That fur. Looks good. ON THE FOX.
DONT TAKE IT AWAY.
I agree x
@@Animal-Watch same
Ppl are monsters for taking its fur away and all
@@chaotic_toast2137 agreed. Anyone who hunts foxes for sport or fur, deserves to be shot
@@ZynetESLD it is a bad thing who knows how many animals are endangered or gone because of this
@@chaotic_toast2137 yes. Exactly
My parents are animal fosterers and an injured silver fox came limping to our door my mom didn't want her to feel captivated so after we healed her leg we brought her back into the wild about a month later she comes to our door with some fox babies and we had her as not more than just a pet, but a family member, we kept her in the backyard which is connected to a forest, but sadly, she died a year ago, we named her Cora and still miss her to this day
Lillian Lunt that's beautiful
Lillian Lunt How are the babies?
The babies please give us update
@@zaylehman2 l
U ARE AMAZING FUR FARMS ARE SOO INCREDIBLY BAD THEY NEED TO BE ILLEGAL
and I’m so sorry that she died but I’m sure she is in fox heaven lol and enjoys her life and misses u loads
Also how r the babies!
I think the coat looks much nicer on the foxes body. I could never wear a fur coat =(
No, just wear a synthetic coat that helped pollute the planet and think you are living softly.
those fur coats look hilarious on a woman...
I will only wear a fake fur coat
Axickar Why not wear sheep fur?
KILL ALL THE BASTARDS WHO KILL ANIMALS FOR FUR !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
beautiful foxes, fur farms are a shame!
they are :(
Anneka Svenska Foxes and Some Wild Dogs you can Raise/Adopt them in Alaska
Anneka Svenska a huge shame. . . I love silver/black foxes
I'm from America but I'll solve the fur coat problem just add gum lol. But in truth I'm a nobody living in America until I get a job helping animals happy face.
Just like where your clothes are made and electronics
Modern slavery
It made me feel so sad seeing those silver foxes in those cages and some with horrible diseases
I know, never support the fur trade and this is where it comes from :(
Me too man, i would fucking flay those bitch ass motherfuckers
Jeremy Moore same 😭😭
I know it's horrible the conditions that they are in although Its a bit difficult to feel to sorry for them since they're a bunch of assholes, stealing and destroying everything.
@@Animal-Watch exactly. Silver foxes should only be bred, if it's for them to be a new breed that can survive out in the wild. Not for fur.
Mistreating these animals just to have their fur as a passing vanity object is seriously fucked up.
I wouldn't have the same objections if they just weren't treated so badly (just being cute doesn't elevate their inherent value compared to other intelligent animals in my eyes), but unlike cows or pigs you probably can't farm foxes in an ethical way even if you tried. They need to much space to be comfortable for that to be viable - so we just need to let this go.
Feeding our pure vanity needs on the backs of animal suffering is just unacceptable.
TheStigma THAT, plus there is another major difference for me - with say cows we use every single part of them, nothing goes to waste. We milk them, we eat their meat, process their organ meat, we refine and use the fat, use their skin as leather, use their horns and hooves for buttons... Regardless of the inherent moral issues, at least it's an efficient process that's useful and can help many people fill their basic needs like food etc. But killing animals just for their fur, not out of an actual need but a frivolous wish for a fashionable coat? *That's* truly barbaric, imho.
@@qwertyCandy True. But I still think cows ect. Deserve a life free needless suffering. Meat and hide may be less of a luxury than fox-pelts, but it's not something we couldn't afford to pay a little more for to make their lives decent. Most people would only benefit from less meat in their diets anyway.
