I’ll Fox Wit Ya
Oh foxy lady!…too obvious? Ya that was too obvious. Okay, okay, how about something about it being difficult to get into her foxhole? Too much? Yeah, a bit too much. Okay, let’s try pointing out that the fox is being held on her “right wing”. Huh? Right? Too political? Okay forget you guys I’m done trying.

The Fox and the Hound: The true Story

She better becareful having that fox so close to her PETA may think she is trying to wear it and come after her with paint.
December 9th, 2011
@CG: Actually, in some places such as the Florida Keys live chickens are kept as pets and are permitted to roam about the island as they please.
And holy crap! That’s a freaking FOX!
December 9th, 2011
They could let badgers and swine into wal-mart and they’d still be less disgusting and destructive than black friday shoppers.
December 9th, 2011
hope that thang ain’t rabbies… there was a rabbed bunch runnin around…. but apparently walmart has gone wild… wtf
December 9th, 2011
considering the people that they let in to walmart, letting a fox in seems pretty reasonable to me…
December 9th, 2011
Why isn’t her pet in a carrier? That’s nuts!!!! A freaking fox!
December 9th, 2011
He hunts out the good deals…. Yea, I got nothing as well.
December 9th, 2011
obviously it’s a service animal…or not
December 9th, 2011
Cute little vixen . . .
December 9th, 2011
O the humanity. This is a true sign the that tail wearing fad has gone too far, when people are caught trying to stuff live animals down their pants.
December 9th, 2011
Clearly we can tell; there’s only one fox in this picture.
December 9th, 2011
The fox looks to stiff to be real. She’s probably one of those creepy people that carries her stuffed dead pet around.
December 9th, 2011
What the Fox?!?!?
December 9th, 2011
W..T..H..??? Unbelievable!!! How she got past the Wal-Mart Greeter is beyond me…”Oh no,ma’am, it’s just my service fox??” Or Security, for that matter! I know California is a pretty laid-back place, but still !! I must admit it looks like it is well-cared for & beautiful, let’s hope she stays that way. (The fox, I mean!)
December 9th, 2011
Looks stuffed, the eyes look dead.
December 9th, 2011
Y just Y poor lilttle fox.. Hope it grows up n ends her..

Both are carrying diseases.

Oh you said “Car fax” I misheard you
December 9th, 2011
At least the one being held is a fox!
December 9th, 2011
This picture is from the movie Fox And The Hound!
December 9th, 2011
Not to worry. She just bought a used car, and this is just the CAR FOX.
December 9th, 2011
You know when comedians are so insecure that they have to go to sex jokes to get even just the “uncomfortable” laughs….well that’s a sign of lack of creativity.
Let’s stick with the genuinely funny, and lighten up on the crude. It’s a little much, lately.
December 9th, 2011
Actually, foxes make very nice pets. They are extremely intelligent – they need to be to have survived so long against such odds – and actually get along well with other animals, including cats. (Chickens, maybe not so much.)
Judging from the position of the paws and tail, I’d guess the fox is alive. I don’t know much about taxidermy, but aren’t animals usually posed so they will stand up or something? I’d have a collar and leash on the critter, at any rate.
December 9th, 2011
As for it possibly being a “service animal” I know somebody who has a service dog without needing one. There is really very little you have to do to get an animal listed as a service animal. And I am wondering if maybe it’s a rural part of Califorina and the animal wandered in on it’s own. I live in the sticks and we have had racoons in our Wal-Mart. They came in the recieving doors when a truck was being unloaded to find warmth.

“Excuse me ma’am, can you point me to the rabies vaccine isle?”

Dear PoWM commentor, you completely failed to invoke the obvious “vixen” jokes leading to your really weak sauce comment above.
December 9th, 2011
@Jean
Yes, the ‘service animal’ claim, if anyone even CLAIMS it, is taking the seriousness out of the issue and abusers like this woman are a liability to the public.
Wild animals don’t have the proper training or temperament to be in such places.
Being in a carrier, is beside the point. An animal is an ANIMAL and those who abuse the service animal law deserve to be cited, and their animals removed.
They are also being ABUSIVE to the animal by exposing them to such environments.
We’ve seen pics in POWM of all KINDS of animals, from mammals to reptiles to birds being brought into the store.
The whole service animal issue caused quite an argument online here, but when it’s all said and done, there are too many people who like to push the line, who don’t like being held accountable and like spoiled brat children, believe they should be allowed to do whatever they want TO whatever public place they want to.
It even gives people with PTSD, or bi polar disorder a bad name too. I’ve known people with those disorders and they CAN do without their pets for a few hours to shop or run errands because if they don’t train their animal to do without THEM, then the animal itself doesn’t have the necessary independence either.
Which isn’t good for the animal.
And selfish (not handicapped) human beings deserve to be restrained and show some respect for public places and other people and their property and called out on their abuses of both people AND the animals in their care.

