Feeding a Wild Fox

[XXplaythegamesXX]

AAAAAWWWWWKKKKKGGGGG !!!!! = SOOOOOO SWEEEEETTTTT !!!!!

[hammerhorde]

He looks very very thin. I`m sure he needed what you gave him.

[MrMrkez]

ahaha your funny borriffick, your comments are more amusing then the video :)

[FFS1NICO]

DON'T YOU KNOW IF YOU FEED ANIMALS THEY STARVE??? PEEEEETAAAAA! HEEELLLPPP!!

[LexiLovesYouXO]

Do you people know that dogs, cats, and any other domesticated animal were wild right? People already own foxes as pets too.

[primeEmu16]

Cant let you chew that starfox!

[zorau223]

._.' uh that's sarcasm right? K then...

[zorau223]

If u feed wild animals, they are going to hunt less and less, and get used to humans. Farmers often think of them as pests, and would probably kill them on sight. See the problem this causes?

[borriffick]

@zorau223 Aahh I see. How wise you are in the ways of the fox, oh wise one.

[MattBlytheTheOne]

@borriffick  looked hungry!

[MegaFragger]

@zorau223

someone often think farmers as pests and would probably kill them on sight

[ballin7077]

did u pick up the cans after.

[borriffick]

@ballin7077 No we sacrificed a package of hot dogs to the Gods of Aluminium and they came and swallowed the cans from beneath the earth.

[ballin7077]

@borriffick nice. im glad u care for the earth

[AloisAgos]

You may have tamed him, but he still conned you out of some food.

Crafty little fox...

[dtiydr]

Thats a real scabby one, didnt thought they coul dbe this tame though..

[DeathNoteFann]

the person who said you could get you finger bitten off 4 months ago is dumb as hell. because its not true at all! foxes actually bite softer then medium to large dogs. Foxes are nice to humans and they actually can be tamed. There are people in the US and especially in Russia who own domesticated foxes. I think it was awesome for you to feed that fox. It looked like it was VERY skinny.

[lilmoonprincess125]

aww! poor thing is so thin!! i would have fed it a little more but at least you have a heart~<3

[MWFrontier]

@ everyone who post stupid shit here,

Dude! its a fox, who looks like its about to die! it got a nice bun before it died, they got drunk in the woods Big effin deal, Fu#! is it that hard to see?

[survivalofone]

Little fella's looking mighty thin...

[SceneSafire]

Foxes r my Favorite animal(:

and i think its better to feed them than let'em

starve . so Thumbs up for the drunks ;D ! ahah

[BarbieBiitch420]

omg what a doll, i love foxes

[atsusamuno]

Is feeding wild animals really that bad? Many animals die of starvation. It's not uncommon for animals kept in captivity under human supervision to live more than twice than their wild counterparts. I think it helps them more than it harms.

[deadithink]

@atsusamuno Animals need to die. Population needs to be controlled. Look what happened to the human population, we have disease, violence, depression and other mental disorders, all because of medical advances and technology which have taken all the freedom from the human race. At least when we end up exterminating all animal life, they will have died free. We will be nothing more than manufactured products.

[WildlifeDen]

@deadithink what a fitting name you have then. you are dead, spiritually and morally. If anything needs to be "controlled" it's human population. They are the ones doing all the damage

we have all these problems because people have become disconnected from nature. been trained from birth to pollute, kill ,and poison the earth and everything on it. animals are not the problem. they are the solution. people must eventually embrace it or become extinct

[deadithink]

@WildlifeDen Your name is also fitting. The point of my comment was to prevent people from infecting animals with the same disease the humans have: living forever. I know exactly what you are talking about and I support you one-hundred percent. I AM slightly hurt by your insult against my integrity, but I take it that it was just a result of my previous comment. I would like to see humans littered on the side of the road as roadkill, but no we're special.

[Matttopper]

@WildlifeDen yeah wildlife den! fuck humans! we all suck! lets all kill ourselves! you go first!

[TheXxsuperxxchickxx]

aww it grabbed the food gently not lik othr foxes that snatch it and mite bite u

[silverX123456789]

y were u feeding it! I'm a fox lover and I understand he looks harmless but he is a wild animal! Foxes aren't like dogs you can't tame them. If he wanted to he could have bit of your whole finger with the bread.

