So, what do you guys think?

Discuss:
Domesticating wild animals
Animals you'd like to see domesticated
More information you might have on this topic
Anything at least somewhat related to all this

EDIT: I support the idea of domestication for scientific purposes. I do not support the idea of putting domesticated animals back into the wild. (where, regardless of instincts, a domestic animal can not survive) Therefore, I think if this experiment is successful, they should sell the animals as pets. If you do not agree with these beliefs, feel free to say so, but please DO NOT ATTACK ME PERSONALLY!

Generally, not a good idea. A wild animal is just that and sometimes, (not all the time) things can turn out badly.

Well, how do you think people started keeping dogs as pets?

Thats really not fair. No one has the right to play "god." We should not have done it with animals before now. The more we do it the less we will apprecaite the enviroment we live in.

Things aren't the same as it was before in the past...and people keep wild animals as pets anyway....

Oneof these days people are going to try to domesticate something that isn't going to want to be domesticated.

We'llsee how well humans handle it then.

Surely just having a dog is a better idea.. Foxes are wild animals.

The whole thing is being conducted by scientists, and it's based off of the level of hormones they have. It's about as safe as animal domestication can get.

I'm sure that some people want them to be domesticated so we can keep up the numbers in the over all fox population.
