CAN I HAVE A PET SILVER FOX? The Pros & Cons 

I agree x

@@Animal-Watch same Ppl are monsters for taking its fur away and all

@@chaotic_toast2137 agreed. Anyone who hunts foxes for sport or fur, deserves to be shot

@@Zynet_Eseled it is a bad thing who knows how many animals are endangered or gone because of this

@@chaotic_toast2137 yes. Exactly

Lillian Lunt that's beautiful

Lillian Lunt How are the babies?

@@Isaiah593 l

U ARE AMAZING FUR FARMS ARE SOO INCREDIBLY BAD THEY NEED TO BE ILLEGAL and I’m so sorry that she died but I’m sure she is in fox heaven lol and enjoys her life and misses u loads Also how r the babies!

No, just wear a synthetic coat that helped pollute the planet and think you are living softly.

those fur coats look hilarious on a woman...

I will only wear a fake fur coat

Axickar Why not wear sheep fur?

KILL ALL THE BASTARDS WHO KILL ANIMALS FOR FUR !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

they are :(

Anneka Svenska Foxes and Some Wild Dogs you can Raise/Adopt them in Alaska

Anneka Svenska a huge shame. . . I love silver/black foxes

I'm from America but I'll solve the fur coat problem just add gum lol. But in truth I'm a nobody living in America until I get a job helping animals happy face.

Just like where your clothes are made and electronics Modern slavery

I know, never support the fur trade and this is where it comes from :(

Me too man, i would fucking flay those bitch ass motherfuckers

Jeremy Moore same 😭😭

I know it's horrible the conditions that they are in although Its a bit difficult to feel to sorry for them since they're a bunch of assholes, stealing and destroying everything.

@@Animal-Watch exactly. Silver foxes should only be bred, if it's for them to be a new breed that can survive out in the wild. Not for fur.

TheStigma THAT, plus there is another major difference for me - with say cows we use every single part of them, nothing goes to waste. We milk them, we eat their meat, process their organ meat, we refine and use the fat, use their skin as leather, use their horns and hooves for buttons... Regardless of the inherent moral issues, at least it's an efficient process that's useful and can help many people fill their basic needs like food etc. But killing animals just for their fur, not out of an actual need but a frivolous wish for a fashionable coat? *That's* truly barbaric, imho.

@@qwertyCandy True. But I still think cows ect. Deserve a life free needless suffering. Meat and hide may be less of a luxury than fox-pelts, but it's not something we couldn't afford to pay a little more for to make their lives decent. Most people would only benefit from less meat in their diets anyway.

TheStigma Yeah, I totally agree with that - I would gladly pay twice as much if it meant that they will have a decent life with as little stress as possible. Funnily enough I actually used to be a vegan, for many years, since my stance was that if we don't need to eat meat in order to live a healthy and full life, then I don't think that an animal deserves to die just to be my lunch. I still keep that stance, except I no longer believe 100% plant based diet is enough for full health (btw I'm not trying to make anyone decide one way or another, just sharing an opinion). And vegetarianism seems like a half measure since it still means farming cattle etc. So while I get that my stance on the this is probably very atypical... I would absolutely love to pay extra if it would buy them a significantly better life :) Also I look forward to insect farms - insect seems very nutritious, eco-friendly and much less morally problematic. And imho can be made into a tasty meal with a good preparation. So I wish it was a readily available alternative to beef etc. :(

@@qwertyCandy just wait till technology develops eventually we will grow the cells for the food from cows that we want and just cook that. Meaning farming cows like that would be inefficient.

thankyou Matthew

matthew ramirez I hate it all. It's cruel and mean. The dogmeat trade is horrible as well. I will never eat meat again knowing what these animals go through. Not only other countries abyss animals before being slaughtered but right here in the states farm animals are bring raised in horrible conditions and being slaughtered in such a horrific way. No thanks I pass on any kind of animal abuse. I won't support it in any way or form. I wish I knew better and was better educated about this years ago because I would of gone vegan way back then instead of only the last two yrs. There's no way to kill an animal in a humane way. It's all mean. There's so many meat alternatives nowadays. They have veggie burgers now that taste and look just like meat. Well close enough. I'd sacrifice a little just to save a life so if it doesn't taste exactly like a burger then who cares. The world is so messed up because of these meat farms. We can't produce enough meat for everyone eventually nit without destroying our world. It will eventually all come to an end plus now days the new generation is now seeing what we didn't see so much of. Awareness is being spread and eventually everyone will know and see what really goes on. I just wish it was now.

