You'd probably chop 'em up
And put them in a stew!
It's like, "How much more black could this be?", and the answer is none. None more black.

I've heard...
that foxes have a personality halfway between a dog and a cat.
Cheers,

Does that mean . . .
They despise you enthusiastically (with tail wagging)?
They worship you lethargically?
Or they just don't care one way or the other?

They're awfully cute
But 45 years isnt very long for domestication. I'd worry that they'd grow up and drag the neighbor's baby off. You know, "The dingo ate my baby".

Hey - my Grandfather managed
to 'undomesticate' sheep in 30 years. He bred for size; he got more wool and more meat out of'em that way. They WERE big, too, by the end. Unfortunately, the rams became REALLY aggressive.

It is nearly always
Easier to let things goto Hell-in-a-hand-basket, than to keep'em on the straight and narrow.

Entropy...
In Thermo-Dynamics, yeah.
Or are you actually refering to Chaos encroachment?
Or Entropy as a variable that sucks order out of a pool?

I've heard of projects to domesticate fish.
And I *know* some of you will be going "Huh?" :-)
Most of our agricultural animals are domesticated breeds: they don't really have wild versions extant anymore. The domestic versions of cattle and sheep rely on man's tending to produce in the amount we want.
But we don't have any fish like that. The goal of the projects to domesticate fish is to come up with variations of fish that analogous to the common cow.

Self-gutting Rainbow Trout?
Modified seppuku: a sharpened (humaneered) fin guts the sucker mid-air as it flips self into frying pan; to internal mantra .. I cannot live with this shame.
But then.. we're all domesticated; sheep by the shepherds, troops by the priests: we're all Good Corporate Citizens Now (sung to the Lumberjack's Song :-)
