Also on a side note, do you think that taking an animal out of the wild and depriving it of it’s opportunities to hunt and use it’s natural instincts in favor of a seemingly more comfortable and easy going longer life is okay?
well, i think everything in your question is illegal. if you want to own a wild animal, you have to get a license to house wildlife on your property. and with that, you have to provide adequate fencing, so your wldlife does not leave your property. its a big hassle with the state and county you live in, that can result in random inspections of your home.
wild animals (animals in general) do not think like humans…when you take them out of their natural habitat, away from their natural diet, behavior and every day activities they were evolved to do…you will end up with a very unhealthy and psychologically damaged animal that can end up dangerous. so it is most defiantly not OK to remove a species from its natural life. domesticated animals understand the meaning of a comfortable easy going life. wild animals know the meaning of survival of the fittest.
Arizona requires permits for almost every wild animal and they’re hard to get.
If you get a red fox, he may seem to be a great pet. But he is still a WILD animal. And if he slips out of your door, he’s gone and you will never see him again.
