This especially rings true in the breed specific wolfdog ordinances, since the wolf and the dog are the same species, there are no definitive tests to distinguish wolf content in dogs or even breed type. Unless the owner has papers stating breed or cross, one can only give there subjective opinion as to breed or cross. This clearly would be in violation of the fourteenth amendment because it encourages arbitrary and erratic law enforcement. Careful analysis of breed specific ordinances concerning wolfdog hybrids and the fourteenth amendment equal protection clause, also appear to be unconstitutional because the classification of one breed as inherently more dangerous than others is arbitrary and under inclusive. While a deadly assault is tragic, it is unduly oppressive to classify wolfdog hybrids as uniquely dangerous.
Many breeds are capable of and responsible for fatal attacks on people.
Requiring wolfdog hybrid owners to take special precautions therefore appears to be violative of the equal protection clause of the fourteenth amendment. Even though there may not be any ordinances against or restrictions of wolf dog crosses, does NOT mean they won't try to take your animals. Unfortunately, animal control officers around the U.S. generally take only a short course before being given the typically low paying job. These people are not versed in the law or civil rights, heck most of them are not even trained in animal welfare. Above all, don't answer any questions unless you HAVE to and don't answer beyond the minimum.
