I have never heard of the program, but having seen it, I have questions...

Why foxes and not wolves?
How bad are the aggressive versions?
Can study of that gene in dogs determine the ones that may be too aggressive?
Who gets to keep all the friendly foxes?

I'm pretty sure an article I read about it a long time ago made it clear that it was part of a fur farm

Foxes are smaller, eat less, and are less lethal when they get ornery. There's also a better market for their pelts.
