I'd bet that Fox Piss, Skunk Weed, and Mildew Covered Alfalfa would keep someone from trying to share your drink without ya knowing. "Decoy Water" just sounds like there's wrong with it lol😂😅😅😂😅😂
There’s a story of I believe British or Australian soldiers in WWI or maybe WWII where they used “water” or more often (supposedly) piss to rig up a mechanical dropper/switch thing that when it became full of liquid after a certain amount of time would then trigger a mechanism to fire a gun that was attached to it and they rigged them up all over the trenches in this one particular battle where they had to retreat but knew that if they just stopped shooting then they would be pushed by Germans during their retreat and get slaughtered so they rigged those systems to randomly shoot to make the Germans think it was business as usual and thus was the OG decoy piss water and allowed them to retreat without any loss if I remember correctly
I rescued a baby fox from being splattered on the road around 11pm on a Saturday night. Took it back to where I found it and kept coming back to me so I took it home for the night. I fed it cat food and cat biscuits, took it out for a walk in the back garden so it could relieve itself. I stayed up the whole night to call the SSPCA (Scottish version of the RSPCA), as it was a Sunday, to come and take it to safety. The same week our cat died who I had also rescued a year before from starvation basically having no home as the cats owner had passed away. That week was pretty brutal.
@@chrishayes5755 you should reflect on how you nanaged to think that your general intuition that "you can train animals" trumps the experience of someone running a fox sanctuary, regarding the matter of how trainable foxes are to suppress their scent-marking instinct.
@@chrishayes5755damn you seem like a very smart person that does this for a living unlike this girl that just got there today and knows nothing about animals and foxes
@@nataliestephenson215just say it jumped into your car when the door was open and wouldn’t come out, and it peed inside the car while you tried to get it out, throw in some jokes about it hissing or growling or whatever they do to defend territory or talk about it eating something in the car
I looked it up because I've never heard the sound before and this is THE most accurate description!! I'm glad a know that now because if I'd heard that on like a camping trip or something I would've called the cops thinking some weird torture rituals where going down lol
I previously worked as a nature interpreter at a wildlife rehab centre that also doubled as an education centre and I constantly had to tell parents people weren't smoking weed near the fox enclosure it was just their pee
The reason he looks like that is a bit sad. He was bred for the (illegal) pet trade. Maya explains it often and better, but basically people who want foxes as pets want them to have different colors, fluffier tails, shorter snouts, to be more confortable around humans, etc. In short, they basically want a dog but be able to brag about it being a fox, which is dumb. Just get a dog, folks!
Maybe they’re like cats? Cats don’t typically go for stagnant water sources and prefer flowing as it’s more likely to be safe for them to drink…maybe it’s a similar situation where they don’t realize it’s not good to pee in it cause it’s supposed to be their water source
I finally saw a wild fox doing the scream. I heard it repeatedly and moving my direction, so I watched and was so surprised to finally see the fox. I would have thought maybe screech owl.
Their favorite playtime is at night too so they make all their play chatter at night. They also have no problem killing any small animal you may have. My uncle has 2 foxes and one of them tried killing a cat, that cat ended up needing surgery because her face got ripped open. Their teeth and nails are really sharp too and they can cause injury even without meaning to, my uncles fox almost bit half his nose off trying to give him a little love bite. He needed stitches to put his nose back together. Some foxes can audio become aggressive to people they don't know so you have to be extra careful with any guests. Their adorable animals and are a joy to watch but they require a lot of work, patience and money.
@@katie85705 lol that reminds me of that Norm Macdonald movie Dirty Work… Chris Farley’s character hooking up with a “Saigon whore” that bit his nose off
The police were called to the Rotterdam zoo so many times because people thought there was a weed plantation but it was just their maned wolves (a canine whose pee also smells like weed) that they had to put a sign up 😂
@@wwxluvr2643 public weed plantations arent legal. in fact its only the distribution and consumption that is legal iirc, a remnant of a "social experiment" thats never been changed
@@ssfc117 People think weed is legal in the Netherlands, but that's a misconception because of Amsterdam and the red light district. In actual fact it's still illegal, although it's decriminalized for what they call "personal use" (i.e very small amounts, something like 5 grams or less).
Same thing with capybaras. As a Brazilian i keep saying this to the gringos when they say that they want to take capybaras to their homes in North America or Europe as pets. Those things are a eating machine, can carry a lot of parasites and reproduce like rabbits. If they escape into the wild, its going to be a ecological disaster in North America or Europe, because they will eat EVERTHING near and inside the rivers. (There is a small invasive group already in Florida but i think the crocs will keep the population under control) Will be the US wild hogs problem all over again.
