I thought they rigidly controlled everything over there.

What did they think was going on?

Assuming it isn’t found to be politically incorrect for some reason -- or none.

I wonder if people who have unspayed female dogs could take them there when in heat, thus preserving red wold genes through their puppies. Several people could do this so the puppies wouldn’t be too closely related, then use them to establish other packs in safe places.

I also approve. What’s bad about giving your kids a built in immunity to diseases?

Dogs reacting to fake tears also proves they don’t have much if any psychic abilities.

I don’t fully understand the constant obsession over finding aliens, especially technologically advanced ones. They may well exist and we should listen for them but not to the extant of ignoring other matters.

Always make hard copies.

Year after year, decade after decade, century after century they keep repeating and repressing the same actions.

Test their DNA.