TheStigma Yeah, I totally agree with that - I would gladly pay twice as much if it meant that they will have a decent life with as little stress as possible. Funnily enough I actually used to be a vegan, for many years, since my stance was that if we don't need to eat meat in order to live a healthy and full life, then I don't think that an animal deserves to die just to be my lunch. I still keep that stance, except I no longer believe 100% plant based diet is enough for full health (btw I'm not trying to make anyone decide one way or another, just sharing an opinion). And vegetarianism seems like a half measure since it still means farming cattle etc. So while I get that my stance on the this is probably very atypical... I would absolutely love to pay extra if it would buy them a significantly better life :)
Also I look forward to insect farms - insect seems very nutritious, eco-friendly and much less morally problematic. And imho can be made into a tasty meal with a good preparation. So I wish it was a readily available alternative to beef etc. :(
@@qwertyCandy just wait till technology develops eventually we will grow the cells for the food from cows that we want and just cook that. Meaning farming cows like that would be inefficient.
Wow, those are some beautiful foxes I always wanted to have one as a pet, but I know they wouldn't want to be in a house they want to be outdoors we're they could run wild. I hate how these fur farms take these beautiful animals and hold them captive in a cage just for a fur coat 😠. Loved the vid by the way ❤
thankyou Matthew
matthew ramirez I hate it all. It's cruel and mean. The dogmeat trade is horrible as well. I will never eat meat again knowing what these animals go through. Not only other countries abyss animals before being slaughtered but right here in the states farm animals are bring raised in horrible conditions and being slaughtered in such a horrific way. No thanks I pass on any kind of animal abuse. I won't support it in any way or form. I wish I knew better and was better educated about this years ago because I would of gone vegan way back then instead of only the last two yrs. There's no way to kill an animal in a humane way. It's all mean. There's so many meat alternatives nowadays. They have veggie burgers now that taste and look just like meat. Well close enough. I'd sacrifice a little just to save a life so if it doesn't taste exactly like a burger then who cares. The world is so messed up because of these meat farms. We can't produce enough meat for everyone eventually nit without destroying our world. It will eventually all come to an end plus now days the new generation is now seeing what we didn't see so much of. Awareness is being spread and eventually everyone will know and see what really goes on. I just wish it was now.
Annie P * Beauty Defying Age I couldn't have said it better myself. I agree with all u have said. Those beautiful creatures should be in the wild NOT being made into disgusting fur coats. I can't believe that in 2017 the t ruely horrible and vile fur trade is still going on, being allowed to treat animals in the most awful way,, just so some other horrible person can wear a fur coat! What sort of person wears a fur coat and thinks it's ok to do so? They mustnt have any feelings for the animals. No wonder the earth I is in the state it Is. I am sorry I am going on so much! I could cry and cry over what I see on the internet, i am very often ashamed to be a human being. I hope something big happens to change our world and rid it of all cruel people and practices. God bless u xxx
You can have a fox as a pet, there are breeders in the uk, America and other places that breed domesticated foxes and they are considered exotic pets. in Russia they started doing it back in the 1950's. And before someone says they should be in the wild, domesticated foxes are just the same as dogs, which were domesticated from wolves and they are now mans best friend. And the same goes for all pets - cats, rats, mice, birds, rabbits, ferrets, even horses and lots more
What you said about dogs from wolves is true but do you realize how many generations of animals must be bred (down) for it to be domesticated? Wow probably a few hundred. Remember the dog was domesticated from the grey wolf. This was probably done for many generations before the domestic dog was in fact its own breed.
Such a beautiful animal! I pray that humans don't eliminate them!
They aren't endangered their just being mistreated in fur farms
It would be a blessing once humans go extinct
@@epictacocatgalaxy4697 you realize you would die right
They are so much more beautiful and fascinating when they are alive
I wish I could wipe animal abusers from this earth. Any humans nature can be judged by the way he/she treats animals.
dirkie draadloos Skinning them alive is even fairer.
howtorideahorse Depends, did they skin the animal alive? They deserve what they did.
I agree
animal worshippers that will sacrifice humans
Hi Anneka, You are really a beautiful lady inside/outside as well. I truly admire you a great deal cause you are so.....sweet to be able to rescuing all the beautiful animals. Please don't stop rescuing them. I really appreciated your kindness !
what a beautiful comment - thankyou so much for your support May Ling x
Thanks Anneka for educating us such good morals to care about such magnificent creature alongside your nice guest.
