   During a previous Wolf Educational Presentation, kids got the opportunity to color a wolf picture, write a brief reason why aerial gunning of wolves in Alaska should stop, and mailed in to Governor Sean Purnell. Participants received wolf prizes!Here is what they had to say!

   Rhiannon, age 10: “It is dangerous for wolves. They are part of nature.”
   Alex, age 9: “They are living creatures and deserve to have a life.”
   Grace, age 5: “Some of them are nice.”
   Brittani, age 12: “They are living things just like us. They try to mind their own business but if they do something, it’s for food or dominance.”
   Nathaniel, age 9: “The wolves are essential to the food chain.”
   Riley, age 9: “Wolves are very beautiful and we want them to stay in our world.”
   Aaron, age 6: “It is not nice to kill wolves.”
   Sammy, age 7: “Wolves might help the planet.”
   Hannah, age 9: “There are not many left.”
   Zach, age 9: “Their living things and their important to the food chain.”
   Nathan, age 5: “They aren’t hurting anybody.”
   Frances, age 11: “If you’re killing wolves just for sport, then you’re just killing off another species of animals. Besides, the number of their prey will increase.”
   Mackenzie, age 9: “It is not very nice and wolves are animals and they don’t bother you so why bother them. They are also very beautiful animals. So don’t kill them. Don’t bother them because they don’t bother you.”

   If you ever wonder why it is I gratefully do what it is I am trying to do. These young people and others like them deserve to see wolves in a natural healthy ecosystem.

       The young generation is our best hope for wild lands and the wildlife that roam within it. I loved this article!
