There's a lot of hypotheticals being tossed around here that would likely never happen? What happened to trusting members to be reasonable and allowing members to nudge and/or report things they consider unfair? I know you're playing devil's advocate with those examples, but I don't think it'd even happen. If it did, as Noki said, it would be extremely obvious and easy to address.
No one is going to chuck a Wild Fauna into a pack meeting for the purpose of stealing information, for example, even if they theoretically could. It's a pack meeting. It's for the pack, specifically. I don't think it would even cross the minds of 99% of the community to do something like this, and for the 1% who would put a bird uninvited into a meeting, they'd end up being nudged, probably multiple times if they refused to remove the post after the first one. In fact, to me it's implied that pack meetings are private threads.
I don't understand why the immediate assumption is that people are going to go balls to the wall with abusing WF characters if WF characters are treated the same as wolf characters when it comes to alliances and conflict, and yeah, they should likely be held to trespassing standards or some kind of territory conditions for simplicity's sake and to quash that minute possibility of abusing them, but I don't think treating them the same as NPC fauna is right. Birds and bats flying over a territory are "immune" to damage by design, but simply add a condition that they can't overhear stuff unless all players agree to it. That's easily enforceable. Small WF will be hunted by wolves in their territory and large WF are already treated like a threat.
The rule's been around a long time but before it existed, I can't recall a single played character being misused in the ways described. It was always NPCs. I never had an issue with the rule because a) I don't play WF and b) I thought it applied only to NPC fauna.
