Agreed it's subjective and your examples are interesting. As much as I kind of want my time back from the OP and these comments, anyone who did find the article interesting might find it interesting that they domesticated some foxes and the same sort of flattened face thing happened (but there's plenty of dispute there too):

I love the idea of a pet fox but I feel it raises serious ethical considerations..

But then I wonder if it's that different to a pet dog or cat. And it is but its hard to name why!