The fox is thinking, “You said we were going to Petco, dammit.”
December 9th, 2011
“Okay, let’s try pointing out that the fox is being held on her “right wing”.”
Wait?! What?! Thats a ‘her’?
December 9th, 2011
Looks like she was coming in to buy a laptop, and got a little confused when her friend told her about firefox.
December 9th, 2011
Technically that thing is vermin.
December 9th, 2011
@ Lesley: LMAO!!!!! SMH!!! ;D
December 9th, 2011
A fox isn’t a domesticated animal and as such it’s surprising Wal-Mart would allow it in the store. If it bit a customer lawsuits would be inevitable and expensive.
December 9th, 2011
haha, she goes to my school. its a taxidermic fox.
December 9th, 2011
hahaha, omg. this girls does to my school. its a taxidermic fox. i am so happy i found this!!!
December 9th, 2011
Hey REDU, You’ve obviously put way too much thought into this!
December 9th, 2011
I guess I’m the only one who thinks the picture looks fake, and I don’t say that often about pictures, but her body looks pasted on to blend in with the background. I doubt Walmart employees would say nothing about someone walking in a store with a wild animal then again it is Walmart no surprises.
December 9th, 2011
Based on some of the Walmart “Greeters” I’ve seen, she could’ve just said it was her service dog, and they wouldn’t know the difference.
I’m pretty sure the average customer was also saying what a cute puppy she had…
just sayin’…
December 9th, 2011
This is strange for California! Usually people cannot bring any animal inside most buildings, especially where they sell food. The only exception is service animals. I’ve never seen anything quite like it!
December 9th, 2011
It’s Foxy Knoxy.
December 9th, 2011
I am reasonably sure is a so-called “soft-mount taxidermy”. It’s a real fox in the sense that that is a real fox pelt but rather than being mounted on the typical plastic forms, it is treated in such a way that it becomes a stuffed animal rather than an ornamentation.
And I say “toys” though googling soft-mount taxidermy foxes seems to indicate that people treat them like pets, much like this individual here.
December 10th, 2011
Set it on fire…then it will be a “fire fox”!!!!!! get it??!!!! lolololol!!!!111!!!!11
December 10th, 2011
OMG! That’s the psycho lady from American Idol!! :O
December 11th, 2011
It’s not a service animal, neither Federal or CA state law allow foxes to be service animals. Walmart now has the stupidest service animal policy due them being idiots and getting sued by the Dept. of Justice for denying real service dog handlers.
Jean, people who say they have a “certification” for their fox, raccoon, pet dog, or iguana are lying as there is no federally recognized certification in this country. They bought a fake certificate from a scam artist and are in violation of several laws.
I’m thankful every day that Walmart has not invaded my county yet.

Fox Lady says ”meet my daughter , Rabies Baby ”.
December 12th, 2011
I actually know this person, I attend university with her. The fox is in fact a taxidermy fox. She always carries it in such a manner as to appear real.
December 12th, 2011
I honest to god just saw a man with a live, screeching parrot on his shoulder at my local wal-mart. I wish I had my camera.
December 12th, 2011
How about Star Fox?or or Roxy Foxxy hehe.
December 13th, 2011
Why would anyone carry around a stuffed fox?
Methinks this poor girl has some issues…

You want to dictate what is posted here? Im guessing you haven’t had any sex for fifty years and don’t even want to be reminded about it

