Please Don't Kill My Wolves

Kings and queens of the timberland, their pups learning their royal birthright, running, running in freedom's natural gift, as the winter ochre moon rises above the ridge, the pack howling in unison, a music so enthralling. Crystal blue eyes shudder the dawn, please don't kill my wolves. Oh God, no! I cannot bear the thunderous rifles, as they fell my spirit animals. My heart asunder, my soul bleeds with them in the crimson snows. Please don't kill my wolves, Native American songs echo through the pine forests as their lamentation cries out- please, please don't kill our wolves!

i completely support the sentiment in this - abhorrent practice to try and re-calibrate nature by demonizing certain species and justifying their decimation because of human ecological ignorance - well said

Hi Mat, it's a shameful crime. Us environmentalists feel helpless so often. Thank you for caring. Warmest regards for the New Year. ~

I can identify with your words. Let the wolves be...they're one of God's creatures. Shooting them cuts me to the core. Have a pleasant evening, Sara

Man and his toys, if it moves, kill it. Let the Wolves roam free.

Hi Paul, many of us environmentalists often feel so frustrated and at the same time, more determined to help save our victimized planet survive. Thank you for caring. Warmest regards for the New Year. ~
