there are many animals that are kept as pets that are controversial, for instance, the bengal tiger... its a part of many many households in the U.S. so are Panthers, constrictor snakes, coyotes, foxes, bears, ......the list is endless.

the wolf and the dog are the same speicies. there is no such thing as a wolfhybrid. a "hybrid" is the cross between two species....... like a wolf and a coyote...
I was not saying wolfdogs and wolves were the same thing. I was just saying I don't like the idea of crossing a wolf with a dog in the first place. It's like crossing a cougar with a domesticated cat...

Yes, I am aware that there are many wild animals being kept as pets. But most of these animals being kept as pets are not properly cared for, and end up in sanctuaries...

I know the wolf and dog is the same species. But I know that sometimes wolfdog breeders call them wolf hybrids. I've seen ads for wolf hybrid puppies, and websites with people that breed "wolf hybrids". I guess those breeders are uneducated too?
