Gonna bump the Thread for this video, because it pretty much blew my mind
Never thought I'd see the day of Finnegan being this outright aggressive
But hey, it serves as a great reminder that Foxes, as cute as they are, are still wild animals :)

Yeah, that's to be expected when a wild animal gets a hold of a bag of kibble. Glad they managed to defuse it without anyone getting hurt.
I actually wanted to be Resileaf
Technically wild is the wrong word, Finny is a fur farm rescue so he's never been "in the wild". But he is definitely undomesticated.
That said, I suspect that you would see this kind of reaction from any dog whom you were trying to get food away from.

Hey you try to take my snacks away from me and I will be worse...

I just watched the vid.
Y'know, I have a 8 year old toy poodle...and she's gonna be far more aggressive than Finnegan in that vid when someone tries to take her snacks. Like, there literally will be blood. ![[lol]](https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lol2v12_4863.png "[lol]"){kind=small}

She was a pretty considerate thief though, she returned them without breaking them

I didn't know foxes could make this kind of noises... By the way, it's kinda nice to finally see deer in Save A Fox video, the way they were prancing in tall grass during the nightime looked so magical. Also, Finny looked so cute while sitting at the beginning of the video.
What scared Finnegan? People under comments say that they saw some animal chasing those deers (or Finnegan felt something lurking around the deers), but I didn't saw anything. Maybe you will spot this mysterious animal, because I rewatched this short, and didn't saw anything.

I saw this thread and thought it was a game streamer with a Word Salad Title. I'm actually kinda pleased it's Exactly What It Says on the Tin.

Do you guys know what happened to Dakota? Because as you saw in my recently uploaded video his enclosure is now inhabited by Anubis parents.

Probably got relocated somewhere safe, since some neighbours made threats toward them

Since this is a discussion focused on a channel that focuses on foxes, do you think it's possible to shave a fox of its winter coat? Because I personally think that foxes look cuter without their winter coats, who make them look fat.

Possible? Yes.
The right thing to do? Unless there was extreme weather patterns necessitating it's loss faster than their shedding reflex, No.
Embrace the Chonk. These are still wild animals, not dogs

It's possible, but it'd be a really bad thing to do? Like, foxes grow winter coats because they need them and then looking really round because of it shouldn't be a reason to want to change that because like...they're foxes. If they're not unhealthy, who cares if they look fat due to a natural process they go through every year. Forcing aesthetic concerns onto animals that did nothing wrong is a really amazing way to cause harm.
Especially since they're not actually fat when that happens.
IMO, this is sort of like wanting to come up with ways to stop squirrels from hoarding food for the winter, because they get really fat too in the process, because they eat much less for months. It's taking a human hang-up and projecting it onto animals where either it's necessary for them, or it's not actually the same thing.
If it helps, think of the foxes as wearing big puffy winter coats. If you saw a human doing that, you wouldn't jump to "that person must be fat", right?

In a lot of cases, shaving off the winter coat instead of letting it fall off naturally can also permanently mess up how their fur grows in every season, which can drastically shorten their lifespans because it removes protection from the elements. A similar reason is why you should never shave a Husky or similar thick-coated winter dog.