Regards,
Ahmad,
thankyou
Fur coats on humans are never ok! It is never ok to abuse animals for any reason!
Tell that to Native Americans and while you're at it why don't you investigate the w100 polluting steps required to make synthetic clothing.
David A. native Americans also eat the animals and used the fur to survive winters so it isn't the same thing as people killing animals only for their fur simply for a fashion statement and do you honestly believe they don't use chemicals to treat and make fur coats you can buy in a store
David A. So just because it's not fur that doesn't mean there is only synthetic clothing left. There is linen, cotton, hemp and many other fibers that can be used for clothing that are ethically producable. Wool also if the sheep are well cared for . Especially linen is skin friendly, doesn't need as much water as cotton and is great with temperature regulation, also it has been used for centuries.
Fur coats are pointless now. We can make exact replica out of different materials. I believe as soon as we got technology to gain our own clothes animal slaughter is no longer needed for their fur.
i got a fur coat at home it looks stylish but its shit on the skin gave me allergies .. yes i regret buying one ..
oh holy God why do humans put these beauties in so much pain?
Heartbreaking
Fashion I guess
every time I watch this channel I want to adopt something, it pulls at my inner animal lover
This makes me want to do hostile takeovers of fur farms and save all the poor animals there
lovely video of Angel and Darla, have fed and cuddled them many times they are so sweet xx
how lovely Louise
Another one of my favorite animals. I never have and will support the fur industry and will definitely be donating to organizations that help them.
Im not anti hunting but fur farms make me sick all for the sake of fasion
Richard Morgan same
I love hunting but I agree fur farms are wrong
Exactly. It's like, I'm not myself a hunter, but if you're hunting for food, then I understand. But foxes, they are killed for fur. Now, back in the past, I can understand it out of necessity to survive and for trade. But now that Faux Fur is a thing, there isnt really a point. Other than to please the rich. So, of we get rid of those who want it, then these farms will shut down operations.
Really smart animals.
Such beautiful animals, I'm in love!
Beautiful animal, saddens me they are being killed for fashion
That seemed like a pretty chill Fennec... Mine seems calmer then most I see online, but she would have been squirming around more.
Ooh so beautiful and graceful!
Yeah, they really do seem to bond don't they? They like to be with their human and get lots of play time with them and love from them or as you said they get upset. Better for them to get a bit angry than depressed though. Not for the uninitiated or for people without the space and time for them, however. You sound like you're doing right by your fox. It's too bad people would give up their fox after a few bites. I figure any clawed or fanged animal you get as a pet, better be prepared to get scratched and bitten. I've never had more than two cats thus far in my life (no space for anything larger or more high maintenance), and right now I only have one. But even that little cat has clawed and bitten me to shreds a bunch of times, just for play or "tough love" I suppose you could call it, those weird moments when animals express affection by getting a bit violent.
Why would you waste so much money on real fur if it's so expensive and cruel to animals if you can just buy fake fur that looks like real fur
exactly
Looks and feels different just saying
Those are awesome!
One of the foxes had a cobweb on its nose so cute I'll never buy real fur much nicer left on the animal :)
I know, wasn't it cute? he was running around with on there, made me laugh
what a beautiful Animal,
OMG THEY ARE SO BEAUTIFUL
Animals in cages - it´s terrible. Only because some people want to something, that they don´t need to. Poorly animals.
Anneka, please, do you have any information about Spirit?
these ones are rescue foxes and this lady only keeps rescue - shes giving advice not to keep them as pets. Spirit is doing really well and I am filming her again soon in about 8 weeks time
Thank you so much. Also big thanks that lady.
Anneka Svenska excuse me miss can I marry you 😍😀
@@Animal-Watch if you do want one as a pet, then you should only do so if you are willing to allow them to roam free and be wild. They will only return to you if they truly trust you enough to care for them. That's my stance on the issue.
If you like the fox look, check out some dog breeds. Papillon is one that stays small and looks much like a fox but it's a great house dog!
I own a Papillon, and while they are gorgeous dogs, I would not exactly say that they look like foxes.
