I want to purchase an African Fennec Fox. Where can I locate a breeder, how much do they cost on average. And, which is better male or female as far as health and temperment?
Answer
First things first: find out about the bylaws in your area. In some places it's illegal to keep a wild animal as a pet.
Never mind what the websites say. They are very difficult to keep as pets. They spray, they tear up the house, nip hard, and unlike domestic dogs, don't adapt well to crate or kennel training. They do NOT generally get along with other pets you might have in the house.
If you are interested in exotics, first volunteer or try to get a paying job in a facility that handles them, such as a zoo or wildlife rehabilitation facility. Once you have gained experience, you might be able to keep a wild animal as a pet, but by then you'll probably have learned enough not to.
All the best.

What is your opinion of PETA and what they do?

I've heard many opinions of them and they all have certain points. What is your opinion?
Answer
Despise them.
PETA is known to lie to push their agenda- The mass majority of the videos they show you either show the minority, or they have been outright staged and the group pushes these out as "the truth."
PETA kills far more animals than they save- Indeed there has been proof of them pulling animals out of shelters to find them "good homes" to simply euthanize them. It was said they rather see the animals dead than to have to live in a home as a "slave."
Here's a list of examples of some of the stupider things PETA wants to get rid of (see my link, these are straight from their website):
* Dog Crates- Used correctly even. Meaning I should apparently allow my dog free run of the house and chance injury rather than putting her in a secure den like location.
* Charities- Including (but not limited to) March of Dimes, the American Cancer Society, and the Muscular Dystrophy Association. PETA's reasoning on this is because scientists find it necessary to eventually test on animals.
While I am not a fan of animal testing personally I think that as far as health testing it is necessary. How many people want to be the ones to test a new drug that could potentially cure them... or kill them horribly? I don't know about you but I rather see a few rats die than a few people.
* No-Kill shelters- Yup you guessed it: PETA rather see them put down than "live their life in a cage"
* Pets- "we believe that it would have been in the animals' best interests if the institution of "pet keeping"âi.e., breeding animals to be kept and regarded as "pets"ânever existed."
Say goodbye to any animals you keep in your home if PETA got their way.
* Pitbulls- Yes I know this one will cause a big conflict but personally I blame the deed and not the breed: I consider idiotic owners the cause not the dogs.
Heck back in the day when dog fighting was the norm a Pit that would put their teeth on a human was straight out killed (Animal aggression =/= Human aggression).
* Predator-Reintroduction Programs- So we move them from one area, find out we wrecked a habitat, then I'm suppose to drown in deer because you don't want someone to bring them back? Sometimes these programs are necessary.
* Responsible breeding- I'm talking the people that show, health test, and work to bring about healthy purebred dogs not the idiots that throw 2 dogs together in an attempt to make a profit.
I suppose purebred dogs shouldn't exist at all? That I shouldn't be allowed to show, and have a pup with specific characteristic meant for a certain job? Sorry but it's impossible for me to go to a shelter and find a pup that will be good at herding, schutzhund, or a number of other tasks without specific breeding.
* Zoos- Even the ones that have breeding programs to try and keep endangered species around and take in animals that can no longer live in the wild for reason X, Y, and Z (A good example of one of these issues being some idiot trying to keep wild animals as a pet and when it comes time for the person to get rid of the animal it ca not live and function correctly in the wild).
* They support radical, illegal, and sometimes violent ways to bring attention to their cause is supported by PETA. They think that facts aren't good enough for the media.
* PETA is considered a terrorist group- Do you really want to be involved with that?
