Robert Goldman is a devoted wolf advocate and currently resides in Maine.

He urges all those interested in learning more about wolves to read Barry Lopez’s Of Wolves and Men and to watch the DVD Lords of Nature by Green Fire Productions. Visit Bob’s new website coming this Winter: www.FriendsOfTheWolves.org.
Here is a few comments from his article about how effective non-lethal control techniques in Minnesota are:
“With help from their state’s wildlife agency and from wildlife advocates, they have willingly adopted non-lethal, wolf and predator friendly control techniques that very, very effectively protect their cattle and sheep. Western cattle ranchers and farmers can learn from the good folks of Minnesota. And those of us who love America’s wolves and wildlife can make sure they do.”
“Ecologist and teacher Aldo Leopold stopped killing wolves and began defending their vital place in nature, when he himself learned through patience and study, about nature and ecology. We can all do that today, the information is there and very accessible. Get a copy of Green Fire Productions’ Lords of Nature DVD. Watch and listen to the wolf-wise ranchers, farmers and hunters of Minnesota. They have learned to live in harmony and respectfully, with the 3,500 wolves roaming free and just being wolves, in their wonderful state.”
