He gazes up at the moon:
And how is for his mate,
While hunters, and trappers,
Decide on his fate.
This wolf is shy, and misunderstood;
He’s labeled as evil, and up to no good.
But, in order for him, and his pack to survive,
He must kill his prey to keep this family alive.
He has a mate, and five pups;
Close-by in a den,
These cute little ones,
Are depending on him.
He stalks a deer, an elk, or moose;
And once in a while, and occasional goose.
He might stalk a rabbit, or even a hen,
Then he takes it all back, to his pups in the den.
So please understand;
He has a family to feed.
He doesn't’t kill out of spite,
He kills out of need.
These wolves are endangered;
Extinction they face,
Without the love, and protection,
Of the whole human race.
This poem was based on a true story, about Wolf #10, who lived in Yellowstone Park. He was killed on purpose by one of the farmers in a nearby town. He left his mate, with five pups. This was a sad, but true story. Generally, Wolves are shy of humans, and will usually run away. Statistics have proven that very few Wolves have ever attacked a human, without provocation.
Please take time to sign this petition
Alaska's majestic gray wolves are in grave danger. The state has issued permits to aerial gunners and pilots to chase the wolves, run them to exhaustion and shoot them from the air or to land and shoot them at point-blank range. More than 550 wolves have already been killed in this manner over the last three years!
Help us Save America's Wolves! Sign the petition below to urge the Bush administration to end the brutal slaughter of these magnificent animals by enforcing the Federal Airborne Hunting Act.
