Fox News
A man took to Reddit to share a family drama: His wife and two teens wanted to adopt a fox after visiting an animal sanctuary. When the man noted his objections, they called him "heartless."
The man explained that his wife and two teenagers visited an animal sanctuary/rescue while he was at work and "apparently had a good time." In doing his own research, the Redditor said former fox owners reported the animals "stink." "From working at animal rescues myself, 100% of the time it's the stench. Eight surrendered foxes and every time it's, ‘We can't take the smell anymore.’" "They definitely stink — and it is not a smell you forget." "I think God gave us some animals to enjoy close-up, and others from afar." Deirdre Reilly is a senior editor in lifestyle with Fox News Digital.
The man added, "Maybe too good of a time."
