"If all the beasts were gone,
men would die from great loneliness of spirit,
for whatever happens to the beasts
also happens to the man."
Chief Seattle

Diana Elizabeth Stanley

Wolves have long been mis-understood...at one time wolves were so common and dangerous in Britain that the month of January was set aside for hunting them. January was called Wolfmonat, or Wolf Month. Although wolves were exterminated in England in 1509, they could be found in the mountains of Scotland and Ireland until the beginning of the 18th century.

The gray wolf once ranged over the entire western hemisphere, from Central Mexico to the Arctic regions (except in dry desert areas). In Asia it prowled as far south as parts of India. It disappeared from Britain and most of Europe hundreds of years ago.

Fortunately today, there are several groups in the US that are devoted to raising and studying wolves with a goal to stop their extinction. There is a large wolf preserve in Washington State that offers guided tours and if you arrange to go there near the Full Moon and just at dusk, you will be treated to a symphony of wolf calls by the entire population. Although, this is something that would be much better and more natural, heard in the wild.

Below are a few Wolf Friendly sites which are aiming to help save the 
Wolf. Please visit them and sign their petitions. Use your Free Speech to 
speak out about the hunting of wolves. Remember that a wolf is a 
beautiful, spiritual animal. Not a target for thrill-seekers with big 
guns. And please do what you can to help save the wolf.......

Wolf Sanctuary Of Pennsylvania
Home of the Wolves of Speedwell

Established in 1980 as an educational facility, Wolf Sanctuary of Pennsylvania has been caring for and protecting wolves for more than 20 years. Currently, more than twenty wolves are kept in twenty-five acres of natural woodland, where they maintain their own order, choose their own mates, and raise their own offspring.

Tours of the Sanctuary are available, for both individuals and organizations. We are located just two hours west of Philadelphia, two hours north of Baltimore, in the heart of Amish country.

Wolf Sanctuary is a non-profit organization which depends on the love of wolves for the care of these animals. We receive no government or corporate funding; we rely solely on donations from individuals to feed, shelter, and provide veterinary care for the wolves.
