WOLF HYBRID BILL OF RIGHTS |
I am a Wolf Hybrid Whether I am 98% or 2% wolf, I am still a Wolf Hybrid. I am not a dog and I do not act like a dog, I act like a Wolf. I am an Intelligent, Loving, Independent-Minded creature and as such have certain rights. The following are ten of those rights.1. I have the right to the permanent companionship of other Wolf Hybrids or dogs. I do not wish to be separated from my own kind any more than any other creature wishes to be so separated.2. I have the right to human companionship on a daily basis. If you do not want to spend time with me, then you shouldn't own me. 3. I have the right to feel safe and protected. I have the right to be protected from humans and animals alike. This protection should be in the form of an enclosed pen or yard. 4. I have the right to try to escape from my pen/yard BUT I have the right to be kept from escaping by my owner's daily monitoring of my "great escape" activities. I have the right to expect my owners to perform the necessary maintenance to my pen/yard to offset my attempts at escaping. 5. I have the right to the proper amount and kind of food plus fresh water. I also have the right to a clean and safe pen/yard. 6. I have the right to daily exercise and play time with both the animal and human members of my pack. 7. I have the right to regular and proper medical attention. I also have the right to be treated by a vet who likes, respects and is knowledgeable about Wolf Hybrids. I, furthermore; have the right to have a vet who I feel comfortable and safe with. 8. I have the right to be treated with respect and dignity even when I am doing something "wolfish". In other words, I have the right to have my kind of fun. Such as chewing, digging, stealing, howling ect...After all I am just being me. Isn't that why you bought a Wolf Hybrid? I do not mind being reprimanded but, if you yell and scream and/or beat me I may start to fear and distrust you. I may also start behaving in an even more unacceptable manner. 9. I have the right to adequate shelter and protection in all kinds of weather. I know that as a Wolf Hybrid, I am pretty tough, but I need some way to keep dry when it rains, to keep warm when it is cold, and to keep cool when it is hot. 10. Most importantly, I have the right to be loved and cherished for the intelligent, loving, independent- minded creature that I am. Published in The Wolf Hybrid Times - October 1989 |
