First I think you need to learn what domesticated means.
You most certainly can tame wolves and foxes. Wolves in particular are pack animals. This alone makes taming them possible. All it requires is incorporating them into the same "pack" as you, and establishing yourself as the alpha wolf. People do CURRENTLY have pet wolves. So your whole question about why they aren't pets doesn't even make sense. They ARE pets.
And you still haven't answered my question. Is this going to be a repeat of every other discussion that I have with you, where all you do is call me stupid, and then refuse to answer any questions that I ask you?

You never get it do you? I have yet to have any discussion with you where you understand what is being discussed. You make up your own conversation every time. Taming requires work.....you do know many breeds of dogs are descended from wolves....therefore, with work and breeding they can be domesticated. They can't however, be rounded up from the wild and put in your living room to play with your children. Period.
I don't answer vague questions that have nothing to do with the discussion at hand. You constantly try to change a discussion to suit you. I stick to the topic.....and I've never called anyone stupid on here. So don't try that crap either. You want to discuss certain animals....be specific.
It's obvious you don't understand the history of pets.
You do the same thing all the time. You categorically declare a question irrelevant just because you can't think of an answer that doesn't support your argument.
You're saying that he shouldn't get a skunk because nondomesticated animals should not be pets. I'm asking you what inherently makes undomesticated animals unsuitable as pets. That's damn sure relevant to the discussion. And just because you say it's not relevant doesn't make that the case.
Secondly, NO ANIMAL, including dogs and cats, starts out tame. ALL animals need work in order to become tame. That's why DOMESTIC dogs and cats revert to a feral state when placed in a wild environment. And people DO have pet wolves, those wolves being identical to the wild form. Yes, it takes work to domesticate wolves, just like it takes work to domesticate any other animal. If you think that's reason enough to not get the animal, then you ought to be against owning ANY pets.
But this thread is not about wolves, it is about skunks.
Doesn't matter..........you've just proven me correct and yourself....incorrect. Now that we both agree I was right....it ends.
