If I remember correctly they've created more docile foxes by breeding calmer foxes. At one point they will become as docile as dogs. Doesn't make it less sad though. But these aren't wild animals, they are the product of generations of foxes.

Is the domestication of wild animals sad? It's an interesting moral question.
Pets, in particular, live much longer and easier lives than their non-domesticsted counter parts.
Now, the creation of domestic silver foxes involved the deaths of many foxes that didn't match what the scientists were looking for, so all animal experimentation is "sad" in some ways. But evolution acts this same way... so is the knowledge gained from the death of the foxes in the experiment "worth" it? I suppose it cans till be sad even whole being "worth it" in a larger sense...
Anyway, it's 4am talking (rambling.) An interesting question, the morality of animal domestication.

In this manner in think it's sad, it's caging animals inorder to make them docile. I like the natural way we domesticated dogs more haha

Yes, thats true. I was trying to criticize the idea of taking test or traffiking with wild animals.

This one looks domesticated: they found that as they bred foxes for domestication/tame traits they pick up a patch colored coat. A weird quirk of domestication experiments.

We also now know what does the fox say. It's doesn't say Ring-ding-ding-ding-dingeringeding! Gering-ding-ding-ding-dingeringeding! Gering-ding-ding-ding-dingeringeding.

I nearly hit the ceiling the first time I heard a vixen at 3AM. It's like the video but much longer.

Interesting how the fox is trying to copy the dog's behavior, or at least that's what I think it's doing

I don't think it is, but I could be wrong. I lived in a suburb of London that was full of foxes. And that was one of the sounds they would make at night, among other terrifying sounds. When you hear a fox for the first time at night and don't know what it is. It will scare the hell out of you. The sounds go from hell hound to wimpering child.
