license before owning a pet fox.
@13vikingar13 Oh, my! I didn't know we had a Psychic in this comment thread!. I guess you used your crystal ball to learn that he keeps the fox tied up all the time?. And if you don't mind me asking, can I get next weeks lottery numbers?. Cheers! :)
They kind of remind me of a hybrid between a cat, dog and bat.
@Canaisis Would you prefer they be hunted down in the wild? They're already on the endangered list, they're far too adorable to end up like the Warrah. What do you suggest we do otherwise? We. Are. Saving. Them.
Wild animals become endangered species. Domesticated animals live with us and flourish.
WELL I GUESS IF WE'RE GOING TO SAVE THEM WE MIGHT AS WELL KEEP THEM AS PETS. Then they can freeload and get free healthcare, food, love, attention, oh how HORRIBLE.
@HawkMcBlade The problem is the extermination of "vermin" like wolves and foxes, and the view of them as violent vermin that need to be exterminated; fennecs don't have that problem quite as much, being hunted primarily for their fur in the Sahara.
Ironically, the reason there's so many coyotes in the US is because of the extermination of wolves allowing a gap in the niche, and now people want to get rid of the coyotes and complain about them as vermin. Go figure.
@Demonwulf Yeah, like I said, if you're not going to eat it, you shouldn't be killing it. Wolves and foxes and coyotes are VARMINTS though, they eat the vermin. lB Vermin are more like mice and bugs and stuff.
I will admit, I live out in the middle of the high desert. I have a cat I love very much, and I'd be crushed if something decided to have her for lunch. THAT'S WHAT FENCES ARE FOR. But it'd be more likely raccoons that'd be the culprits. x: *shudder*
@HawkMcBlade That's assuming the person keeping it has the vaguest clue of how to care for it.
people are against keeping animals like this as pets cause most of the time they got it simply on the basis of being "cute and fluffy" and can't care for it worth a damn. it either gets sick or dies inside of 3 months or the person gets bored with it and tosses it out into the woods were it throws the ecology off balance and starts eating native wildlife
@HawkMcBlade their called "wild" animals for a reason... if they go extinct, its the way its meant to be, would you like it if dinosaurs still existed? or would you have tried to domesticate them too?...
@HawkMcBlade no, you're wrong. The problem is that to save those beautiful and, sadly, endangered animals you don't have to keep them at home because you think that giving them love, attention and blablabla they're living better. The thing is that those animals have to live in their habitat, wild, without the intervention of humans. It's great to have an animal like this one, being selfish, but...have you think about if you are going to be able to give him just the live he deserves?
@lalalali58 Honey this fox is probably part of the domesticated population. There are people who domesticate them. You wouldn't send a poodle out into the wild would you? Well, putting a domesticated fox out in the wild would be the SAME THING. It might live for 5 minutes until it gets eaten because it doesn't know anything but domesticated life. And if you have a problem with domesticated animals go join PETA and watch them kill 98% of the animals they adopt.
@LupeChan The problem is not to send a poodle out into the wild, the point is that a fennecfox is NOT a domesticated animal, it's a wild animal, notice the difference? Just because you feed him and put him a bed in your house it doesn't mean that his living the life he deserves.Moreover you're just guessing that this fox is "a part of the domesticated population".And honey, I give my opinion of everything I can and more, I don't need anyone to tell me to join anything, mind your own bussiness.
@HawkMcBlade I don't think you understand. How many people want a wild animal as a pet? Not many. Also, the more we domesticate animals, the more we breed them according to our own liking. They lose the characteristics that once made them what they were. They would no longer survive in the wild. Animal breeding/conservation programs are key, NOT humans believing they have the right to domesticate WILD ANIMALS. They belong IN THE WILD, NOT with us, no matter how honorable our intentions.
@mefalise chill out, if we stood by your little theory, we would never have dogs or cats as pets. i understand why its not a good idea to have a wild animal as a pet, but i have dogs. and their distant relatives were once wild.
@Bhousm76 I understand that, but we as humans should not feel as though we have the authority to domesticate whichever animal we like. We domesticated cats and dogs because they were useful to us. The only reason we have for adopting, say, fennec foxes, is for our own pleasure.
awww these things shouldnt be kept on a leash like that. do you normally let it out and play around and go nuts? theyre extremely hyper.. they need a lot of space and room
@cutieepiee
I think they are starting to domesticate them but they are expensive to keep and very time consuming since they are very mischevious you need to basically child proof your house. I think they sell for $10,000

This really makes me sad. It's terrible how far we can go just because our selfishness...We really have to rethink our place and mission in nature. We can't keep thinking we can do whatever we want without consequences...

