Hmmn, ban fox hunting, fox population increases, inadequate fox chow, foxes start eating cats, sounds reasonable.

Can foxes be trained to eat putrid leftists?

When they're kits they can be tamed somewhat but when they mature nature normally takes over.

Do you have any source or know of any articles re: Domesticating Foxes. They are here and I think I could probably find the Den and get a young one.

If Foxes are all they have to worry about they should be glad. Here in Colorado I've seen Foxes (large grey ones) and Coyotes running down the town streets at night. Some areas get Mountain Lions also. Kitties don't last long here if they're left outside at night.

"Here, let me hold you up so you can pee in this bottle, Foxy."

Last time I said that, I got my face slapped. Hard.

Saw a old Russian documentry about experiments at a fox farm. They took the most non-agressive and laid back foxes and did selctive breeding. It was rather amazing, perfectly tame foxes that were identical to domesticated dogs was accomplished in just a few generations.

Being commie Russians, when they terminated the experiment, they killed and skinned all the tame & friendly foxes for their pelts.

Yes. Some fox are naturally less afraid of humans and therefore can be made into pets if hand raised early enough.

Russian scientists were able to breed a domestic fox:
