@binwei - a *domesticated* silver fox. Russians have had domesticated foxes for many years.

I would never support a circus which uses animals. Animal exploitation is not entertainment.

I worked in the circus for many yrs.These animals are very well kept.

I dont think it's cruel. They are looked after, have nice clean fur etc. If they were ill or anything they would look it
