Target: Tom Vilsack, U.S. Secretary of Agriculture
Goal: Restrict breeding of wolfdogs prone to illness, abandonment, and euthanasia.
An abandoned Rhode Island wolfdog’s quest for a new home reignited the debate about ownership and care for these animals, who are typically hybrids of wolves and domesticated dogs. Several states ban having a wolfdog as a pet or put restrictions on the practice. Reasons cited include the presumed aggressive nature of these animals and the special enhanced care they require. But these regulations do not truly get at the heart of the problem: the intentional breeding of these beautiful animals for profit.
Mating between wolves and dogs in the wild is uncommon, so most wolfdog breeds were created by human design. Some were bred for work purposes, while others were bred just for the aesthetic. The result: inexperienced would-be owners are attracted by the exotic and wild look of these animals and purchase them. But once they realize the intensive care (special diets and exercise routines) and space wolfdogs require, as well as possible difficulties in training them, the pet parents abandon or even euthanize their new pets. This tragic fate befalls thousands of wolfdogs every year. Further, evidence suggests that the breeding process may leave wolfdogs vulnerable to certain health conditions affecting key areas like the thyroid and the heart.
Sign the petition below to urge enhanced safeguards against exploitative wolfdog breeding that is putting countless animals at risk from the day they are born.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear Secretary Vilsack,
Targeted animal cross-breeding conducted by humans has become an increasingly dangerous game of who can create the most exotic creature. While breeders reap the profits, the animals ultimately pay the price. The wolfdog controversy is the strongest evidence of this unfortunate result.
These animals have been born with health ailments because of their chromosomal abnormalities, abandoned due to their high energy and high-care needs, and even euthanized because the human beings who created them ultimately cannot handle them. They are yet another humanity vanity project discarded when reality crashes into expectation. They deserve better.
The patchwork of ownership regulations and restrictions that constitutes American law is not enough. We ask that you, as the leader of the agency tasked with the welfare of animals, give these dogs needed protections and the safeguards against irresponsible breeding.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]

The result of such breeding results in death. The animal is always more wolf (wild) than the domestic dog. They can’t be trusted to behave like a pet. This is not my opinion it is science based. Just look at all the wolf/dogs that are put down or at Wolf rescues, like Wolf Haven. This should be outlawed and any breeders should be fined and then jailed. And of course, never be allowed to own animals again.
PEOPLE WHO DO THIS ARE FUCKED UP!!!
Please educate yourself, one bad apple should not set presitence. I’m the CEO of Guardians Of The Wolves. We have lost one to euthanization ever. There is no such thing as a big bad wolf

All Life Matters
WJY do humans have to fuck with EVERYTHIG, when doing so NEVER results in anything but suffering and NEEDLESS ADDITIONAL PROBLEMS FOR ALL OF US?????
Just another example of the idiocy of humanity, the stupidity and ARROGANCE to think they can improve dogs OR wolves??? I’m ashamed to be a member of the “human”species!!
This is so true.
Yet ANOTHER example of incredibly ARROGANT and idiotic humans who dare interfere with the natural world! The 6th Extinction is long overdue !!
SHAMEFUL BEYOND WORDS AND ABSOLUTELY CRIMINAL NOT TO MENTION PURE EVIL AND GREED AND “MUST” BE STOPPED “IMMEDIATELY”!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just leave the animals alone in their own environment – every time humans get involved everything is a total cluster f*ck!! We are not here to play God. These are wolves not dogs!!!!
It’s been known for years that wolfdogs to not make good pets. Wolves are predominant over dogs and their wildness does not just go away! Why would anyone want to bring wolfdogs into the world just to have them euthanized when they don’t work out. Greedy people that’s who!
This is exactly the reason why I love dogs and despise most people. After God made dogs, in my opinion, he should have forgot about making people. Man is the most sorry species that live on this earth. They maim and torture and kill for their own pleasure. The sorry bastards that buy these half wolf dogs and then later have them euthanized or just drop them off in the country to fend for themselves should be tried for murder and euthanized themselves. They are gutless, they are heartless and they are just all around sorry mother-fuckers that I would like to see exterminated from this earth.
Greedy breeders should be put out of business, these wolf dogs are a danger to society and are very hard to raise among people. Most states ban this cross of animals and people need to think about the consequences they will face managing a wolf dog. Once that cute puppy becomes an adult most are euthanized because they cannot be managed by that dumb human who never their Homework before getting one.
STOP ALL TYPES OF ANIMAL ABUSE AND ANIMAL CRUELTY TOWARDS ALL ANIMALS ALL OVER THE UNITED STATE IF AMERICA AND ALL OVER THE WORLD TOO IMMEDIATWLY!!!!!
This is totally unacceptable. What do you think you are going? Enough of this breeder nonsense. Can we not accept that this is not a practice that should be even thought of? I am sick to think of all the things that you should be doing, it is NOT breeding wolf dogs and if this doesn’t work you euthanize them.
Enough is enough.

der mensch weiss immer alles besser als die natur – wegen dem GELD.
der mensch ist ein verfluchtes monster und muss alles zerstören.
Ich schäme mich, ein Mensch zu sein.
man always knows everything better than nature – because of the MONEY.
man is a cursed monster and must destroy everything.
I am ashamed to be human.
Keep your filthy hands off our precious wildlife. You have no right to destroy them. I hope you all are charged with animal cruelty and thrown in jail and let the inmates put you out of your evil hateful misery.
End this now
This ENVIRONMENTAL CRIME MUST END.
NO more WOLFDOG VICTIMS!!!
SHUT-DOWN this GREEDY HELL!
Why do people always want to make money off of animals? So disgusting!!!
For the life of me, I can’t understand why the human ‘need’ to interact with nature, and why is that permitted by law? Correction, human greed. That’s way, but why it is permitted by law?
It drives me mad.
Live the nature alone.
