    I rescued a wolf-hybrid at 3 mos. old- the "system" was going to put down. I had him for 15 years- the most intelligent, gentle "dog" I ever met. Everyone fell in love with him. He looked like a wolf, acted different than a dog, howled like a wolf- loved the show "Law & Order" cos of the wolf howl at the end. I finally had to put him down due to his severe arthritis. But if all dogs go to heaven - my Toby is leading their pack!

    I watched "Living with wolves" About 3 or 4 times now over the course of the past year. I absolutely love to watch this movie with Jim and Jamie living among the wolves. And more to the point, I absolutely love and adore wolves. They are a peaceful animal and only among them selves to establish and reinforce pack hierarchy do they display aggression. I find it horrible that mean humans that take their hatred out on wolves are actually allowed to hunt them in the manner explained by Jamie, and I hope people will become more informed on wolves and vote against this type of rule management.
    Wolves must be allowed to stay on the endangered species list and must be allowed to live. Furthermore all killing of wolves should be illegalized and penalized.

    Missouri Conservation, please take notes. With black bear and mountain lions reintroducing themselves naturally, wolves would be a great addition to the state. If bears and cougars are signs that Missouri can support large predators then its about time to start considering reintroducing wolves.

They are amazing creatures with unique traits. I now regard you with great respect. Wolves effect the world in so many good ways. They balance the eco-system. God put them here for a reason. Also, I have a great recommendation for anyone wanting to know even more about wolves. Julie of the Wolves is an interesting series!

      Hunting any endangered species is awful. I think hunting is okay, as you wouldn't exist right now if your ancestors didn't hunt. And knowing directly where your meat source is coming from is a pro as well. As long as it does not cause extirpation of the hunted species and is well regulated hunting is completely natural. In fact, most species on this planet hunt :)

    Concern for the omega expressed here and in “Living With Wolves”, but just as there’s some inner quality that makes the alpha the alpha perhaps the same is true for the omega, and maybe he’s just fine with his place in the pack. We personify his situation and feel sorry, but it’s possible he’s quite happy.
