We here at Wild Spirit Wolf Sanctuary firmly believe that wolves are wild animals, and should not be kept as pets.

awesome. I completely agree ... Well sort of. I wouldn't call them "wild animals" because that almost sounds like you're belittling them, but yea, they should definately not be pets.
:icondakazi:
I don't think there's anything wrong with being wild =P

Just out of curiosity, what would you refer to them as if not "wild"? I know the word can hold different connotations, but I'm not sure what I would replace it with.

i Agree in part
my boyfriend has a dingo cross (dingos are kinda wolves but not realy) and its a gorgeous dog...
so after seeing him i realy dont have a big problem with it anymore...
I dont think people should catch them or anything
and if someone wants a hybrid they should adopt one of the homeless ones that need it rather then making a bigger problem... thats just me
i havent seen wolves close... i Imagen them something like a dingo but im not shore... so feel free to correct me
(shrug) cant blame me im auzzy so i see dingos not wolves... im not trying to start something aether im just saying i think people should adopt some of these un wanted animals rather then scare them off and have a protenshaly loveing and beautiful pet
provided ofcorse the owner is up to it

Im not entirely sure what I'd replace the word with either ... I'd just say that wolves are not pets. But to me, calling them wild animals makes it sound like the person saying it says they are less than humans ... To me, it sounds like "dirty, stupid animal who lives outside." But thats just me, I know everyone else has opinions, and I respect that.
:icondakazi:
It depends largely on how much "wild blood" the hybrid has, but I do agree with you. If somebody really feels the need to own a wolf-dog and has the time, space and resources for one they should adopt an animal in need, especially since more often than not if a wolf hybrid is not rescued immediately it is destroyed :<

I personally think breeding wolf crosses should just be outlawed, but unfortunately that would be difficult to do. Irresponsible and back yard breeders should at least be shut down, if nothing else...

Yeh well i agree with that but this dingo is 50% dingo and it was becouse the male broke into the yard with a female on heat type things. and again im only guessing from what out wild dog breed is like but id say that can happen with wolves as well. hell i have seen a fox hybrid recently! so its not so easy as to punish someone for breeding one becouse some people dont believe in desexing there animals... (i dont realy mind aether way but all my animals are desexed) so it would be almost imposable to stop them from being born O.o

It's actually rather rare for a wild wolf to breed with a domestic dog, but it has been known to happen. They'll mate with coyotes as well, although that's typically even less frequent. Most hybrids are intentionally born from either wolves that were captured in the wild or (more likely) wolves and wolf dogs that have been born in captivity.
Due to the sheer number of unwanted pets out there I'm a firm believer in spaying and neutering, especially if they're kept alone outdoors, but I can understand why some people might not want to.

Also, a fox hybrid? I didn't think foxes could interbreed with dogs... Must've been quite the sight.

Sorry for rambling on so much :B Do you have any pictures of the dingo hybrid? Dingos are lovely animals, although I hear they can be a bit feisty :P
