It's not a horrible theory for trying to rationalize lazy crappy writing. But I don't think there's any real rhyme or reasoning to it other than convenience. Coyotes are more easily trainable and usable in Hollywood than young wolves, and they needed a real animal, because who wouldn't notice a partially shifted child running around for 8 years?

However, on a side note, I'm still not sure I believe Malia really killed her family. I mean, she was a traumatized kid, she might be misremembering things very easily. I still don't think the claw marks look like a scared creature getting out, but a scared creature tauntingly trying to get in. But that might just be crappy set design.
