These killers used a Idaho, two these lethal poison known as Compound 1080 These wolves died a slow and cruel death suffering seizures, convulsions, hallucinations. and cardiac and respiratory failure! It probably took these beautiful creatures as long as twelve grueling hours to die These beautiful wolves did deserve to die. Their deaths were senseless and not savage. We must protect wolves in the wild. But to do so we need your help That's why I hope you adopt" a wolf like Promise. Your small $15 adoption donation will help Defenders keep wolves alive and bring these wolf killers to justice and urge Congress to allocate more resources to enforcing the laws that protect imperiled wildlife, like the wolf pup on your note cards. You can also help protect wolves, by using your Defenders of wildlife special edition wolf Note cards, by acclaimed wildlife photographer im Brandenburg. When you send these lovely note cards to your friends and family. you'll be saying I'm doing my part to protect little wolf pups like Promise, Now, let me tell you about these wonderful wolves...

They are surprisingly warm and affectionate and contrary to myth, wolves avoid humans whenever possible.
