The wolves were rarely seen at the moment. During the week in Finland, we were lucky one morning and were able to observe 3 animals at dusk.

An opinion piece published yesterday in the #BillingsGazette explores #CodyRoberts ' #torture of a young female #wolf in Daniel, #Wyoming. By now, most of you have heard the news or seen the disturbing photos and videos. We remain disgusted by the #cruelty, as does our partner and op-ed author #JeffEwelt.
In his op-ed, Jeff Ewelt, the Executive Director of #ZooMontana and a partner of The #RelistWolves Campaign,
Ewelt points to the urgent need for stricter #AnimalCrueltyLaws and a shift in #WildlifeManagement practices to prevent further such incidents and protect wildlife.
We support Jeff Ewelt's call for increased oversight and #LegalReforms to prevent horrific events like this from happening again. We appreciate all those who have taken action and shared the news amongst your network. If you have not done so yet, there's still time to raise your voice for #wolves. Thank YOU!
• Send a letter urging the State of #Wyoming to ban the use of snowmobiles and other motorized vehicles to chase down and kill #wolves and other animals.
#CodyRoberts must be charged for animal cruelty not only for #justice to be served, but for the precedent that this incident will set.
Urge the Director to support legislative action to ban "wolf/coyote whacking," which is the practice of using #snowmobiles and other motorized vehicles to chase down and kill #wolves and #coyotes.
where she was paraded around like a prize despite her grave #injuries. Finally, the hunter took her out back and shot her.
This poor wolf was captured in what's called a "#PredatorZone," where there are basically no rules for how and when wolves can be killed. But #wolves in #Wyoming can't tell the difference between safe places for them -- places like #Yellowstone -- and places where they're subject 24/7 to #slaughter.
They deserve to spend time with their beloved pack members,
As an #author I often assume knowledge that I should ask about. So, here's the ask: As an average person, if you saw a woman in an urban situation with a #wolf (it is a wolf but nobody is saying it is a wolf), would you assume it was a #dog?
Please boost for maximum sample size.
Feel free to comment if you have experience with telling the difference or studying #wolves.
A #GrayWolf killed in a January #coyote hunt in #Michigan's southern Lower Peninsula; #DNR investigating how it got there.
The harvest was potentially the 1st time a gray wolf has been identified in the Lower Peninsula since the species was wiped out driven to [#extinction] from the state in the early 20th century, MI Dept of #NaturalResources said.
"It's possible it naturally got there, but it's also obviously possible it had some help getting there," said Brian Roell, a large carnivore specialist for the #DNR. "Those are things we want to understand better. We want to know when it was actually harvested, where it was harvested…."
#WordWeavers 2404.01 — MC POV: Write a Mastodon introduction post.
#Introduction I'm really new to the #Mastodon thing, but Her Highness told me I had to do this and taught me how. Everyone at school calls me their "Wild Woman," thus my @WildWomanOfFellWoods handle. I'm becoming used to that because it's true. I've lived amongst #wolves since I was 7 with the Blue Feathers pack, so I'll be posting lots of #wolf spark renders, like the one of Mother Wolf below. (Read the ALT text.) She's the third white wolf in that role because people live longer. I #hunt with #knives, but am learning #archery because I'm not yet a provider for the pack. I can't run as fast as they can, so I use my #knife once they've brought down the prey. My #gift is befriending #beasts. I can speak with them and they become smarter. I'm not sure if the effect is just on those beasts I've met, or if it spreads. If you've noticed wolves being smarter or more friendly to people, please private message me! If you want to. Not trying to impose. This goes with red #dragons. I befriended the one all over the news who burnt up the farm—and, no, she wasn't going to burn up the capital! She sneezed. Next to a grain silo. 😅 Nevertheless, if another shows up and turns out friendly, let me know! Sorry. I don't have any #dragon pictures. You can ask me about dragons, though. I also do #modeling, so you've probably seen me in a magazine. Yeah. I'm that #model. I won't post pictures, though, because I'd have to CW. But you can ask about that. I'm #shy so I don't do meet ups.
The #wolf, spotted deep in the woods of #Italy’s Gran Bosco di Salbertrand park, was not grey like his companion, but an unusual blond. His colouring indicated this was not a wolf at all, but a hybrid #wolfdog.
Now that I have a new website (and have cleared out all the old posts) I will occasionally edit and reprint old posts - today it's all about the myth of the Alpha wolf, and my new werewolf!Mrs Hudson Holmesian book, The She-Wolf of Baker Street, due out this month!
"Ecologists calculate that Scotland has space for 50 to 94 wolf packs. Wolves, argues Gow, will produce many environmental benefits, chiefly reducing our 2m deer, a wild population growing by 10% each year & living at a far higher density than in any other European country. So many deer are decimating rare plants & preventing the natural regeneration of trees. But the main obstacle to the wolf’s return remains sheep"
Good article on one of my heroes, Derek Gow. #Wolves
