.:Background behind the founding of Kindred Spirits of the Wolf Organization:.

.:Background, Trinity:.

    Kindred Spirits of the Wolf was founded by Peace and MoonWolf in October of 1999, shortly after the killing of several members of the Sheep Mountain Pack in Yellowstone National Park.

    It is fair to say, that I, Peace, was utterly horrified to learn that my tax dollars were being used for "hunt and kill" control methods of these noble animals, by the very force meant to protect them.

    I have loved and studied wolves since childhood. To me they were, and remain, the most beautiful and intelligent of animals. My attraction to, and kinship with the Wolf is very strong. I have always felt the call of these creatures, and a need to help them. Given a choice, I would be at Wolf Haven, or a similar Sanctuary, helping to care for and preserve these animals.

    As this is impossible for me, being disabled, I have chosen the medium of the World Wide Web to educate about, and fight for the protection of, the Wolf.

I do not romanticize them here, I am presenting facts in as unbiased a manner as possible, although sometimes, I would like to sugar coat the truth. These are wild animals, not meant to be kept as pets, or treated as one would a domestic dog. They can be vicious if provoked, and are amazingly strong. They do occasionally attack and kill livestock, and family pets, however the instances are rare, and Defenders Of Wildlife offers compensation to any ranchers who loose livestock.

The wolf is still an endangered species in this country, although they are not considered endangered in Alaska. In fact, in Alaska, there is no limit, or control on the slaughter of the Wolf.

Perhaps if you have never looked into the amber eyes of a wolf you would not understand. Look deeply into the eyes of a Wolf, and you will see an intelligence, and perhaps, as I have, a plea....
A plea for understanding.
