Saving Wolves Through Social Media by Cathy Kangus

"....Despite efforts by animal welfare groups to protect wolves, a bill passed in the lame duck session of the Michigan legislature last year that would allow the trophy hunting of wolves for the first time in nearly 50 years. Since there are fewer than 700 wolves in Michigan, it is totally senseless that the state would spend decades ensuring the survival of wolves only to turn around and sanction their slaughter.

A coalition of animal welfare organizations, conservation groups and Native American tribes has launched a referendum campaign to qualify for the November 2014 general election ballot and enact a public veto of that legislation. The group has launched a new website for volunteers and voters atwww.KeepWolvesProtected.com. The goal of the organization is to keep wolves safe from sport hunting and trapping in Michigan.

The wolf is a magnificent creature. Rather than hunting it down, we should be looking for more ways to protect it. Even if you can't contribute financially to the efforts of various organizations that help wolves, lend your support by sharing information about #LoboWeek with your friends on Facebook and Twitter beginning March 23."
