Not seeing the contradiction there. They certainly are sold as pets, you can look up fox videos on Youtube etc. Damn expensive though, a Redditor I was talking to about it said that his fox was going to cost like $10k all told after all the fees and importation paperwork. I'd never pay that much for a cat or a dog (although it'd make a great gift for the billionaire or oligarch in your life).

Friendlier with humans, but foxes tend to be destructive with furniture. Is in its nature to recolocate things, tear apart carpets and dig lairs in the sofa.
