Happy Birthday Corey!

Kill the Fox!

[hypatias mom]

Foxes are only bred and raised commercially for their pelts. I can't really see this being a desireable thing for an animal lover.

[Oroigawa Koreyasu]

...but I like foxes. They're cute...

[hypatias mom]

Yes, they are. But they are not tame enough to keep as pets. I really don't think you want to raise them for their primary commercial purpose.

[Jess]

Do people eat fox meat?

[Oroigawa Koreyasu]

*covers ears*

LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA!

[Jess]

*Sigh*

[Gilrean Treebane]

Then we'll just get foxes instead

foxes shouldn't bother the horses so why not ^_^

[Jess]

I heard that they eat horses

[Oroigawa Koreyasu]

A horse could kick a fox's ass

[Gilrean Treebane]

I heard that they eat horses

see a pack of wolves maybe but you see I've known a pony, yes a pony, who killed a doberman. Said doberman was chewing on her tail so she kicked him in the skull. Dead Doggy. I don't think a fox would pose much of a threat to even a miniature horse.

[Jess]

Horses arent very mean though.

[Gilrean Treebane]

Horses arent very mean though.

hah shows what you know. I've known plenty of horses who are downright mean. I mean there are horses who I avoid whenever possible for fear that they're gonna bite me or kick at me or run me down. Horses are big animals. Big strong animals. And actually the smaller they are the bigger the attitude. I'd much rather have a huge draft horse than a tiny pony because 9 times out of 10 the big horse will be sweeter than the tiny pony. Sure the tiny pony might be easier to muscle around but those teeth and pointy hooves hurt! Trust me, horses can indeed be mean.

[Jess]

OK i am proven wrong

[Gilrean Treebane]

OK i am proven wrong

yes yes you are.

[Jess]

Noes!

[Gilrean Treebane]

[Oroigawa Koreyasu]

Jess, absolutely do not argue with Gil about horses. You will lose, every time.

[Jess]

Noes! I wont lose!

[Ari Rahikkala]

Yes, they are. But they are not tame enough to keep as pets. I really don't think you want to raise them for their primary commercial purpose.

You can breed the wild out of foxes within a human lifetime. Still, yeah, I don't think you'd want to try to do it as a commercial venture...

[hypatias mom]

Yeah, but just like today's dogs were bred from wild wolves and are no longer very much like their ancient ancestor, so the fox can be bred for tame characteristics, but you end up with an animal that is no longer much like its wild cousins. A lot can be achieved by breeding selectively, but the naturally occuring fox is not temperamentally suited to being a pet.

[Gilrean Treebane]

Hasn't anyone seen the fox and the hound? ... not the Disney is a good judge of what can happen in real life...

[Jess]

Disney was anti-jews wasn't he, or is that just a rumor


cause I hope it is a rumor

[Prodigy Almighty]

What? I'm fairly certain Walt Disney was not Anti-semitic.

[b3n|<3r|\|]

Most of what I know is from the Simpsons, and they referenced that. Roger Meyers Snr's "Nazi Superman are our Superiors" in the Itchy and Scratchy Land episode.

[Wil Nider]

Hell, everybody was anti-semetic in those days, it was why the Nazis were tolerated. Obviously the Final Solution was largely a secret until Allied troops went into Germany and Poland and discovered the concentration camps, but still.

T.S. Elliott, Walt Disney...many many people!

[Jess]

wow!
