小さなケージには「研修中」と書いてある。 彼らは新しい生活に慣れる訓練期間中らしい。 小さなケージやクレートで飼育するメリットを知っていますか？ 小さなスペースは動物の縄張り意識を満たし安心感を与えます。 あの新入り狐は壁に囲まれた小さなスペースにいる事で、余計な警戒心を持たずに済むのです。 たぶん24時間あそこに居る訳ではないはずです。

[@user-vv3dj2rf8c]

The small cage is labeled "in training". It appears that the animal is in a training period to get used to its new life. Do you know the advantage of keeping animals in small cages or crates? The small space fills the animal with a sense of territoriality and security. That new fox does not have to be extra vigilant by being in a small space surrounded by walls. In a confined space, there is no need to fear the possibility that other foxes will come and stay. If you are surrounded by walls, no enemies will appear from the walls. You only need to be aware of the open space. The fox probably will not be there 24 hours a day. Isn't that a special space where they only stay during the opening hours? Remember how cats like to hide in little boxes?

[@y-mefarm4249]

I used to have pet foxes when I was younger. They are very much like a dog and cat combined. They are food motivated and easy to train. I am surprised you didn't mention the wonderful aroma they have. Their urine is very pungent. Lol

[@jaclynh.y767]

Initially I thought its a place where foxes are all truly free roaming. But seeing them in small cages and leashes and humans using them to make money makes me feel sad. How they feed them, do they ensure that all the foxes are properly fed and taken care of? A fox in the wild eats a whole rabbit, yet they are being fed little crumbs of 'meat' here? 2:20 Being called 'dumb' when they are just wild foxes and being made to eat like a circus dog makes me furious. I don't think the 'free range' is truly what it is. I feel sad for the foxes. I can't support such a facility

Если лис нельзя трогать, то как работники ухаживают за лисами?😄 Я знаю людей которые держат лис у себя дома как собачек. При этом они брали их из ферм где лис разводят на мех, и никогда не слышала от них, что лис нельзя трогать. Дикие лисы опасны потомучто могут болеть бешенством. Но те лисы которые живут под наблюдением людей привиты))

[@yo2trader539]

The chain and cage is necessary to separate them from rest of the pack. As puppies that are less a year old, they may not survive without special care and food. Whether it's wild dogs are foxes, in nature they do get killed by their own quite a bit.
