See?! ^^^

Domesticated animals can carry rabies too, better shoot your neighborhood strays and loose pets to be certain

 

[CBJ]

Yes, kill them all.

Foxes. Way better than a pack of cougars in the 'hood.

Note if your neighbor has rabies, he could give it to your kid. Kill your neighbors to be safe...

All species of mammals are susceptible to rabies virus infection...Transmission of rabies virus usually begins when infected saliva of a host is passed to an uninfected animal. The most common mode of rabies virus transmission is through the bite and virus-containing saliva of an infected host. Though transmission has been rarely documented via other routes such as contamination of mucous membranes (i.e., eyes, nose, mouth), aerosol transmission, and corneal and organ transplant

...

Any animal bitten or scratched by either a wild, carnivorous mammal or a bat that is not available for testing should be regarded as having been exposed to rabies...Unvaccinated dogs, cats, and ferrets exposed to a rabid animal should be euthanized immediately.

Exposure to the Virus

People usually get rabies from the bite of a rabid animal. It is also possible, but quite rare, that people may get rabies if infectious material from a rabid animal, such as saliva, gets directly into their eyes, nose, mouth, or a wound.

Scratches, abrasions, open wounds, or mucous membranes contaminated with saliva or other potentially infectious material (such as brain tissue) from a rabid animal constitute non-bite exposures. Occasionally reports of non-bite exposure are such that postexposure prophylaxis is given.

Inhalation of aerosolized rabies virus is also a potential non-bite route of exposure, but except for laboratory workers, most people won’t encounter an aerosol of rabies virus.

Other contact, such as petting a rabid animal or contact with the blood, urine or feces of a rabid animal, does not constitute an exposure.

The only well-documented cases of rabies caused by human-to-human transmission occurred among eight recipients of transplanted corneas, and recently among three recipients of solid organs. Guidelines for acceptance of suitable cornea and organ donations, as well as the rarity of human rabies in the United States, reduce this risk.

In addition to transmission from cornea and organ transplants, bite and non-bite exposures inflicted by infected humans could theoretically transmit rabies, but no such cases have been documented. Casual contact, such as touching a person with rabies or contact with non-infectious fluid or tissue (urine, blood, feces) does not constitute an exposure and does not require postexposure prophylaxis. In addition, contact with someone who is receiving rabies vaccination does not constitute rabies exposure and does not require postexposure prophylaxis.

Bah, rabies... I'm sure there's an app for that.

They aren't going to try to take on anything that is larger than them, or equal size for that matter. I've seen blue heelers chase off foxes. They pretty much are scared of anything that will chase them.

Breed them with poodles and sell the pups to rich white people

Ruskies have the real deal, why bother with cheap Canadian knock-offs?

You can already buy domesticated foxes from Russia:

There is an interesting video about how they domesticated them here:

I find it cruel how they treat the animals, but what they learned from their experiments is interesting.

Someone needs to make a joke about Russian helicopters versus the ones MMike designs

 

[dante]

I was going to make a comment about how there's hope yet that we can breed out MMike's qualities from the human population...


Then I thought that that might be mean.
