California is notorious for restricting types of household pets. The fennec fox is native to North Africa but is no stranger to California. Licensed breeders are aloud to house the pet but have trouble selling to a open market inside California. With strict California laws if a residence is found to own a fennec fox the state kills the small cuddly creature. The International Union for Conservation of Nature has not yet listed this breed as an endangered species yet, but conservatives are becoming concerned. The legalizing of Fennec Foxes will help breeders recover the near endangered species, and make a great friend of the family.