They kind of remind me of a hybrid between a cat, dog and bat.
@Canaisis Would you prefer they be hunted down in the wild? They're already on the endangered list, they're far too adorable to end up like the Warrah. What do you suggest we do otherwise? We. Are. Saving. Them.
KristinHarmony 3 months ago
Wild animals become endangered species. Domesticated animals live with us and flourish.
WELL I GUESS IF WE'RE GOING TO SAVE THEM WE MIGHT AS WELL KEEP THEM AS PETS. Then they can freeload and get free healthcare, food, love, attention, oh how HORRIBLE.

@HawkMcBlade Not hunting wild creatures to extinction isn't the most terrible idea in the world, though.
However, I do agree with the rest of your post. :)

@Demonwulf I am of the belief that if you aren't going to eat it, you shouldn't be killing it. lBc
Hunting for fur is stupid. No one wants tiger sirloin.
HawkMcBlade 3 months ago
@HawkMcBlade The problem is the extermination of "vermin" like wolves and foxes, and the view of them as violent vermin that need to be exterminated; fennecs don't have that problem quite as much, being hunted primarily for their fur in the Sahara.
Ironically, the reason there's so many coyotes in the US is because of the extermination of wolves allowing a gap in the niche, and now people want to get rid of the coyotes and complain about them as vermin. Go figure.
Demonwulf 3 months ago
@Demonwulf Yeah, like I said, if you're not going to eat it, you shouldn't be killing it. Wolves and foxes and coyotes are VARMINTS though, they eat the vermin. lB Vermin are more like mice and bugs and stuff.
I will admit, I live out in the middle of the high desert. I have a cat I love very much, and I'd be crushed if something decided to have her for lunch. THAT'S WHAT FENCES ARE FOR. But it'd be more likely raccoons that'd be the culprits. x: *shudder*

@HawkMcBlade That's assuming the person keeping it has the vaguest clue of how to care for it.
people are against keeping animals like this as pets cause most of the time they got it simply on the basis of being "cute and fluffy" and can't care for it worth a damn. it either gets sick or dies inside of 3 months or the person gets bored with it and tosses it out into the woods were it throws the ecology off balance and starts eating native wildlife

@HawkMcBlade their called "wild" animals for a reason... if they go extinct, its the way its meant to be, would you like it if dinosaurs still existed? or would you have tried to domesticate them too?...

redryan20000 2 months ago
@HawkMcBlade no, you're wrong. The problem is that to save those beautiful and, sadly, endangered animals you don't have to keep them at home because you think that giving them love, attention and blablabla they're living better. The thing is that those animals have to live in their habitat, wild, without the intervention of humans. It's great to have an animal like this one, being selfish, but...have you think about if you are going to be able to give him just the live he deserves?
lalalali58 2 months ago
@lalalali58 Honey this fox is probably part of the domesticated population. There are people who domesticate them. You wouldn't send a poodle out into the wild would you? Well, putting a domesticated fox out in the wild would be the SAME THING. It might live for 5 minutes until it gets eaten because it doesn't know anything but domesticated life. And if you have a problem with domesticated animals go join PETA and watch them kill 98% of the animals they adopt.
LupeChan 1 month ago
@LupeChan The problem is not to send a poodle out into the wild, the point is that a fennecfox is NOT a domesticated animal, it's a wild animal, notice the difference? Just because you feed him and put him a bed in your house it doesn't mean that his living the life he deserves.Moreover you're just guessing that this fox is "a part of the domesticated population".And honey, I give my opinion of everything I can and more, I don't need anyone to tell me to join anything, mind your own bussiness.

@HawkMcBlade Actually foxes are one of the most abundant species in the wild. But i do agree some should be domesticated, not all of them.

hildegain 4 weeks ago
@HawkMcBlade I don't think you understand. How many people want a wild animal as a pet? Not many. Also, the more we domesticate animals, the more we breed them according to our own liking. They lose the characteristics that once made them what they were. They would no longer survive in the wild. Animal breeding/conservation programs are key, NOT humans believing they have the right to domesticate WILD ANIMALS. They belong IN THE WILD, NOT with us, no matter how honorable our intentions.

@mefalise chill out, if we stood by your little theory, we would never have dogs or cats as pets. i understand why its not a good idea to have a wild animal as a pet, but i have dogs. and their distant relatives were once wild.
Bhousm76 3 weeks ago
@Bhousm76 I understand that, but we as humans should not feel as though we have the authority to domesticate whichever animal we like. We domesticated cats and dogs because they were useful to us. The only reason we have for adopting, say, fennec foxes, is for our own pleasure.
