I am so disappointed in the states and fed actions which are decimating packs. It makes me want to cry.

I wasn't going to log in because I'm really tired but I had to check to see if there was anything that I wouldn't want to miss... then I saw your post.

I want to thank you for posting this, I wish I could make thousands of billboards with this very image! Where I live, we have some wolves but they are hunted relentlessly and in one state nearby, the "season" is at least six months long. This sort of foolish, science-denial destruction will continue until the majority of the US population speaks up and demands that they be protected from hunting and wanton killing for the sake of hubris and ignorance. They were partially restored to their natural habitat because we the people spoke up, we need to do that again or they will continue to suffer at the hands of the ignorant.

This image is very informative and I hope that it helps everyone understand the importance of this species. It is criminal that they were set up for hunting within months of being illegally removed from ESA protections, this is unprecedented and should never been allowed to happen.

THANK YOU!!!

"Any man who says he was et by a wolf is a damn liar."

North American wolves don't eat people. Let them alone.