@@theyreoutthere.huntinggearRight?! Nothing like going about your day, and you just get a divine whiff and you just stop AND DEEPLY INHALE until it's gone, esp if it's someone hotboxing and driving 💚
Pretty valuable video tbh, I’m sure there are people watching fox sanctuary videos thinking they would be good pets but knowing about the pee and smell is a good deterrent
Thats why alot of sancutaries will make ya take a jar of fresh fox piss home and open it and see if ya can stand it for a week. Also during the winter most cities and tree farms spray the trunk of their trees in fox piss. It freezes to the tree keeps out prey animals and if anyone steals the tree to use for xmas once the tree defrost it reeks. Ya have to throw out the tree and tear out anything it touches to maybe get the smell out of your house
I agree. I would add that particular love seems like an "infatuation" love. I appreciate owners and caretakers that love their pets/residents enough to be completely transparent and honest about them. Proper education and research is critical and helps deter possible abuse...as some who would have to learn the "hard way" may not be able to cope.
I inherited the responsibility of a pit bull. ... It's like a weapon on a leash. I never let her outside without her harness on. She's a sweet girl with people, but would absolutely go after any small animal that isn't a dog.
@@timbattle4035ngl, pee is generally fine to consume so long as it’s their own (same with most mammals including humans). It’s the poop that soils the water. If those foxes had ‘waterfall’ bowls they would be fine. An example of similar behaviour is coyotes peeing on their kill when they’re done eating but not fully done with the consuming the body. It most likely is a way of claiming the corpse/area.
I'm content to view them in sanctuary situations. As beautiful as they are, they are for looking. plus my house already smells like weed from me, i dont need weed + pee
I can remember in the 70s going to a pub in Bristol and drinking in the quieter of two of its bars. Then a local came in with his pet fox. Immediately the bar was filled with a peculiar smell. Also all the dogs in the next bar went nuts. I think there is a documentary on YT about an experiment to domesticate foxes in Russia, where after a few generations they don’t smell bad and behave like pet dogs
@@aeron8293There's no such thing as a domesticated fox. That could take decades, even a few centuries to perfectly breed out those traits. Wolves somehow becoming things like retrievers and pitbulls doesn't happen in a fairly limited experiment.
@@sws212 broadly I agree but there is a spectrum of domestication, it's not as black and white as "is domesticated" and "is not." like I said silver foxes were bred to have some level of domestication and exhibit features of domestication syndrome, however they lack a lot of selected traits that would make it more practical for them to cohabit with humans.
There is a video on youtube that shows an elderly couple owning 2 foxes, and the lady said she can't take it anymore. Her entire house was wrecked and everything smells like pee. She said none of her friends come over anymore. She was forced to take the foxes to a sanctuary. She was also forced to move into a new place. As her place had to be totally overhauled to the point that it was almost condemned. She explains that she rescued them because she found the babies abandoned and didn't seem right to leave them there. So she adopted them. But once they got big, all hell broke loose. Specially when she was at work they both always broke out of their cages she was forced to put them in because they were wrecking the furniture. and getting all over the kitchen. They also found a way into the fridge. Her husband never complained because he just wanted his wife to be happy and rescuing the baby foxes made her happy. Its a happy and horror story at the same time. She said the sanctuary taught her a lot about foxes and how people should not have them as pets. Something she didn't know until it was too late. She visits the foxes all the time with her elderly husband and brings them gifts every visit. They also donate to the sanctuary their foxes live in.
Thank you for sharing the story. It is important to remember that incidents like these often occur when individuals attempt to keep wild animals as pets.
Urine has been known for many health benefits such as extreme measures to cure cancer, even terminal cancer, urine contains 100+ indifferent stem cells, meaning the stem cells are unique in which cells in specific organs are repaired. It's actually very fascinating, but the interesting part is that fermented urine, over 20 days contains 100+ MILLION stem cells. This is why big pharma buys waste from portable restroom companies.
We use to have a fox that brought her kits out in my backyard to play. They were cute and she sprayed all over the chicken coop but never attacked our chickens. Now we have some coyotes that attack everything and likely killed the mother and kit foxes. Thank you young lady for talking about foxes and educating people about them, you are an angel.
@@GameFuMaster moron. Wild animals need to be wild. Like children need to be children. We have dogs, cats, and the rest of the shit, we need to leave/help nature to recover.
Fun Fact: The urine that a maned wolf uses to mark its territory has a distinctive cannabis smell. This smell once set the police on a hunt for cannabis smokers in the Rotterdam Zoo.
So that Save A Fox lady and her whole property must me funky af. She let's em all in her house and bed. I remember one fox made a messy on her pillow...
As someone who worked with foxes, coyotes and wolves at a sanctuary for several years I SUPER appreciate it when creators talk about this kind of stuff and let people know these are not pets 😅
@Brian2765, Eeeewww! [Intended to be said in the voice of Jimmy Fallon's character, Sara, no H, because Hs are EEEEWWWW! 😂😂😂😂😂] GREAT COMMENT, BTW!!! I appreciate your unique perspective on the world!!! Best regards!!
