Exposing Animal Abuse - Fox Village In Japan

[@kyles_5109]

Foxes aren't pack animals they shouldn't be put into an in closed area like that.

[@bfoxGuile]

it makes sense they wouldnt get along hearing about this, they are naturally alone and not in packs unlike bunnies or even wolves sometimes, thats why rabbit island works

[@katiejones3260]

this is a terrible idea for foxes to be in a place like this they only come together to breed and then there will only be the two together. this is dangerous and will make them angry this is why they all look beaten up coz they are fighting to eat. foxes don't look this beaten up when they are in the wild. it is heart breaking to see them all in such a state.

[@Honeypot-x9s]

Being a non pack animal doesn’t mean they can’t get along, the issue is likely some sorta abuse issue. These foxes are not acting how they would in the wild. Foxes in the wild are surprisingly social creatures that basically share... sure there is the occasional argument sometimes. It appears forcing these conditions and/or any abuse maybe causing problems..

[@Itsyaboyd.wav666]

@Kasey Sorce so true ! :(

[@bennu547]

I was thinking the exact same thing. Maybe they don’t feed them and just rely on visitors to. They need to make sure all the foxes eat. Having the visitors do it is not gonna grantee they all get fed because they’ll compete. If they’re begging for small scraps of food, I don’t think they feed them themselves. I don’t think they’d beg that much if they get regular meals

Deforestation for soy beans are killing the ozone layer more then anything else. And you have to import not only soy beans but the rest of your vegan crap. That’s great for the environment. There is no way in hell that any diet doesn’t hurt animals or nature in some way. And quite frankly, being vegan is one of the worst

[@thatwhitelatina]

this is wrong on so many levels. please dont go here again, paying to go here makes them think its okay to continue and run places like this, this is not okay.

[@thegreatMSG]

Just my own opinion though. If not mistaken that place was originally a fox farm. a place where fox pelts were harvested. then something happened and they no longer slaughter the fox for pelts but instead turn it into a zoo or something like that. what do you think will happen to the massive amount of foxes if the place is shut down? I don't think they will release all of them into the wild, as it will surely disturb the ecosystem. most likely all the fox will get killed. or even if they are being released they can't even survived in the wild anyway. think again when you think about shutting down all these zoo like facility. tbh It felt like the facility is short of hand and fundings to take care of all the fox.. boycott it might actually make things worst actually.

Guys... this is a sanctuary. Where else should they go? As it sounds they are all foxes who can't go back to the wild. It's basically the last station except for zoos, and japanese zoos aren't better than this. The mainproblem is just that the owners don't treat them well. Maybe it got too much to handle. Not enough food, no birthcontroll and too many foxes cramped together. And the fucked up thing of caging / chaining them for tourists amusement... animal care in japan is just horrible.... same issues with the rabbit island only that the rabbits don't have owners and are practically feral but untreated and starving.

I’m pretty sure foxes are solitary animals. So having a huge group of them is just gonna cause a lot of fights. I don’t know for sure but that just makes sense to me. Yeah they have a lot of space but they’re naturally gonna wanna compete with each other. And I have to wonder if they even feed them. Obviously the larger more alpha foxes are gonna have an easier time getting food from the others. The albino, smaller foxes and stuff like that are gonna have a very hard time competing for food

[@Honeypot-x9s]

They are surprisingly social animals that in the wild are gentle and curious and can even share. the issue runs deeper, forced conditions and maybe abuse and/or neglect.

[@bennu547]

But foxes don’t live in groups like wolves do. They don’t exactly rely on a pack. Being social really isn’t the same as working in a pack. Wolves, lions and other animals like them need to be in groups and are often seen together. I haven’t seen a ton of wild foxes but I’ve never seen them in groups. And being forced in such a large group isn’t something that they’re probably used to

[@Honeypot-x9s]

YamiNoGame we have about five foxes on my property or near by property, absolutely understand stand what you mean however I wouldn’t exactly call them solitary either. It’s somewhere in between, absolutely. Our wild foxes have actually gotten really close to us at times and never bothered us either like I was probably no further then 5 feet from one sniffing around my drive way other day. Infact they sometimes play with the dogs in neighborhood on occasion :) it’s truely interesting! I think foxes are just super misunderstood.. my state has a law against foxes as pets without some special work arounds and when I researched why my state says no, they classify them as dangerous Predatorial animals, in the same category as large wild cats Infact.. ugh. Yet my wild encounters with foxes been nothing but charming and friendly....

[@evelynharber6077]

@@Honeypot-x9s Actually the foxes are solitary animals so being in this grouping is NOT natural for them and actually forces the foxes to fight for leadership and food.

[@onyxstewart9587]

@@evelynharber6077 It's actually a myth that foxes are solitary. I've been watching foxes in the wild for over a decade and all of them have lived in groups. They are solitary hunters, as in they don't hunt cooperatively, however it's normal for them to live in small family groups, typically consisting of a breeding pair and 1-3 non-breeding adult vixens from previous litters. Sometimes groups can be even larger than that, it all depends on the size of the territory and the availability of food. What is unnatural is having unrelated adult foxes together. Like wolves, foxes are very family orientated and form close bonds with their family members, but will not tolerate unrelated foxes.

[@sarathehomesteadreader3315]

This makes my heart hurt. I raised rescue foxes growing up. These poor things are filthy, underfed and poorly taken care of. It is possible to keep foxes in large groups but they are fighting like this because of a lack of resources. I understand that people can have their hearts in the right place to want to help. Sometimes people get in over their heads which may be the case here. But from what I can see here this is not to the level to keep these creatures healthy.

