'Hybrid Wolves Are Much More Than 'Pets'' by Jeremy T. Setty
I have adopted and placed wolf hybrids in the past on several occasions; my newest addition will likely now be permanent. Sequoyah (after the inventor of the Cherokee syllabary), like each of the others, was born into disgusting conditions as a creature to be poked at.
Here in the South (and possibly nationwide) there are real problems with "puppy mills" breeding these guys for a buck and selling them to whoever has the money (common sense or knowledge of wildlife not necessary.) I love wolves and hybrids, but it saddens me deeply to see them bred in captivity as pets.
As a Native American, I feel that this is another example of an unfriendly invasion and "domestication". I hope to find others of a like mind.
To learn more about Sequoyah or the author himself, e-mail (Wolfy@grove.ufl.edu) with the word 'wolfdog' in the subject field.
