A Short Break From Chasing After Little Jack,

After I Catch This Orphan, I Hope To Be Back

“If the wolf is to survive, the wolf haters must be outnumbered.

They must be out shouted, out financed, and out voted.

Their very narrow and biased attitude must be outweighed,

By an attitude based on an understanding of natural processes.”

L. David Mech

As Governor Sarah Palin

Attempts to exterminate them

Wolf behavior expert Shaun Ellis

Attempts to study and assist them

He has a brand new show on The Animal Planet

That will be making its television debut, tomorrow

My wife and I and our dogs will be eagerly watching

Alaska’s continued wolf slaughter, fills us with sorrow

By immersing himself in their wolf hierarchy

Shaun’s ultimate goal is to promote understanding

While helping to re-integrate world wolf populations

Something which is needed in natural balance enhancing

I’ve been able to get close to wolves in the wild

But I would truly love to do what Mr. Ellis is doing

He’s actually become a member of a pack of saved wolves

And hopefully his new show, more wolf knowledge will bring

All of my heroes these days seem to be conservationists like Mr. Ellis

Who very wisely realize that we should all be working to save our planet

And all of my villains these days are politicians like the Governor of Alaska

Who don’t care much about Earth’s wildlife, and callously take it for granted

“We humans fear the beast within the wolf,

Because we do not understand,

The beast within ourselves.”

Gerald Hausman

Alaska I swear will only be restored to its natural beauty when Sarah Palin is no longer governor. I agree with all Shaun Ellis does and hope that show helps people understand what is going on. Great write.

I am taken by suprise with this one, buddy.

But not totally shocked. What is shocking though is how a Fundamentalist like Palin could abandon the teachings of Jesus.

Where is the love?

Whomever is in charge of Yellowstone Nat. Park wanted, just a few years ago to repopulate the park's wolves population. Well they thrived, but now there are so many ferrel wolves they are going to start exterminating them........go figure.

If they prove that Sarah Palin is a wolverinne, then, by Alaskan laws we can shot her? after all the Alaska Governor said it is OK, oops! our Sarah "is" the damn governor!

PS: To the FBI and Secret Service, don't come back at me about making treatening comments under Federal Law, because I will scream about the Freedom of Speach, something you haven't in your books!

I share in the sorrow also.

Sometimes I believe the most inhumane beast on Earth is man.

I pray that the slaughtering of the wolves and other animals will soon stop before it is too late and this new show will be a blessing in the education of those who lack. Thanks for posting this...

Be always safe,

As a canine lover, I applaud your efforts. I would just like to be out in nature where I don't have to worry about anyone else for a while. Your idea of doing what Shaun Ellis is doing I hope comes alive some day. Keep on Keeping on. Liz

What better way to say then Hausman, your heros are mine too, and yest we have to try to outnumber them, I would add, I like the line that sort of went something like this, I think it came out of the book the interlopers, If you meet a wolf on a path in the woods, you know what he's liable to do, but if you meet a man, I like the honesty in this, at be honored to belong to the wolf family, but I would have a far way to go, with all my internal conflictions and lies. Blees you friend! Jasmin Horst
