The General Assembly finds that:

  1. Wolves and wolf-dog hybrids are now present in this state but remain unregulated;
  2. The Compendium of Animal Rabies Prevention and Control advises that no vaccination has been approved for use in wolves or wolf-dog hybrids;
  3. However, wolves and dogs are scientifically classified as the same species;
  4. Off- and extra-label use of vaccines approved for use in dogs are widely used to vaccinate wolves and wolf-dog hybrids, even by the United States Government, to prevent diseases such as rabies;
  5. Failure to vaccinate wolves and wolf-dog hybrids raises the possibility of creating a large pool of animals that could serve as reservoirs for rabies; and
  6. Due to the neglect and irresponsibility of their owners, some wolves and wolf-dog hybrids could pose a threat to public safety in this state.
