This is all nice and cute but how will fox domestication be represented in the future by these types of comic strips?
Fox's aren't going to be domesticated.
Foxes dont follow a hierarchical system like dogs, cats or horses where there is an Alpha (the owner of the animal) whom they fall under in the pecking order.
Foxes like to shit and piss all over everything and burrow Into couches. Good luck with the fox thing.
That hierarchy thing was proven to be bullshit ages ago
Can you send me a link to where you heard that?
From Scientific American, “Is the Alpha Wolf Idea a Myth?”
Ah, fair enough, thank you.
I personally dont think we're close to fox total domestication however. It seems like we've selective breed a human friendly temperament but there's more to it than that for the sake of pet-ness that I'm sure people like to have. That is the main point in my OP. They love to mark, burrow into furniture and cause other problems. Those issues I think will be harder to alter than temperament. Probably not in my lifetime or most of ours in my opinion.
