The short answer is because a guy handed her to me.

The slightly longer answer is because I'd never met a snow fox before and she was so increadibly cute and fluffy I wanted to giver her a hug. She was docile to the point of being lethargic, and may have been drugged. Wouldn't surprise me, given the guys who owned her. They had a table at the Ice Festival and, after handing me the snow fox, surprised us by demanding money. Oh, so it goes. I gave them some RMB, but not what they asked for.

They raise them for fur, and possibly for meat, too. As the saying goes, they'll eat anything with four legs that isn't a table.
