Mr. Liu of Nanjing found an arctic fox in the grass and sent it to the police station. Can arctic foxes be kept as pets?
Mr. Liu, a citizen of Nanjing, picked up the Arctic fox on the roadside, and the police have helped the Arctic fox find a new home. In China, Arctic foxes can be kept as pets, but it is illegal for individuals to raise Arctic foxes to apply for a breeding license at the Forestry Bureau. In addition, farmers who hold relevant certificates and operate within the permitted scope can also raise Arctic foxes. However, because the Arctic fox is a wild animal, it is three kinds of animals, which have high requirements on the environment and climate, are easy to be infected with zoonotic diseases, and have great feeding risks. It is not recommended for individuals to raise the Arctic fox.

Mr. Liu is from Nanjing. When he passed a local green belt, he saw an Arctic fox with neat fur in the grass. This arctic fox is very clever and didn't scare away when he saw Mr. Liu. Mr. Liu immediately took the Arctic fox to the nearby police station, and the police station finally sent the Arctic fox to Nanjing Underwater World. Judging from common sense, it is impossible for the Arctic fox to survive in the wild in Nanjing, and it is very likely that it is artificially raised. Because breeding needs a certificate, and then Nanjing did not apply for this certificate, so I can't find the owner.

In China, wild arctic foxes belong to three kinds of animals and are protected by law. Without permission, individuals are not allowed to keep Arctic foxes as pets. If individuals want to raise Arctic foxes, they must go to the local forestry department for a breeding license. In addition, although the Arctic fox looks cute, it is not suitable as a pet, because it is not a unique species in China and is not suitable for the environment in China. Raising arctic foxes requires a very strict environment, and then there are some bacteria on arctic foxes, which are easily transmitted to humans. Moreover, pet shops can't vaccinate arctic foxes like cats and dogs now, so raising arctic foxes is risky for animals themselves and breeders. Individuals are advised not to keep arctic foxes, but to like them.

Although the arctic fox is beautiful and cute, it is not recommended to keep it as a pet. On the one hand, it is difficult to deal with breeders in relevant departments. On the other hand, the arctic fox is a wild animal, which is not well cared for like cats and dogs.