@OlGriz
It’s not about way too much thought, it’s about being thoughtful. Someone brought their pommeranian into Macy’s and it crapped on their new carpet. And the owner didn’t even have the stones to pick it up herself.
And if the young woman in this picture is carrying a dead fox around like a pet…
It might not crap on the floor, but that’s why we’re here folks, the world is full of the stupid and the weird and they even pose for pictures.
December 14th, 2011
If I had a fox for a pet, I’d take it everywhere too. That shit is awesome!
December 15th, 2011
The girl goes to my school, and the thing is dead and stuffed, but she makes it move like its alive, and she goes everywhere with it, and she pets it in class while she takes notes… all i can say is please get some real friends soon.
December 15th, 2011
It’s a “soft mount,” a new fad in taxidermy. It’s basically just a mix between a traditional mount and a pillow. People treat them like they’re their pets or something. It’s a little freaky. I mean, I love my taxidermy specimens but I wouldn’t take them to Walmart with me.
As a taxidermist, I honestly find this pretty ridiculous.
December 15th, 2011
Uh ya, this is in Chico, Ca. I know her… And it’s a dead fox. That she takes with her. Everywhere.
December 21st, 2011
aww thats so cute faxes r actully becomeing endangered people love ther fur & farmers love 2shoot them glad 2c her doing her part & yes small detained animals & held animals r alllowed in most W*M’s she shoulda left it in the car 1st time it bite the give it thre needle dont want that happenin.
December 30th, 2011
It’s taxidermy look at its ears and face
January 10th, 2012
@RIC: Foxes are not vermin. They’re Canids, like dogs and wolves.
@RICHARD: Foxes can and have been domesticated. In fact, there was a major study in Siberia which ended relatively recently which resulted in quite a sizable number of successfully ‘domesticated’ foxes. They even observed the appearance of piebald pelt colorations in some of the domesticated individuals.
And yeah, the idea of soft-mount taxidermy seems pointless, and people carrying them around is creepy. Get a chihuahua or something, at least it’ll respond.
January 21st, 2012
I honestly don’t know who posted this on here. But what business is it to any of you to post such slander? I’m honestly offended by some of the comments on here, thus I’m going to post this detailed description so people can stop jumping to stupid conclusions….. And to the person who posted this, what kind of messed up miserable humor do you have?
This fox is a taxidermy fox. He was a specimen that was taken by population control (sort of like an animal control) for becoming a hazard in a city suburb in Pennsylvannia. From which I recieved him and sent him off to a friend to be perserved, considering she needed money for a number of car problems, etc.
He is used for multiple purposes; as a reference for art and photography, animal sciences, introduction to biology for children, as well as a spiritual companion to myself. He is not a toy.
What if you’re cell phone or the hat you wear, use, cling to, and don’t wish to lose, was considered strange and scrutinized by everyone around you? There are certain things that you consider as part of your comfort zone, so leave mine alone.
Currently he’s the only thing that keeps me on the positive side these days with everything that’s happened with me over the past year and a half, from losing my home to foreclosure, to having a grandmother suffering from cancer, and a sister with an uncurable disease. Coming home on the holiday to find that your dog you’d had for 13 years was given away because you were at school and the rest of your family was too sick to take care of it? I bet half of you would be smoking something or abusing some other substance if you had to put up with that kind of shit. So leave the only thing I have left alone…… please….. I have too much to deal with as it is…………….
February 8th, 2012
HAHAHA she goes to my school!!! That “live” fox is actually taxidermy, and she controls it to be “real”.
March 1st, 2012
I actually have a plush fox like that myself. They are pretty badass. Like the best thing to cuddle with at night. lol
I would never take mine out with me because it would attract too much unwanted attention, but trust me, owning one isn’t as weird as you think. It is like owning a pet, only without having to pay vet bills, risk getting kicked out of your apartment, no pee puddles on the floor, no food or supply costs, doesn’t disturb the neighbors, etc. But you can still pet and cuddle it. Plus they look realistic.
Pretty much all the pros of pet ownership without the cons. lol Yea they don’t respond but when I’m in the middle of finals week and don’t have time to sleep let alone take care of animals, I don’t have to worry about walking fluffy or neglecting my pet. It is just taxidermy.

I want my photo removed from this site.
June 10th, 2012
That’s it…I’m bringing my opossum mount to Walmart now. Our city denied Walmart moving in there anyways twice before, and many people were pretty pissed that it made its way into our mall now, so why not? Owner of the fox plush, you are awesome! Heck, I have a small arsenal of dead things I’m bringing into Walmart now. I’d be honored to be on People of Walmart for it.
July 24th, 2012
What I find funny is all the people who think this fox is alive. It’s taxidermy; I know that for a fact, and even if I didn’t, it’s pretty obvious. It’s not badly done at all but a live fox and a taxidermy fox are easy to tell apart.
July 24th, 2012
I actually know this girl, and the fox is a taxidermy. It’s dead, people. Really. She just walks EVERYWHERE with the thing. Freaked me out when I saw her for the first time on my college campus.