[borriffick]

@silverX123456789 Really?? OK Thanks for the heads up!

[hunter7754]

@silverX123456789

Yeah and if a dog wanted to, he could tackle you to the ground and rip your face off.

but he doesnt.

xD

[Crazeri]

@silverX123456789 Maybe this fox was starving. And A fox can be quite friendly. I live with foxes near and they are so cute :D

[teesha123]

@silverX123456789

Actually there has been a group of scientists in Southern Siberia who have been selectively breeding foxes for domestication since 1959 with great progress by selecting 130 of the least aggressive foxes in fur farms and selecting the least fearful each generation. Through genetic variation this fox happens to be less fearful of humans.

After all, seagulls are wild & we feed them, and their lack of fear of humans have proved to be very advantageous to their species, indeed.

[Matttopper]

@silverX123456789 your an idiot

[wolfgirl336]

@silverX123456789 Dude, foxes can be tamed im soon going to raise a fox this coming spring. People have bred these animals to be tame pets for years. Although they ae more difficult to manage they can still be tamed.

[hunter7754]

@silverX123456789

please, just stop talking..

we dont need no stupid animal rights activist's on here...

i'm pretty sure he knows that its wild..

and you dont know shit about foxes. Dogs were once wild animals too y'know.

Imagine that!

[sonicusr]

@silverX123456789 i used to see a lot of foxes when i was little and i fed a few of them some bread

once some foxes game in a pack, and didn't even try to intimidate my dad and i even thought we were outnumbered.

they even stayed and sat down at our camp site. i didn't try to pet them or anything, because i would imagine that would piss them off, but you shouldn't be afraid of a fox unless your a toddler, otherwise a fox would have no reason to fight with you unless you provoke it.

[bibi14930]

it looks so thin and hungry!!! i would've feed it with some bread and meat. 

[ITSbigwillystyle]

Are these things endangered?

[AslanGriffindorLion]

@ITSbigwillystyle no its actually one of the most abundant animals on the face of the Earth especially in America

[PhrozenFox]

@AslanGriffindorLion Apparently the red and arctic fox is wanted for their fur, so their endangered status is fairly high, as for the swift fox, they've been extirpated from Alberta.

[AslanGriffindorLion]

@PhrozenFox true along witht he kit fox which is exclusive to the SOuth West but the Red Fox is very abundant

[mischief13]

I hope you picked up those cans litterbug.

[spiritkitten314]

foxes are so cute! ^^

[DeadBuck5]

thats illegal

[borriffick]

@DeadBuck5 Um, is there a button to mark that a retard made the previous comment?

[geogodley]

rabies risk

[metal0artist0kyle]

kinda mangy...

[parks2000]

People should put thr rabies vaccine in the scraps , I think that would work

[13laciotat]

this fox is'nt very fat.... It seems to have but skin on the bones.

[singergurl1807]

@13laciotat they're a lot slimmer in the wild, domesticated foxes usually have plenty to eat and are healthier, they actually live a lot longer in captivity.

[OettingerCroat]

amazing

[SwESpikeN]

LOL!

OLD SCHOOL!

[Tails41347]

I want to do like this, give foxes food. They will be happy!

[Sw3Expl0sioN]

LOL!

[SirBroadsword]

Sw3Expl0sioN:

Aw, come on, mate, don't knock the fella for his childish enthusiasm... :-)

[ixlikexchocolate]

wat were u feeding it? another question: y were there beer cans on the floor? pleez dont get mad at me anyone, i just ask questions.

[borriffick]

I was feeding it a piece of a hamburger bun from dinner the night before. You can see beer cans on the ground because we were getting drunk as fuck, and the fox wanted to party with us.

[ixlikexchocolate]

lol, ok

[KaiserVadin]

I love foxes because there cute and smart !

[bakuganintraining]

a party fox lol id love to see that allso i love fox's there cute as hell X3

[Tails41347]

Lol, party foxes! xD

Party foxes?! Let's have a party!!

[halorocks2009]

I want a fox as a pet.

And for the people who are arguing about hunting, I'm against it, and agree with wtfzim. I hate it when I hear of people killing animals for "fun". Humans are arrested for killing other humans, but it's completely ok to kill any other animal? Killing animals should only be for food and protecting yourself if they attack, not for sport.

