Whereas exotic animals and their hybrids are not domesticated and suffer physically and psychologically when bred, kept, displayed and sold in captivity, and may pose public health and safety risks to other animals and people; And whereas the keeping of most wild animals as pets in BC is illegal under the Wildlife Act, and hybrid animals, including the breeding of Canis familiaris domestic dog and Canis lupus wolf hybrid wolfdogs are not protected by this legislation or the provincial Controlled Alien Species Regulation: Therefore be it resolved that UBCM ask the Province of British Columbia to immediately amend either the Controlled Alien Species Regulation or the Wildlife Act to prohibit the breeding and keeping of all mixed Canis familiaris domestic dog and Canis lupus wolf hybrid wolfdogs, including F1-3 generations.
