what they see on the big screen,especially animals,is as cute as a real version of the energetic monkey,wise duck or naughty mouse they saw in movies.
Such is again the case of Zootopia,the latest blockbuster(大片)of Disney which casts Finnick,a fennec fox.Despite being a con artist(行骗老手),the fox is seen by moviegoers as a loveable character.
“After watching Zootopia,my daughter became crazy about fennec foxes and wants one for a pet,”said Mr.Brown,a movie lover.
Pet traders are reported to sell the fennec foxes on some shopping sites,with prices ranging from 25,000 yuan to 40,000 yuan each.They claim the foxes are easy to keep and can be fed insects,dog food or cat food.
However,selling and keeping the animal as pets is against the law.Fennec foxes are imported from North Africa.They are listed as a threatened species by the International Union for Conservation of Nature.In China,the fennec fox is also classified as an endangered species.They are given second—class protection in the country.The import and sale of the animal require approval from the authorities.
In addition,some animal protectionists have expressed health concern about the new pet fad(宠物时尚).David Rouse,an animal expert in California,said that most foxes found on the pet market were captured in the wild.They are very likely to carry deadly viruses.