Annie P * Beauty Defying Age I couldn't have said it better myself. I agree with all u have said. Those beautiful creatures should be in the wild NOT being made into disgusting fur coats. I can't believe that in 2017 the t ruely horrible and vile fur trade is still going on, being allowed to treat animals in the most awful way,, just so some other horrible person can wear a fur coat! What sort of person wears a fur coat and thinks it's ok to do so? They mustnt have any feelings for the animals. No wonder the earth I is in the state it Is. I am sorry I am going on so much! I could cry and cry over what I see on the internet, i am very often ashamed to be a human being. I hope something big happens to change our world and rid it of all cruel people and practices. God bless u xxx

You can have a fox as a pet, there are breeders in the uk, America and other places that breed domesticated foxes and they are considered exotic pets. in Russia they started doing it back in the 1950's. And before someone says they should be in the wild, domesticated foxes are just the same as dogs, which were domesticated from wolves and they are now mans best friend. And the same goes for all pets - cats, rats, mice, birds, rabbits, ferrets, even horses and lots more

What you said about dogs from wolves is true but do you realize how many generations of animals must be bred (down) for it to be domesticated? Wow probably a few hundred. Remember the dog was domesticated from the grey wolf. This was probably done for many generations before the domestic dog was in fact its own breed.

dirkie draadloos Skinning them alive is even fairer.

howtorideahorse Depends, did they skin the animal alive? They deserve what they did.

I agree

animal worshippers that will sacrifice humans

They aren't endangered their just being mistreated in fur farms

It would be a blessing once humans go extinct

@@epictacocatgalaxy4697 you realize you would die right

Tell that to Native Americans and while you're at it why don't you investigate the w100 polluting steps required to make synthetic clothing.

David A. native Americans also eat the animals and used the fur to survive winters so it isn't the same thing as people killing animals only for their fur simply for a fashion statement and do you honestly believe they don't use chemicals to treat and make fur coats you can buy in a store

David A. So just because it's not fur that doesn't mean there is only synthetic clothing left. There is linen, cotton, hemp and many other fibers that can be used for clothing that are ethically producable. Wool also if the sheep are well cared for . Especially linen is skin friendly, doesn't need as much water as cotton and is great with temperature regulation, also it has been used for centuries.

Fur coats are pointless now. We can make exact replica out of different materials. I believe as soon as we got technology to gain our own clothes animal slaughter is no longer needed for their fur.

i got a fur coat at home it looks stylish but its shit on the skin gave me allergies .. yes i regret buying one ..

what a beautiful comment - thankyou so much for your support May Ling x

thankyou

Fashion I guess

Richard Morgan same

I love hunting but I agree fur farms are wrong

Exactly. It's like, I'm not myself a hunter, but if you're hunting for food, then I understand. But foxes, they are killed for fur. Now, back in the past, I can understand it out of necessity to survive and for trade. But now that Faux Fur is a thing, there isnt really a point. Other than to please the rich. So, of we get rid of those who want it, then these farms will shut down operations.

how lovely Louise

these ones are rescue foxes and this lady only keeps rescue - shes giving advice not to keep them as pets. Spirit is doing really well and I am filming her again soon in about 8 weeks time

Thank you so much. Also big thanks that lady.

Anneka Svenska excuse me miss can I marry you 😍😀

@@Animal-Watch if you do want one as a pet, then you should only do so if you are willing to allow them to roam free and be wild. They will only return to you if they truly trust you enough to care for them. That's my stance on the issue.

Yeah, they really do seem to bond don't they? They like to be with their human and get lots of play time with them and love from them or as you said they get upset. Better for them to get a bit angry than depressed though. Not for the uninitiated or for people without the space and time for them, however. You sound like you're doing right by your fox. It's too bad people would give up their fox after a few bites. I figure any clawed or fanged animal you get as a pet, better be prepared to get scratched and bitten. I've never had more than two cats thus far in my life (no space for anything larger or more high maintenance), and right now I only have one. But even that little cat has clawed and bitten me to shreds a bunch of times, just for play or "tough love" I suppose you could call it, those weird moments when animals express affection by getting a bit violent.

exactly

Looks and feels different just saying

I know, wasn't it cute? he was running around with on there, made me laugh

have you seen my films on wolfdogs, take a look

great advice there Sean :)

I own a Papillon, and while they are gorgeous dogs, I would not exactly say that they look like foxes.

you are welcome

thankyou

thankyou

thankyou

yes its one of the worst countries - they hide them away in rural locations and there are row after row of cages upon cages - like intensive chicken farming sheds almost

I guess the pros are that they are beautiful and fun and simply gorgeous, but better to be free...and Angie advocates this. x

I disagree with half of what you said

absolutely x

It's gut sufferint to think of all the poor humans suffering at the hands of humans....

you'd need a large enclosure as they will wreck your house like the lady says in the film
