Very Endangered Wolf Killed
One of the seriously endangered groups of wolves in this country is the Mexican Gray Wolf, with only 42 of them left in the Southwest. Tragically, another one of these wolves was found shot to death in Arizona. That makes three of them recently and 31 of them shot over the last eleven years by [...]
Support the Tiger Stamp
We are not winning the battle to protect and save the tiger. We aren’t losing either. It seems to me we are just holding the status quo. A lot more needs to be done and that is going to cost dollars. That is why I am so happy that the USPO Tiger Stamp is being [...]
Sign the Earth Day Declaration 2010
As usual The League of Conservation Voters has an action you can take on behalf of the environment. This group can always be counted on to stand up for animals, clean energy, habitat conservation and anything else that will help nature and this planet. This group can also be counted on to back their ideals [...]
Protect The Arctic Refuge for Good
Environmentalists and all of us tree hugging hippies have been trying to get the Arctic National Refuge protected for a long time. It seems we have fought this fight time and time again and in fact, we have. Now let’s finish it for good. Let’s end the rush to open this area for oil drilling. [...]
Anatolian Shepherd – An Ancient Dog Breed
Anatolian Shepherds are truly an ancient breed of dogs. It is probable that dogs of this type existed 6,000 years ago in Mesopotamia. Now that is a long time for a breed to be around. This dog was developed in the Anatolia region of central Turkey where they were bred to tend flocks of sheep [...]
Discovery Not For Wolves?
I refuse to let this site become political in any way. That said, the ex governor of Alaska is a proponent of aerial hunting of wolves and contributed to a whole lot of other damage to the environment while she was leading the state. Of course, I am speaking of Sarah Palin. I don’t want [...]
SW Wolf Near Extinction
There is a group of wolves that at one time were numerous throughout Arizona and New Mexico. These wolves are known as Mexican Grey Wolves or Lobos. Because of hunters, poachers and trappers there are only 42 of these animals left in the wild in the southwest. We need to do something to help this [...]
Once More for the Wolves
I know that the fight over wolves gets depressing at times. But in my opinion, you only have to look into the eyes of one of these beautiful animals to see the fight is worth it. No matter how long it takes or how many petitions, advertisements and letters are needed, I will continue to [...]
Tell Utah-Lay off the Wolves
I am really getting tired of the idiocy over wolves. They are endangered, they work with nature to maintain the environment and they kill to eat, not just for the fun of it. One type of human I would like to see as endangered as the wolf is state legislators who tries to make a [...]
Why are Dogs Shooting Us?
I ran across a story recently about a hunter who was shot by his dog. Yes, you read that correctly shot……by his dog. The story rang a bell because I seemed to remember reading about another hunter who was actually shot by his dog and died from his wound. I had a funny feeling that [...]
Corporate Sponsored Wolf Hunts
Predator Derbies? Really? This is where hunters see how many wolves and other animals they can kill in a three day period. They get points for each kill. How much for a dead wolf? Three points. That’s right three points for a dead wolf. The money the sponsoring corporations are getting from entry fees and [...]
News About Wolves
The other day, I received an email from the Defenders of Wildlife about wolves. It is an update of what went on in 2009 and a call to action for 2010. I thought I would share this with the readers of this blog to keep you informed, to give you a chance to help and [...]
Thanks for 2009
I know that many times it seems like we give and we sign petitions and we work but nothing changes. Well in 2009 we all made a difference to a lot of animals. Wolves, otters, polar bears,bats and more benefited from our work. We helped stop some cruelty and we helped our environment. I received [...]
The Rare Ethiopian Wolf
As the name suggests these animals live only in Ethiopia. Fewer than 500 of these singular dogs remain. This is the world’s rarest wolf. Diseased dogs, climate change, agriculture and other factors are threatening the few that remain. This appears to be the most endangered carnivore on the planet and people are now trying to [...]
Sad News About Wolves
I received this email today and I must pass it along to my readers that have been trying so hard to help wolf populations in this country. I really hate to be the bearer of such sad news, but I know the bad must be taken along with the good. Will we ever learn as [...]

National Wolf Awareness Week is October 11 to October 17, 2009. Get all your questions answered. Learn anything about wolves that you would like to know and understand your environment better because of the knowledge you gain. If we can eliminate some of the old wives tales and better educate people about these dog relatives, [...]
Help End Aerial Gunning of Wolves
Yes, I am back on the defense of wolves front. These poor, maligned animals pose no danger to us, yet we seem to take perverse joy in trying to eliminate them from the face of the Earth. When will people understand that all creatures play an integral part in our environment? And when will we learn [...]
