The only chance you would have of being able to remotely domestic one would be find one as a puppy and have it grown up around human folk and not needing to worry about scavenging for food or predation. If you just put one in your house after its known nothing but the wild it will always be a burden rather than a companion.
You know that’s not a thing that’s necessarily exclusive to foxes right? But thanks for letting everyone know how hyper-focused you are on urine, real riveting stuff and I would expect nothing less.
Foxes are moronic little shits and you would know if you actually interacted with one and not fall for the cute fox videos. I get them playing in my garden nearly every night and sometimes they used to chase and attack people in the area. For me it's getting a black panther
>that episode in season one of Baskets where Martha thinks she rescued a lost dog from the desert and ends up bringing a coyote home which ends up destroying everything in her house
Baskets was honestly pretty based, I loved the part where the stupid crust punk train hopper kid gets his head splattered on a signpost while hanging off the side of the train taunting the security guards chasing them and then it jump cuts to his funeral
>wanting a canid that isn't a dog
Never understand this. It's not like big cats where there's an obvious "upgrade" vs the domestic cat but it's almost as much trouble. Actually probably more trouble to own a wolf than a tiger, if it's a native wolf.
Read about the domestication syndrome. Basically only "moronic" animals with literally half of their brain missing can live with humans. Genetic engineering and selective breeding are beautiful.
>Rabies
This. I think yotes are cute and would consider housing one in my backyard zoo (I have chimps and ostriches, a bunch of McCaws and other birds, a snake pit, and 2 different endangered species).
Problem is, if the yote goes near my alligator, he's lunch! And the rabies would prolly turn my 'gate evil.
Bro. Rabies fricking originated from snake bites, back when we were settling the Wild West. Even fish can go rabid.
don't alligators eat everything? why hasn't ate your ostriches?
I run a very efficient backyard zoo. It's small because of my parents swimming pool, but I have four seperate quadrants: >chimps >birds >'gates >everything else
If anyone is interested in starting their own zoo, I suggest you watch this film.

reptiles can't get rabies
You’re all wrong, rabies only affects mammals but birds and reptiles can carry it, they are however asymptomatic
https://www.cdc.gov/rabies/animals/index.html
Take the cdc’s word for it with a grain of salt though I didn’t trust them when it came to getting jabbed
Just feed a wild pack until they grow so accustomed to you that the pups are allowed to join them then the pups will be chill with you when they’re adults. They’re overrated though same as foxes. And you might have an annoyed neighbour that shoots them when they start coming in. Keep that in mind
Quads of quantum tardation, have you ever interacted with a goose? Even the ones that are “domesticated” and raised as pets their entire life are extremely stupid and violent pricks if they think it at all benefits them in the slightest, like the pit bulls of the bird world. A lot of upper-midsized birds like geese, cranes, and swans are some of the c**tiest animals on the planet. Crows and ravens can be your absolute homies though if you’re consistent and treat them kindly.
I used to have a “domesticated” Canada goose that would bite my girlfriend if she got near me but be a total bro with me, he’d run up to me whenever he saw me in the park and do a happy dance around me then follow me around until I left.
Yeah that’s exactly what I said, they’re unintelligent and c**ty birds. What here did you say to prove me wrong? That one happened to be possessive of you? Cool
if i'm gonna gotta domestic a wild canid, it's good be this one. look at those spindly legs. so strange-looking. everyone who comes over will be all WTF is that.
If you raise a coyote from a puppy before it gets imprinted by other coyotes and gets all its wild instincts it will be more or less similar to a dog but good luck getting one

Seems to work fine for that moron with the dog and cats who feeds beers to the coyote.
Nothing really. Ever hear of Dmitry Belyayev?
Foxes are cooler. Get one of them.
I’ve always wanted a Tibetan fox because I think it would be cool to have an animal that looks as apathetic and fricking sick of shit as I do
*pisses on everything*
UwU so musky wusky!

>foxes will definitely piss in your house but other animals might too
wow you really got him

your better half of brain
lots of morons have tried to make coyotes pets over the centuries. they all learn to regret it. a coyote isn't a dog. it will never be a dog.

People want wild "unaltered by humans" animals.
Personally I would just get a dog that is really close to a wolf genetically.
That’s a Standard Poodle.

Are you based in Florida or something
Michigan.
I thought Brian died
Brian Dennehey?

Only mammals get rabies so no worries there
Birds and reptiles can get it too but it’s less common.

Hahahaha! I hope you never get a pet 'yote or pet 'gate. You're clueless about animals.

it's not going to want to be your dog. it will be constantly pissed until you let it go.
Yea you don't want one. It'll just be stressed out all the time. Probably try to bite your face off.

>Who is stopping me from owning a pet 'yote?
Nobody.

I’d personally rather go for a goose duck or crow

Cringe, lowT and nongoose-pilled.

Yeah? that’s based. A loyal c**t is worth a thousand prostitutes loyal to whoever feeds them, unironically like a roastie.

why are these guys so trendy lately
Reddit and zoomers like latching onto quirky animals from time to time.
Low T
for me it's a local squirrel that I leave nuts out for. little fricker even comes and stands at my kitchen window for more now.
For me its the possums that chill in my backyard every so often. For ugly overgrown rats the babies are cute as frick.
We get 'yotes where I live. They don't smell that good

if the Russians figured out how to turn dolphins into domesticated soldiers, is it possible for me to have a pet whale? It's for scientific research.
Stfu moron Russhits didn't invent using dolphins
>Stfu moron Russhits didn't invent using dolphins
Not according to seaQuest DSV
The Soviets killed JFK with a dolphin trained to be a sniper
Sorry fellas. I'm gonna trust the anon with an actual irl zoo over whatever you guys are.
Sometimes you just need to take the "L" and move on. Cujo found out the hard way.
