(891 posts)We have some in our subdivision, but they are not tame. You can hear them at around 3:00am screaming. Very scary sounds.

(86,307 posts)I don't like the idea of this at all. It cheapens the importance of the species and its role in the biosphere. It's bad enough that the vast majority of humans have no respect for wild animals as it is.

The same idea behind the evolution of wolves to dogs. The more tame ones hung around near human camps for garbage and scraps and bred with each other. One of the many theories of dog beginnings.

(2,472 posts)claiming that it was Bernie. I had to tell a friend who posted it that it wasn't.
I met a guy at a party on New Years Eve who has two Arctic foxes. He was showing pictures and videos of them to everybody. I asked him if they were domesticated or wild and he said they were domesticated. Then later he said he was planning to breed them and sell the babies. I asked about their care and if they have dog beds or what and he said, "Oh, no, I can't let them live inside the house, they're wild animals. I have a pen in the backyard for them." I hate the idea of keeping wild animals in a cage, so that was the end of our conversation. Later I googled pet foxes and evidently there are a lot of them.
