The Wolf is a much maligned creature thanks in part to many of the fairy stories we heard as children. In fact they are wonderful creatures with their own social structures which include family values and recognized codes of conduct which help them to live in harmony. Humans could learn a lot from these animals.
Every Pure Dog Listener looks to the wolf as a starting point in learning to truly understand all canines on this planet. Many of us have been out to Yellowstone Park to see them in the wild and also to meet with many of the people working on field studies and other research. The understanding and appreciation we gain of domesticated dogs and their behaviours during these visits these visits cannot be exaggerated.
Sadly some humans like to kill other creatures and the choice of target at present is the Yellowstone wolves. There is much confusion in America at present with the wolf being moved on and off the list of protected species apparently with little logic being used. If we lose these wonderful animals we’ll never get them back.
Below is a press release from the U.S. please read it and do what you can
“Yellowstone National Park’s famous Cottonwood Pack has just been destroyed — all the adult wolves have been killed, and the surviving pups will likely die without the rest of their wolf family.
The Cottonwoods are just some of the latest victims of the federal government’s likely illegal decision to eliminate vital protections for our wolves in Greater Yellowstone and the northern Rockies. Unless we are successful in urging Interior Secretary Ken Salazar to reverse this bad decision, hundreds more wolves will be killed.”
