I'd fins it neat if you could encounter someone's released pet.
It says that the pet has been returned to the wild.So doesn't this mean there is some chance someone in the world will see and find it again.These pets have IDs because someone had obtained them at some point.It'd be neat to see the user who released the sylesti too.What if it's a really pretty one and you want to thank the user who released it?It'd be nice wouldn't it?It's like finding a treasure chest and not getting hurt from it or finding an egg and a not upset parent.

The text for the pet being returned to the wild is actually just a placeholder, but I do like this idea.
I'm pretty sure that there would have to be a bunch of filtering and scaling of the pets as well (like having to revert the levels of some released pets or put them up to a certain area's level, OR only putting certain pets and not all pets like fabled species out in the available spaces), though it's nice thinking.

This is something that we don't plan on implementing. Some players release pets for a specific reason and would be very unhappy if someone else were able to stumble upon it and collect it. Additionally, it would just be excess use of server load to track and figure all of this out.

I think that there should be like a pound for sylesites so when you release them, you'll be able to find them. :D

Krinadon said that users may not like the idea of other users finding their released pets for various personal reasons.
If anything, I do like the pound idea, maybe there can be a filter or a checkbox saying whether you want to release your pet to the wild (where no one will ever find it) OR sent it to a pound (where other users have a chance to find them), giving the releaser a choice to whether have it be found by someone else.
HOWEVER, it goes without saying that it's totally possible for users to hold pound-like conditions themselves and find homes for their own (OR others') pets. ie Second Chances, a thread where people can give their project pets to other newbies.
