Foxy Lady

By foxownerapperantly - This FML is from back in 2015 but it's good stuff - Netherlands - Hoorn

Today, an old lady in public transport yelled at me and my dog, called me a liar, and threw her grape soda over me because according to her my pet Shiba Inu was actually a fox, and keeping foxes as pets is illegal. FML

People over react so bad sometimes. It is ridiculous and unnecessary, especially older people it seems. Think they can get away with anything cause they can pull the "I'm so frail and old" card if someone tries to stick up for themselves. It's a load of BS, and I'm sorry you had to deal with that

Show it anyway

In the Netherlands, where OP lives, it's perfectly legal to have your dog with you on the train or bus, as long as it's on a leash and doesn't cause any trouble.

That's when you bring her to meet your other dog, the Akita Inu. Unleashed.

no problem in the Netherlands when you have them on a leash!

Depends, but it should be illegal to buy a dog because of a meme.

Shiva inus are small like a beagle. A lot of public transports allow dogs if you can fit them in a tote bag.

13 - That's not funny either. Disliked.

just dislike if isn't funny. pointless if you point it out.

I have a fox and a dog as a pet. To my understanding it isn't illegal. I think people just don't think of them as traditional pets and automatically assume it must be wrong. Just guessing though

#16 This happened in the Netherlands and I'm pretty sure it is illegal to keep foxes as pets over here. But I'm not entirely sure.

Many ignorant. Much confused.

yoda popped into my head when I read that #29

Honestly I'd have to look it up again but last I checked it wasn't illegal anywhere. Times do change, however, so I will admit I might be wrong that it isn't illegal

Got curious and decided to look it up, as far as I can find information, it's illegal since 2014 to have a pet fox in the Netherlands.

Maybe she just had a bad experience with her internet browser.

That breed is as cunning as a fox but that is where the comparison ends. May be she was off her medication that day.

I mean I guess shiba inu look more like a fox than a wolf if you squint a bit.

Are you kidding? People always say "he looks just like a fox!" about my shiba without any prompting. It's the red coloring and triangular face.

My Shiba's nickname is fox-dog. She even has her own theme song (na na na na na fox dog!!! to the tune of the batman song). And when we go places, people always make comments about how she looks like a fox. So yeah, it's pretty normal to hear.

Wtf? Lmao I'm sorry but this was kinda funny. Unfortunately it seems she would get a pass because she's old but if she wasn't I'd slap her dumbass

I don't care how old you are. If you aggravate me, you best be ready to fight me. If your not, then shut the **** up!

what a waste of good grape soda. sorry to hear that you hot hassled OP. gotta hate it when people are unwilling to listen to reason...

That was really rude of her. Some people can just be dumb.
