wolves - your opinon?

[The Furry Fandom]

I'm going to go ahead and apologize for bring on the abuse argument. Starting anything have to do with another person's private life wasn't my intention. I only wanted to know how far they'd go in their response to saving an animal over a human.
Plus it led to posts not related to the wolf topic.

I do have a question that would relate to the thread. I think...

What are your opinions on wolf-dog hybrids and keeping them as pets? That is an animal who's one parent was pure wild wolf, and another was a dog usually of a much larger breed. Personally I find it wrong because the animal still has it's wild wolf instincts and can harm you if it turns. Plus you can't exactly release it into the wild either as it is half dog and was raised as a pet. A lot of places find it illegal as well to own a hybrid. Though I'm against having most exotic animals as pets that aren't 100% bred for the purpose and even then I'm still iffy.
My uncle wants a pet Serval and he won't listen to reason no matter how much I tell him it is an awful idea. My partner wants a few pet foxes too, ehhhhhh.

About as dangerous as the dog/dingo hybrids they are very very dangerous and are prone to actually attacking not only people but other animals as well they cause alot more trouble than most animals and should not even be kept as pets it's one thing to have it happen by accident like with the dingo/dog hybrids it's another to purposefully breed a hybrid between a wolf and a dog. Dingo/dog hybrids are the same way and as such niether of these species be it wolf/dog hybrid or dingo/dog hybrid should even be kept as pets as pets. They are not safe nor are they like dogs at all most are like wolves and almost all are dangerous. There is literally no exception to the hybridization of wolf and dog it is a bad idea to have them in captivity and a bad idea to purposefully breed these hybrids and keep them and expect them to act just like dogs. They are not and cannot/should not be kept as pets.

I'm aginst large and medium exoctics but not reptiles and fish or "showcase" animals.
No I don't think you should own any of those.

I think is actually really bad because they are taking away their freedom and each day they are more and more abandonned dogs so if they keep getting more domestic dogs they'll increase the number of strayed dogs, I also think it might be a bit dangerous because thoses breeds are really close to wolves/foxez so they might attack humans just by following their instinct and that could also lead to more sacrified dogs

I hate the majority of exotic pets, those like big cats, or wild canines, or hybrids. They do not belong in a household setting and are often abused, which is why a lot of sanctuaries are full of rescued exotics, which is quite sad. Hybrids are also a big problem, especially between a wild and a domesticated animal. These animals often seem confused on how to act, as they've got both traits of wild animals and domesticated animals. I've seen many bad cases.

I'm not sure where I stand on exotics like reptiles, or fish. I really think it depends on the animal, and if people can provide properly for it. I own two mourning geckos and a leopard geckos, who are generally, also ''exotic''. As for fish, also depends. I'm against keeping sharks in captive settings, at least, the majority, because they do so bad. It all depends on the animal here, and their setting. However, I'm against wild-catching them, for sure.

Yeah its not best to keep exotic animals or hybrids unless they're kept in a tank/terrarium made for their habitat. ;v;

There is a overflow of dogs and cats. Only thing is if someone want a certian breed or legal animal I don't think that should stop them. Even if you could only adopt dogs from shelters not everyone wants a pet dog or a pet at all. Anyway yeah it could be very dangerous
Oh I'm not aginst exotics like suger gliders or hedgehogs.

it's the aggresion in the hybrids that worries me howling and the purposeful breeding of the hybrids intentionally to create them when they are proven to be dangerous to both other people and other dogs and they are not even like dogs contrary to what people believe. Their inherent instincts make them more like wolves and as such they can and will go after small animals other dogs. They are unpredictable as most hybrids of wolf and dog are and they could react passively friendly or they could rip someone's face off if they get loose.

I meant he wants a Serval, typoed "wasn't" by accident lol.

Yeah I agree with you all there. As much as I love hyenas and owls I'd never for once think of legitimately owning one as a "pet". Dogs and cats have bred breed down for thousands of years. That is so much more different than a "pet" fox that has only been bred for a few decades to be a pet, or a wolf hybrid that is half wolf. My uncle (same who wants a Serval) had a guy friend at his old work who had 3 wolf / mastiff hybrids he bought from a "breeder". He said they looked like a wolf on steroids and howled something awful. The man even let those things around his little kids. His logic was that since they were part dog they'd know not to hurt anyone.

Yeah. Ok. This was a big reason for me being against exotic owners of large, wild and or feral animals. Owning an exotic canine or cat is different from a fish or bird. I'd love an African Grey Parrot, but good god why keep a wolf as a pet. They aren't meant to be locked up as pets, they cannot function that way.
And even if you want an exotic like a bird or hedgehog, please make sure you KNOW what you ARE DOING.

Pretty much. You should always know what you are getting into.
My neighbor had some wolf mixes when i was little I remember. They were the biggest darn dogs!
We were never let in there backyard if the dogs are out.
He doesn't have them anymore lol only two domestic rescue cats.