I would really be interested on wolf dogs and how to to take care of them how to train and what the different types are knowing that there are many and how much it would cost would be great to see love your content.
have you seen my films on wolfdogs, take a look
Okay I love this woman so much first she talks about wolves and dogs saving dogs from Korea now she's talking about foxes she has officially said everything that I love
I love all her videos and I LOVE her British accent
a beautiful foxy lady with some beautiful little foxes! love it! thank you so much.
thankyou
It's gorgeous
They are so uniquely beautiful
Thanks for posting this. I identify with that yearning to be part of the wild part of nature; to embrace and somehow be worthy of being embraced by it as well. Like so many, it is sometimes reflected in the ideas I have for what I want as a pet. But for both the animal's and my sake, I must go into that direction with some common sense. That's why I appreciate your approach of respecting peoples yearnings while trying to channel them in a beneficial direction. For those who desire such a beautiful creature like a fox, I would suggest a Norwegian Elkhound which also has a beautiful silver-grayish coat, plus the added advantage of being trainable and of course having been bred as a pet for so long. Also the Shiba Inu, although not the same color, and also a dog, has a very wild animal looking beautiful coat, but I think they may be somewhat more difficult to train than the Elkhound. Also of course all of the wolf-like dogs that you have identified that I had never heard of before.
great advice there Sean :)
Beautifull VD abaut foxes I thinking they are adorables 😗 and fascinating animals.I feeling adoration for they.So thankyou so much for your labor in favor the conservation this species.My gratefully for our sensibility. 😀
you are welcome
wow amazing
thankyou
Well,
thanks to the Fox breeding study by Dmitry Belayev, we know about the piebald gene and how all different breeds dogs came about.
Holy crap I’ve never seen those before!!
Majestic floof.
My friend has a pair of Reds one male and one female. They are rescues too. She handles them well but she raised them from kits and is the "certain type of person" required to handle them. They are adorable but they can be sneaky little troublemakers now and then.
I hate people who harm any animals my god get fake fur I am happy you are helping animals who don't have a voice.great job.
I'm so glad I watched this highly informative video. It really made me think how irresponsible it would be of me to buy a Silver Fox as a pet.
Much better for the fur traders to be born with fur so we could poach and skin them and leave the fox alone!
Beautiful black fur of the silver fox
foxes are my fave animal and I want a fox so badly!!!
I love you guys
At Monteverde, C.R. a silver fox approached me and ate a banana from my hand. It was a thrill. Also had a coati approach and saw a quetzel. God I love C.R.
My family had a red fox she was fantastic. Her and I were best friends. She did chew a few things of mine. She was sweet.
you lucky person i would love a fox cub to bring up one which was found alone it would be living with 5 ferrets to play with & my ferrets are like babys thay never bite any one some people get the wrong idear about them just like you are showiny your wild all the best bob
This is why I only use animal friendly silver fox fur. They're too adorable❤🦊
its so cute
Brilliant. Sled dogs/wolf's/foxes are all wild similar, but different. Imagine that. lol.
Question: Would spaying/neutering help reduce aggressive tendencies?
*I LOVE Silver Foxes!❤❤*
Aweee i so hope i meet i meet a woman like you 1 day . Clearly you are nice natured , great looking , great English accent ....if God ever sends me a woman like you i will be a very lucky man :)
thankyou
They are such magnificent creatures. I guess there are many Cons to keep them as a pet,, but I really don 't recall seeing any Pros in your video. Are there any that I just missed? Like your interviewee said, it would greatly limit your ability to go anywhere without the fox having problems. I remember another video where a family was quite happy with their red fox pet, but they indicated they pretty much had to dedicate their entire life to make it work, which they seemed at that time to be willing to do.
I guess the pros are that they are beautiful and fun and simply gorgeous, but better to be free...and Angie advocates this. x
I hate fur farms and animal abusers! Leave those beautiful animals alone! Furs look better on the animals not on those stupid fur wearing animal abusers!
