Wahnapitae, Wolf-Oudge hybrid in Ontaras, will not be killed, go to a nearby sanctuary
A person in Greater Sudbari, Ontaras of the community of Wahnapitae says that their wolf and dogs have got a new house.
Last month, the Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) told the Bryon Bonsagard that he could not have a pack of 16 wolf-dogs since 2021, as they are illegal in Ontario, and the authorities would return to September to seize them.
At that time, Bonsard said that he was not told what would happen to the animals after the seizure and he feared that he would be given euthanasia.
Bongard, who lives on a rural property, where he built a large fence for Wolf-Dogs, now says that MNR has agreed to leave animals and will be taken to a new sanctuary center being built near Sudbari.
“All 16 dogs are going together for the sanctuary and it is within the driving distance for Sudbari,” said Bonsard.
“They have not informed me properly where the sanctuary is yet, but it will be revealed to the later date.”
Bryton Bongard lives in rural Sudbari, Onts, with his pack of 16 Wolf-Dog hybrids. The Ministry of Ontario Natural Resources is expected to seize them next month as the owner of the hybrid is illegal in the province. Bongard says that he is ready to surrender his pets, but he is worried that they will be euthanized rather than transferred to a sanctuary.
He said that the sanctuary has signed a contract with MNR to give animals home, but the enclosures they are making are still being built. He said that until the sanctuary is ready to take the dogs, he will maintain their custody and allow them to visit the pack after transferring.
Initially, Bongard was told that Ontario had no sanctuary with the ability to take wolf and dogs and may have to be transferred across the country. He explained that MNR decided to keep him close as a way to educate the public by punishing him.
“So now they can use them as an example for other people, such as, ‘What are their behavior here, what the dogs can do here, what is going to happen here if you are caught with these animals,” Bongard explained.
He said that he has been relieved that the situation has been positively resolved despite leaving Wolf-Dog hybrid.
“(I) I am very excited, very enthusiastic,” said Bonsagard.
“Now that I know what is the plan, now that we all have sat down and have it negotiated, I feel too comfortable to help my animals go home safe with dealing with the Ministry on this matter and work together in future.”
In addition to leaving the animals, Bonsard also had a fine of $ 5,500. He said that despite everything, he does not regret it.
CBC News had earlier asked MNR about the rules around the Wolf-Dog hybrid in the province and what will happen to these animals after being confiscated.
A spokesperson wrote in a statement, “In general, it is against the law that it should keep wild animals from Ontario as pets or keep them in captivity.” “There are some exceptions, which are carefully regulated under the Fish and Wildlife Protection Act, 1997. As it is an active case, MNR is unable to comment further.”
