As I was saying, wolves and dogs both need love. If a wolf is <i>not</i> a dog, then are scientists wrong about dogs descending from wolves?
She is afraid that I am going to kick her out, so she tries to act strong by attacking. Living in a home is not good for her.<br /> <br /> I am planning on putting her down in January or February because her hips hurt her and she lives in constant fear and stress. It is not good for wolves.<br /> <br /> I am sorry about your state not allowing wolves to be owned because some can be great pets, but it is for the best. For them and for you.<br /> <br /> As for volunteering, you should do it. I have been volunteering at my rescue for 5 years now and I am in high school. I play 2 sports, I work, and still have time to volunteer. So there really is no excuse. If I can do it, so can you. it really pays off.<br /> <br /> <br />
Jingle, roo is right a wolf is NOT a dog. Believe me, I would know. I own a 94% wolf hybrid. She is fearful of humans and does not trust easily. It took me a year and a hlaf just to get her to trust me, and she will attack if you push her too hard. She has bitten me 4 times. They are not domesticated and should not be owned.<br /> <br /> They think differently and have different instincts. A wolf is not supposed to be owned by humans because they are feral animals, they have had no contact with humans and do not know how to be handled by them. <br /> <br /> They don't need human companionship or love, they need their pack. A wolf back is tremendously different from a human pack. Human packs are more accepting and loving about faults than a wolf pack. This causes wolves to be fearful in homes. My wolf's hip joints pop out of place when she runs and jumps. This is considered a weakness in the wolf world, and she knows it. She knows that if she was in a wolf pack, she would be killed or left to starve. This is why she lives in fear all the time. <br />
It's really for the best...
>.< Still hating every single law about wolves not being able to be owned in Georgia
A wolf does not need love. I'm sorry. They are not meant to form bonds with people. They may receive a degree of "love" from pack members and their natural social structure. But you are not a part of that, and you never will be. Wolves do not love you like dogs do. They may tolerate your presence, but they don't love you.
This isn't about you. That's what's concerning me. You keep bringing it back to what's right for you. Ultimately, it's your responsibility to consider what's right for the animal. <br /> <br /> It's the same reason people used to buy lions and tiger cubs on impulse then have to surrender them to rescues. It's always <i>me</i>, and what <i>I</i> want. That's why they have these laws, people don't consider that the animal has needs and it's not going to be the beautiful, majestic, loving creature you always imagined. <br /> <br /> You say <i>treat others the way you want to be treated</i> if everything within you wanted to be running free with a pack out in the wilderness, would you want someone keeping you locked up in a house? A lot of property isn't going to cut it. These animals need space. <br /> <br /> If you really don't understand how dangerous these, and really any wild animal can be, I'm very comfortable with the fact that you're not old enough yet to make the decision to get a wolf. They aren't dogs. They really, really aren't.
So? A person is a person. It needs love, food, water and a companian. So does a wolf and so does a dog. They are all the same. A chihuahua might not look like a wolf from a first glance. They both have 4 sharp teeth called canines. They both can howl, bark, communicate the same way. They can both dominate another and make a pack. My point, they are <i>all</i> equal no matter shape nor size nor crippled, deaf, mute, dumb, blind. No matter <i>what</i> , dog will be dogs. A wolf can be like a person. They have attitudes and the elders are usually the alphas or dominated. Just because they have 4 legs doesn't mean a wolf can't have a human companian. Does it? I wouldn't like it if I was forbidden to be with my friend unless I had a permit and was expierenced and neather would you.
A wolf is not a dog.
I really don't know. I would think I'd have to give up being a volunteer for my job as becoming an author or the other way around. I don't understand why Georgia doesn't allow wolves to be owned. It's unfair. A dog is a dog so treat it that way. A wolf is not like a terrorist. It won't bomb your house. It's not fair. Don't they know the saying, " <i>Treat others the way you want to be treated</i> " ?
