From Stop the California Pet Ban (Animal Rights - Change.org):

Fish and Game Commission hearings on October 1 are reviewing regulations that will enable the state and local animal regulation to seize your pets, force you to provide containment systems that most people cannot meet, and eliminate the need to prove that the animal is the regulated species.

State hearings on October 1, 2009 could eliminate due process and allow officers to seize pets if they “look” like a wild animal.

These “hybrid defense” regulations specifically authorize the officers and wardens to determine whether your pet is a regulated species without the burden of proof, and require the application of the “most protective” standard.

For our loved ones, this means that your pet can be determined to be a wild animal — such as wolf, coyote, or other — simply by visual inspection.  No scientific standards or tests are required — in fact, the regulations are written in order to “relieve the burden” of proof.   Your 99% Malamute may be subjectively determined to be 1% wolf, so full wolf rules would apply.
