I read the article with great interest. Although I had to look Montebello up because it is the name of the Franklin Delano Roosevelt family estate in New York. I did find that you are writing about Omega Parc in Québec. A place that few of us in the lower 48 know of. We have lots of exotic animals here in Texas, and I have visited the Safari next to the Natural Bridge Caverns twice, driving through and even feeding the animals.
But there is no place like you describe, with five packs of wolves in large enclosures with cabins strategically placed so that the occupiers can get up close and personal with the wolves. It was interesting how you described the wolf and dog behavior being similar, since all dogs are known to have been domesticated from the wolf.
It is sad to see so many animals held captive. But I believe they are well cared for and it helps the visitors to get to see so many native Canadian animals up close and personal like, "bonding with a doe."
Your article was very well written and clear except for whether the bears were seen from your cabin or not. And there was a bit of repetition about the fences and nets, making it like a zoo. The pictures beautifully illustrated what you are writing about.
I was very interested in your description of the wolf behavior because I am writing the story of a man living in the wilderness of central Europe 5500 years ago. Wolves are part of the story.
The true story of Cheryl Pierson Cuccio who made headlines in 1986 and her husband Rob Cuccio. Cheryl was abused sexually and physically and Rob died for 43 minutes on Cheryl's 43rd birthday.
TRUE STORY. Bella survived an abusive powerbroker father with organized crime ties, a drug-addicted mother and a physically/sexually abusive brother. Shocking & inspirational. When she couldn't cry, she tattooed a crying angel to cry for her.
