This debate could be very important to the animals. If the red wolf is proved to be a hybrid or subspecies the government could take away its protection to save money (especially now). There wouldn't be as big of a priority to save red wolves because there are plenty of gray wolves in the Northern states. Many of these "is it a species or not debates" are petty and meaningless but this affects the wolves directly.

True enough, and it IS important. But the animals themselves don't care; whether they are species, hybrids, or intergrades never crosses their minds. They just do whatever they have to do, to survive and procreate. It shouldn't come down to splitting hairs, taxonomically, anyhow. Whether they are a hybrid swam - which will eventually speciate - or a species, they bare here, they are unique, and they should be protected.

I agree because as of yet we have not heard from any wolves on the subject.

LOL I must have been half asleep when I posted this.

*Hybrid SWARM, not hybrid swam

*They ARE here, not they bare here
