Documentation stating that wolves/hybrids are illegal in Ontario

Regarding the keeping/breeding and selling of wolves and/or hybrids thereof, I actually called the Gov't of Ontario, 1-800-667-1940 line and asked where it is documented that this is illegal. The staff member verbally stated that it definitely IS ILLEGAL to do any of the above with wolf/hybrids. She directed me to the following site:

http://www.e-laws.gov.on.ca/DBLaws/S...f41_e.htm#BK46

and under section 3, "wildlife" (this is how wolves would be classified generally, so laws here pertain to them), there are 2 subsections that pertain to a) the propagation of wildlife and b) the selling of live wildlife. BOTH ARE PROHIBITED BY LAW.

From the above website:

Propagation of wildlife
45. (1) A person shall not propagate or offer to propagate game wildlife or specially protected wildlife, or possess it for the purpose of propagation, except under the authority of a licence and in accordance with the regulations.

Buying or selling wildlife and pelts
48. (1) A person shall not buy or sell game wildlife or specially protected wildlife, including pelts, except under the authority of a licence and in accordance with the regulations.

49. A person shall not sell any animal or invertebrate that the person represents as a species of game wildlife or specially protected wildlife unless the person is authorized to sell that species of wildlife. 1997, c. 41, s. 49.

So there you have it in black and white