[@DrimeGFXandGaming]

I would never have gone to such a place when you are supporting something that is not right

[@TheEmoskater11]

or hes exposing it because his videos have actually been used for news articles do you just have nothing better to do than just be angry someone exposed this place i have never heard of this place and i feel as though this will make it into the news it also said no photographs and why do you think that is and he captured it he obviously felt bad

[@Ben-fu3pd]

@@TheEmoskater11 this is why people hate Americans. Sticking their nose in other countries business while America itself is falling apart.. you going to go to Korea and tell them to stop eating dogs? No you won't because it's none of your business and it's none of joshes. It's not about being angry it's about self entitled people sticking their little noses in places they don't belong.

[@l.t._1511]

Ben Ben it’s just a video, if it goes out on the new then let it, it’s not his fault, in this video he said nothing about how Japan was bad, he just saying that he thinks it could be animal abuse

[@bennu547]

It’s never entitled to show sympathy or compassion for another life no matter where you are

Ben Oh yes. Our love of animals and hatred of animal abuse is just awful. You’re an idiot.

they need to feed them properly and give them medical treatment

[@ariz2233]

they’re literally fighting for small pieces of food, so sad :( all the weak ones starve for sure

[@kriegermaria9923]

[@LINTOXO]

we need to get these places shut down and the foxes given medical help!!THIS IS WRONG!!

[@graciemitchell2265]

it makes me sad seeing the condition these foxes are in. thank you josh for bringing awareness to people about this place. this is definitely a place i would never go to. hopefully someone can find a way to shut down this place and get the foxes back up to good health in conditions😢

Again, offer a place the foxes could go. They're practically domestic foxes at this point, they can't be released in the wild, and I doubt there's enough zoos willing to accept this many foxes.

[@urielhernandez1459]

Seeing the foxes and those abandoned rx7's made me sad

[@o63]

I can't tell it is abuse or not. It is certainly there are some foxes with poor fur. But there is a board written by Japanese language "It's fox's molting period in summer. I'm sorry about that."「夏の毛換期です。（みにくくてすみません）」3:29 If you google image search by "molting period fox", you can find a lot of similar foxes. These foxes are shedding their fluffy winter coat.

[@sidcakkes]

This place is just fucked up. I love Japanese culture and am planning on visiting soon. I agree with everyone and in no way am I defending the Fox Village BUT what if they don't have the funding to care for the foxes as well as they'd like? As big of a tourist attraction as it is, the place is really run down. The "designated" petting foxes made me lose my shit. Yes, most of the foxes get to roam around a large area... but the others no doubt live their lives in those cages. They are kept separate so they don't develop any aggressive behaviors.

[@bestkilljoyy]

The fact that the foxes were fighting over water in the beginning is terrible.

[@marianamarimarimariana3973]

Also we can clearly see this place is doing them no good, they are stressed and depressed, fighting each other, skinny and with scars all over, clearly hungry as well. And exclusive use of petting? This is fucked up

[@watchmoon8417]

wow, it's really sad to see this. I saw many videos at least from a year ago and these foxes where healthy and active, something happened that they're not being taken care of. It would be good to talk to someone from there and get to know the real situation behind it.

[@MacFyrestone]

Yeah- i saw this on insta- and ofc the top performing vids when i looked it up are older- no injured foxes, no horrible fighting- just preciousness. But then i scrolled down to this and its night and day difference. I was so happy and excited and putting this on my list of places i want to go- and then i found this and i just feel numb....

[@RemovingTheWingus]

They all look terrible. All of them look so stressed to the point of hair loss. I sincerely hope this place gets taken down, this isn't natural, moral, or good for the foxes in any way.

I thought it would be lovely to see foxes in a sanctuary while visiting Japan. But this video exposed a tragically different situation.

[@ASHERUISE]

In older videos of Fox Village, it wasn't like this at all and the foxes seemed much happier and healthier. So what happened?

[@amypham2577]

Feel so bad for the foxes :(

[@RetroNero]

These foxes look like statues!

[@tianasheppard2485]

[@scarletshield009]

They are starving and tossing little morsels cannot feed them all.

[@sarahmiles1999]

The foxes were really cool to see. To me though they look beat up and hurt. I think it’s safe to say that they are not being taken care of. Breaks my heart 💔

[@Jodiee1D]

This is heartbreaking, I’m literally crying. This place is disgusting, don’t understand how it’s allowed!!??

[@kaylaray8885]

It's japen there standered of animal isn't like other places . I feel like like they see them as money opportunity more then a living thing

[@poseyszn]

I actually cried watching this, it absolutely broke my heart.

[@side-fish]

If you ask me, maybe they're under funded. I think having an organization or charity work with the fox village will help them out. There are better ideas than shutting down a place as I've seen many people suggest.

[@cariwallis1806]

Watching this video made me sick, I couldn't finish watching. BUT I am very glad you made this video because the more people that see it the better chance that something will change. Thank you

[@hydrolaural]

Breaks my heart. I know of people who have foxes as pets and also have lived where wild foxes also live. This is totally unnatural and abuse. Thank you for bringing light to this. I had no idea!

[@chloejohnston9955]

This is the saddest thing Ive seen, they need to have this place shut down.

[@BeetleB]

Poor animals… I can’t believe most people go here, find the few fluffy foxes to video and photo just to post online. Humans truly are sick. After everything I’ve seen/read about with japan and animals I’ve decided to never visit any sort of animal establish in this country. These places shouldn’t be supported. The need to be openly discuss these issues is so vital for the sake of these animals. They need to be saved from this mistreatment.

I stopped watching because animals are my life, and mainly the caged foxes and the leashed fox upset me since they're SO cute yet treated horribly 😭 *PLEASE* report this place!