[Binochy77]

food chain were animals too

we hunt as other predatos

were just smarter

were on the top of the food chain

[vactrox]

yes, but we should kill for necessity, not fun, you don't see a fox running around killing everything just for fun, they eat what they kill, or they protect their young. I agree that if we are in danger, we can kill, but just randomly shooting is stupid and a waste of ammo.

[xinka9]

aaw.

it's cute.

[bosspersonfighter]

Its back half was kindda baldish...Or is that just the camera?If it did, it might have mites.Thats just sad.=( But you fed it.=D

[readthisman]

i thought that was cute but DONT DO THAT!!!

if u do it to much it'll depend on humans for food. Still....cute

[CuteShippo1]

OMG THAT's CUTE!!!

[Tangibleclouds]

aw, yay canada :)

[WtfZim]

Hunters are cowards who shoot from afar anyway - they try not to be seen by foxes or any animal so it wouldn't matter whether or not this fox was tame. If someone is going to shoot it, they'll do it regardless. It shouldn't be shot at in the first place. So we should thank those who are kind to animals instead of slaughtering them for the sick pleasure and "fun" of it. It's their fault if the fox dies, not those who want to give it a meal and be nice to it.

[neonas85]

This is an untrue statement. With little to no wolves in Michigan, the deer population booms every year. Hunters help keep the population in check.

[wootness3000]

I'm not saying hunting is good, not by a long shot. But I too live in Michigan and driving down a country road I counted 15 deer then had to stop and let at least 6 cross the road.

[ixlikexchocolate]

well, if we hadnt hunted down all the wolves for no reason, then we wudnt have to kill all the deers to "keep the population in check"

[Maericke]

Don't feed the wildlife... did anyone notice how skinny the fox was? I'd say he was doing it a favour and it probably only survives off of scraps from humans.

You definitely don't deserve all the flack you're receiving from the after-school special crowd.

[mr3ggroll]

@Maericke or maybe the fox was too weak to hunt? maybe it needs help? just like when polar bear were gonna extinct?

[Sarabazzar]

@Maericke Well Not all the time. Feeding with wildlife does not hurt it. just like if you feed a fox chicken. Thats what its gonna hunt anyway XD

[AntiTheory]

I liked it... I don't think you deserve all the crap you're getting from these people. If the Fox was brave enough to venture into your campgroup and come beg for scraps, it's probably been fed before. Just twitching makes the really wild ones run for the hills

[kalakauai]

I think they're like racoons exept when you feed racoons they'll bite back if you you dont have anymore food. They'll always wany more. And It really happened.

[realitybitssoluagh]

why? Never feed a wild animal, now he will depend on humans for food

[redratrunner]

That's a really bad idea. My parents did the same once and then the fox started trusting humans and was shot by hunters

[daryndamae]

So cute! I wish I could do that- when was the last time I saw a fox? Lol

[peeklip]

You tamed it? Are you nuts? You just gave that creature a 'death sentence' you dumb ass.

[borriffick]

This fox has obviously had human contact for years. The fact that he's so skinny suggests that he probably doesn't know how to hunt because of humans feeding him. Keep in mind, as humans spread across the earth, the habitats we take over from them become shared. The ones who don't get used to us die. The ones who befriend us become our pets. How do you think dogs became our pets? Thanks for the dumbass comment. I suppose you'd rather the species of your dog Moby should be extinct?

[ironchopsticks]

dont make excuses for feeding wild animals. if you knew anything about wildlife, you would know not to feed them because animals will trust those that feed them. by reinforcing their trust in humans, you have exposed them to whole new set of dangers,... just so you could make a 14 sec 'cute' youtube video... get a clue.

[Squid00]

Dogs became pets from domestication, since the early humans were too lazy to chase after prey themselves when hunting. As humans spready across the earth, they destroyed wildlife without thinking first, and destroyed animals like the fox's source of food. Animals don't become our pets. We give them no choice but to be domesticated. Don't make excuses, like said, you're just cherrytopping the situation.

[neonas85]

What you stated is correct, if there is enough selective breeding for tameness in a fox it will become domesticated. I have a video uploaded (Russian "Tame Foxes") from a Russian experiment proving this.