Had no idea there were so many fur factories here in Norway.
yes its one of the worst countries - they hide them away in rural locations and there are row after row of cages upon cages - like intensive chicken farming sheds almost
You doing really great job hopefully one day human can stop be selfish and understand that Animals life more important from fun .nice channel
Thumbs up.
There was a pet shop near me had one for sale.
after all this I can totally get one of these! This is my perfect fox. I am so ready for him. I am sososos ready. we have a GIANT yard that is perfect for them we can do all this for them. Lets do this!
Beautiful foxes. Love to watch wild animals, especially in settings where they can be the wild animals they are. But NO, I would NEVER adopt a wild animal to live with me. I'll get the only pet tenants are allowed to have in this apartment building--a small dog, a house cat, or maybe a bird, but the animal must be small and domesticated. We'll watch videos of lions, wolves, etc.!
I want it
There's one huge lack: they don't let us know if they're talking about the general fur foxes or the fur foxes that come from the domesticated breeding line (based on the fox'd behavior when she tried to touch it, I'd suggest they're not from the domesticated line). There would be a massive difference. I mean, I have seen people keeping the domesticated foxes indoors, though I don't know how many accomodations they've had to make in the house.
Very depressing to view how caged foxes are treated...these types of humans are despicable and greedy...
Keep up the wonderful work saving these poor creatures
It’s gut wrenching to think of all the poor animals suffering at the hands of humans 💔
It's gut sufferint to think of all the poor humans suffering at the hands of humans....
that fur is gorgeuos... on the FOX
It's unbearable how beautiful they are.
What a cute Foxes
Such a beautiful animal. Pains me to see the cruelty in making a coat out of these creatures unnecessarily.
I love this episode ,I wish if I adubt a fox
So herrliche Tiere! 💖💖💖💖💖 Nicht ermorden! Nicht quälen! Sie haben auch ein Lebensrecht!
what is the title of the music?
I’m moving to Yokohama and I’m just hoping to find a friend when I arrive. I just can’t find out if it is legal to adopt a fox in Yokohama
3:18 the fox like hello again got more treats I see your talking about us also it has something on it's face
Phss my dog (a American eskimo Sheba mix) does this on a daily basis
Who ever weres fur coats or has anything to do with fur farms should experience pain much worse than death
I disagree with half of what you said
Yoooo I've heard that song before...the song from the background....idk where tho...its so familiar and it brings back so many memories but just can't remember...dammit
Yes it is worth it
id rather have a foxxo than a coat
the background music what is it?
Cheeky little foxes.
she has a really cool fox scarf just wanted to point it out
Such beautiful creatures. A curse on those who keep them in tiny cages and murder them for their fur.
Always wanted to silver fox
I know I'm late but are these the ones that are domesticated
Lakyu! Hi there
If you like me, don't want to wear any dead animals on you. Where do you find good warm winter coats where you can be sure, no animals were harmed/killed/slaughterleftover in making of?
absolutely x
What about the domesticated silver foxes in Russia? I don't know if it is possible to get one as a pet, but would they be domesticated enough to make good pets compared to the wild foxes?
Wow! I always wanted to have a silver fox as a pet! But unfortunately I don't think I would be a good owner for it. I'm never home, I travel and have a lot to study when I'm home. Only pet I can have is dog - I can, and I take him everywhere with me. He is my life companion, but I'm sure I cannot walk around with a fox on a leash... :/
I'm thinking to get it maybe when I'm a bit older and when I'm home, when I have a lot of time, we'll see:)
you'd need a large enclosure as they will wreck your house like the lady says in the film
I like British accent
To everyone who says a fox is not meant to be a pet:
Please define a 'pet'.
And let me correct you a tiny bit: EVERY animal can be a 'pet'. It's just that not every animal is a suitable pet for every person.
This comes from a person who keeps rattlesnakes, other less dangerous snakes and tarantulas as 'pets', and happy with them on a very different level than keeping a dog or a cat, which I as well have. All depends on what exactly you expect and want from your pet.
Simple.
such a amazing creature humans are the real feral animals
I have seen silver foxes in the wild in Colorado
