Domesticated Fox Experiment

Some people up in Siberia are doing some experiment in domesticating foxes. They have been breeding them since 1949 or about that time. They are now selling them at http://www.sibfox.com/ .
The only bad thing about this is that they dont other countries breeding their foxes and i think that they should because it seems like these foxes could be the revolutionary pet around the world and i want news on them to spread as quickly as possible.

Please pass this video around to others so the news on them can spread!

thumbs up if you think that foxes should be domesticated

@SuperCODfreak99 They already are domesticated -_-

Domesticated? They don't seem to be doing a particularly good job of it. The ones in my back yard are supposed to be wild yet seem far more domesticated.

These domestication experiments are really fascinating.

So sad how humans disregard animals completely. Our breed is so unmerciful..yet we will one day cry for mercy and no one will answer too.

@ana2703 I agree, putting them in cages is disgusting. Taming isn't bad, but taming in a cage, horrible.

humans need to respect the nature of wildlife and leave them alone. These people breed the foxes to get tame ones and simply kill all the others because of their aggresive nature. So if the fox remains a natural fox and would not want to be touched by humans, it is killed.

Does anyone know what happens to the tame fox breed? Are they adopted out? What about the aggressive?

@legokid375 You Definitely need watch Nova's Dogs Decoded... it explains how the foxes were domesticated in three generations and had major physical changes at eight. It would only take about fifty years to turn a wolf into a dog, and then selective breeding for specific traits takes over and you can acquire "Lab Like" characteristics by then only breeding for color, size and shape since the temperament would already be present from the 3rd-8th generations.

@sasamuraki You got that right... I just wish there was an easier way to obtain one of their foxes, other than flying to Siberia myself.
