The DNR Is Changing Their Stance

    Although Adrian Wydeven will still not communicate with W.O.L.F. representatives, he has answered some emails sent by concerned individuals.  In one of those, referring to DNR plans for the wolf, he said,

“Remove the animal from the landscape and either euthanize it or send to captive wolf research facility if available and if permits and other authorities allow.”

     In a recent TV interview (watch interview-click), Signe Holtz (DNR-Bureau Director, Endangered Resources) stated,

“...we are considering alternatives right now...”

     At this writing W.O.L.F. does have a phone call into Signe Holtz, but are not optimistic that she will return it.

     Additionally, in the process of trying to expedite a permit from the US Fish & Wildlife Service, in order to move the wolf from WI, we were told that the DNR was pursuing arrangements to move the wolf to a research facility in Minnesota.  The name of that facility is the “Wildlife Science Center” and their web site is: http://www.wildlifesciencecenter.org/

     We have a call into the Executive Director of this facility, Peggy Callahan.  We are excited that this is being considered as an option, but are somewhat concerned about the fact that this is a “research facility”.  We want to know what type of plans they have for this animal, if it is sent there.  Please email Peggy at :

wscinfo@wildlifesciencecenter.org

and ask, “what will you do with this wolf?”

The Message Is Getting Into The Media

     Your emails, faxes and phone calls have received attention from the media as well.  The story is being reported on numerous TV reports and in Newspapers.  It has even been picked up by the AP wire and been printed in Metropolitan Areas outside of Wisconsin (ie. Chicago Tribune, Minneapolis-St. Paul Star Tribune, Denver Post).

     There are polls set-up and a discussion page established to help spread the message even more.

     Please view the listings below for links to some of those reports and web sites.

Please! Keep The Pressure On

     Please don’t believe we have won this battle, yet!

If we slack off at this point, there is no assurance that the wolf’s life will be spared.  We must keep up the pressure and let the authorities know that we are still watching.

     It is also important that this animal not be used for research or exploited in any way.

     Please Send One More Email To All Of The Addresses Listed Below -- THANK YOU!
