Licker License

Why do laws discriminate against Wolves as pets?

Even the vet won't let me call my dog a wolf because he is prohibited from treating him. This dog is the most affectionate dog I have ever seen. I even asked the vet for a Licker License for him. So why is it they are treated as they are? Mine is an Arctic Wolf and even in the wild researchers aren’t bothered by them, they should at least allow the safer breads.
bdsmslavegirlee, ignorance will never get you a best answer, try answering questions that you are more educated and knowledgeable on the subject.

They are treated as they are because of irresponsible owners. Most people (not saying you!) have no idea of the special needs of these animals. They think they can keep them in an apartment with a postage stamp yard when they need to run miles daily and have huge acreage available. Then they wonder why the dog is mental, tearing everything up, running away and completely unmanageable.

Aggression issues are actually IME near the bottom of the problem list for most of these animals (with the exception of prey aggression which is natural behavior). More common are unmanageability, acute isolation psychosis and destructive behavior- ALL due to owner ignorance.

So many people want one of these animals, so few understand them. I think most of the legislation involved is to protect the animals, not necessarily humans. There are sanctuaries that are CHOCK full of wolves and hybrids, with many more being euthanised- they should never have been bred in the first place. It just isn't fair to allow any Joe Blow to have one, much like a tiger or other exotic. They have special needs and considerations.
