That's why prudent farmer keeps geese around because sometimes these birds are aggressive enough to scare away a fox and guard hens.
I don't know if a regular fox would handle my rabbit farm since rabbits we breed are larger than your average fox. Flemish Giants are huge. XD
^ Pics of your giant bunnies, please! (Maybe not in here, or foxes eat them, go to the cuteness thread.)

Meet Fleet.
Driving to work this morning I spotted not one, not two but three foxes lying in the road.
Kinda small too, so I'd guess cubs. Three dead foxcubs.
BEHOLD! THE SIG OF GOLDEN TRUTH! Pillaged from McJon, Tsukikan et al.
^ ;_;
So cute.
Noooooooooooooooooooooooooo! ;_;
One must know the path one runs even if the ground underfoot is not as one chooses
Aw, so, so pretty.
Is that firefox browser? I cannot see.
I think that it is.
The meme is dead, long live the meme.

[3:24:42 PM] Italian Leo: but rather a shining ray of hope
Eh, it would be ironic if anything else than that.
I've zoomed in, and really can't tell. I'm thinking not though, since firefox has that orange 'firefox' box in the top left when the window is maximized...

Fox = Dog. There's already a Dog Thread.
Except not, they are seperate from dogs proper like wolves. They cannot interbreed at all.
Still.
Foxes should be in the dog thread.
Opinions.
Dude, it'd be the same as if someone else made "The Tiger Thread", "The Snow Leopard Thread", even if there's already a Cat Thread. Therefore, spam. It's not about opinion.
The Dog thread is for all the canine species, not only for the domestic dog.
I will gladly create a wall of text to justify why foxes should be considered a thing on their own rather than lumped with domestic dogs and wolves:
- genetically, they are enough distinct and cannot interbreed no matter what with other canines. Yes, they are canines, but again, hyenas are related to felines and nobody thinks of them as cats. Canines are broad enough to accomodate too tribes considered distinct enough to consist of many subgroups: true dogs (Canis) and true foxes (Vulpini). Dogs may interbreed with coyotes, jackals and wolves since they are of the same genus, but foxes and dogs split long time ago. As for felines, they can interbreed to more extent than canines, as tigers can do it with lions, or domestic cat with their small cousins like lynx.
- behaviorally, foxes exhibit different personality from Canis genus, exhibiting traits that have more in common with cats than with dogs.
- culturally, folk culture all around the world, from pre-Columbian North America to Japan, has always viewed foxes as distinct from wolves and dogs, embodying different virtues and vices. In mass consciousness, foxes are different from other canines.
- if you really nitpick, Bear Thread and Dog Thread should be merged since bears are caniforma and share the same ancestor with dogs and foxes, as well as with pandas, skunks, badgers, raccoons and seals.
If the fact that Fox Thread shares the same space in GD as Dog Thread is inconvienient to you, I don't really mind if it is moved to 7th Dimension since I don't really care much about the post count.
Foxes may be dogs, but I think they still deserve own thread. I've never thought foxes as dogs, they look so different.
I give you an example: I think Seiba Lion as a cat, but I don't think Casko as a dog!
Haha, I've never thought of that before.I don't think Casko as a dog!
