This is just what I also wanted to write.
I am not sure about USA, but in most of countries in Europe it is illegal to keep a wild creature at home.
This summer one family contacted me to ask what to do with a little sparrow, who was found out of it's nest - I contacted the ornitologist's organization, so they told that in fact they even had no right to take the sparrow home!

And people so easily take wild animals as wolves and make them their pets - this is not "love for wolves" this is "look how cool I am", nothing more.

I know this - I have similar feelings about ravens, a girl I know owns one, she found it injured. Amazingly interesting bird, very very intelectual (as much as I've read, more than even the big parrots), so I keep dreaming about also having one. But I am not afraid to admit it is an ego thing - it is interesting and fun for ME, also - haha - this looks cool, doesn't it? A lady with a "wolf" and a real raven Still this is not a reason to start looking for a raven...

Default Just a fake !

Hello and best wishes for new year 2011 to everyone here first of all !

As "Kootenay" has told here before it´s obvious that this "breeder" has not wolves but definitely dog- mixes, may be with more or less wolf-blood...

You can see on the different photos without any doubt that these animals are no pure wolves.

And at last i agree to the opinion of all the other posters here before:

It is complete nonsense trying to keep a wolf as a pet !

I´m wondering about that this is need to be told !

Best greetings ,

Uli alias Silvester from Germany

Agree 100%!!!

Lunas Mom, you've probably realized that there is a lot of controversy going on here, people argue, disagree, confront each other, have conflicting interests, etc.

But when MOST forum members, who normally have very different opinions agree on something it's very meaningful. Please, take this aspect under very careful consideration.

' Responsible' breeders of pure wolves would work to preserve the numbers in the wild, not make them for pet or even experimental private keeping.

I agree with Ina and for the life of me, can't understand who would look at that site (I've seen them before) and not just laugh.. I truly think that those people have mental problems.

Besides, even if they were the real thing, I would never condone the keeping of some critically endangered animals like the Mexican wolf as a personal pet project...

Hi,

since you called yourself an "ethologist" several times you better should donate your energy and money in projects like this

/www.defenders.org/

rather than taking even in consideration buying a wolf from people like this so called breeder.
By the way, as an ethologist you should know that you cannot breed not domesticated animals like wolves and other species.
"Breeding" is a sign of domestication.
Sorry for my open words, but I'm fed up with people like for example another "famous" user here, telling that you can keep wolves or wolf hybrids as pets.

Michael

I totally agree and I have experience with living with several adult wolves.

For me private keeping of a wolf like you plan to do it is pure egoism and abuse of an animal.
Even if you would have the money and space to keep him in an appropriate enclosure, is thinking of keeping one and thinking to be able to compensate the companionship of another wolf for him abusive and naive, even your wolfdogs can´t compensate.

Sorry for those rude words but if you have been involved in behaviour studies worth this name you should know better.


But don´t worry, you will get more than enough PMs of at least one member here..

Ina
