The actual acquiring of it, after I defeated an alpha monster (who apparently must have been a Griffon,) included a text saying the mother wouldn't be too pleased. Now, considering there are monsters and undead, it could be assumed that a dire wolf or a griffon could be a monsters. The chances of raising a dire wolf as a pet is far-fetched, I agree, but having one in the first place (in comparison to a fricken griffon) is plausible considering evolution. NOW, the real question is since the Griffon is part hawk and part lion, and Hawks can be trained, while Lions can be.......... unleashed, would it be possible to attempt raising one 
? Archaic and medieval societies all believed in the prowess of the Griffon, hence the heraldry and the numerous statues.
I'd say that depends on how you handle it. Something tells me that roleplaying about riding your loyal griffon mount through the sky would not pass muster if it was reported. Again, context, content and plot all matter here. Becoming some sort of flying griffon knight is pushing pretty deeply into high fantasy territory. Caring for a fledgling griffon for a short time until it gets too large and dangerous to handle or otherwise flies off? Well, that's more plausible, if not the wisest thing for a character who values his limbs to do.
In the end, SMA is about fostering a certain atmosphere. It would be next to impossible to define a set of hard and fast rules to describe something so subjective, especially when Tom has already introduced so many explicitly fantastic elements into the setting. If you're going to introduce low fantasy elements into your own RPs in this atmosphere, you're in dangerous territory and should not be upset if you end up getting an SMA violation, but it is my opinion that such things can be done tastefully and in an appropriate SMA-friendly way.
A Game of Thrones is actually not a terrible thematic model to follow, provided you treat certain things (mainly the fantastic elements) carefully as items that are mainly the purview of Tom. A Game of Thrones presents, in its characterizations and the ways that characters interact with each other and the setting, a fairly ideal SMA world, at least within the bounds of Westeros itself.
