Domesticated animals generally start out already being somewhat agreeable. Like dogs hung around us, and work in a pack mentality, horses same thing, cats same thing. That’s why we could domesticate racoons or some rodents if we wanted to.

Zebras are assholes and hate everyone

cats same thing

I think cats are unique in that they domesticated themselves

  Basically yea, but it still has a bit of the same where we had what they wanted and they were agreeable enough we worked with them. If anything they domesticated us 😂

  Depends on the wolf. I know people who have both owned and rehabilitated wolves, some are just big babies… Babies that will absolutely ruin you if you piss it off 😂

Foxes didn’t have many domesticatable features, but it just took the Soviets 40 years or so to domesticate them. It really might just be nobody spent 100 years trying.

  Foxes can be agreeable creatures to begin with. Look at the amount of videos of people who have adopted foxes.
