what is it doing in a cage? it should be on a soft bed chewing on a milk bone!

the wolf is in the cage most likely for the safety of the children, since at this event, the children were of ages of 5 and up. and also, the event took place inside a college library event room.

since when are wolves who live with people a threat?

They are when people cross boundaries with them, because the people do not speak their language. or, the wolf can be in a bad mood, because of undiagnosed cancer, etc.

The poor thing has gone threw many things,shame it will spend it's time in a cage.

I hear you. But the alternatives are, releasing it into the wild where it will promptly starve to death because it has no hunting skills, or release it from where it is at now, where it will get hit by a car after eating someone's dog.

or convert it into a house Pet, that was no hunting skills will be needed.

Right, but then it has to live in a cage some of the time, because a wolf often will tear your house up. They are not trainable like dogs.

if your scared to train a wolf then yes but if you are not afraid then it is possible. all you need to do is change the nature of the wolf making it lazy by feeding it alot and giving it plenty of milk bones to chew on and if possible keep it in your bed where it will make it self home and will be very lazy making it easy to have a dog or wolf but at health cost. What i am saying is keep your wolf at home and spoil your wolf and you will find that your wolf will be some what of a human couch potato, going out side for too long could be a problem since the wolf could pick up a sexy smell from a female then all of your work will be for noting so if possible keep your wolf at home and away from the out side world and you can have a pet wolf that will be very easy to take care of.

Are you serious? Where does your knowledge and experience in such things come from? Are you a wolf handler like me? Do you have experience training them, or trying to train them?

You don't know the first thing about it, I can tell you right now. Your knowledge comes from watching Youtube videos and assumptions.

We get wolves in all the time when people like you buy one, thinking you can train it and turn it into a big sweetheart, then freak the hell out when it eats your cat, your dog, destroys your car's interior, your couch, your bed, chews threw electrical cords, and finally tries to kill you for barbecue.

YES THIS HAS HAPPENED BEFORE. Different wolves did EVERY ONE OF THOSE THINGS.

Please stop spreading ignorant, dangerous misinformation.

Wolfs and dogs are pretty much the same all you need to do is change the life style and be patient. also it all depends on how you treat your wolf or dog and how much attention you give it.

Wolves and dogs are NOT THE SAME. It's that kind of thinking that gets people hurt, and worse. And then, people get to read about it in the newspaper and think that wolves are evil creatures, when some ignoramus with no knowledge of them whatsoever buys one and lets it live in his house.

Wolfy, why did you kill the cat? (My German Shepherd never did this!)
Wolfy, why did you kill the dog? (My Labrador never did this!)
Wolfy, why did you destroy bit screen tv? (My Labradoodle never did this!)
Wolfy, why are you growling at me? (My Schnauser never did this!)
Wolfy, why are you tearing my throat out? (My Chihuahuah never did that!)

Wolves have a distinctly different language and ENTIRELY different demeanor than *any* dog, domesticated or not. Wolves are extremely intelligent apex predators. Achieving equilibrium with one is impossible without an intimate understanding of their ways- which takes YEARS to begin to understand- irregardless of your ability to work with domesticated canines. Years of living with them, working with them, getting bit by them. Do you have this experience? Then how are you telling us wolves are like dogs? That kind of thinking gets people killed.

wolfs would only kill if you show fear.

Oh and every dog or wolf has it's own personality so it's really all about luck.

Your comments are some of the most hilarious I've ever read. I sure hope you don't get any type of animal...

I have been working with dogs for 5 years now so i am always around dogs.

I think it was just a precaution, they didn't want to take any chances of potentially injuring the children.
