I AM THE WOLF

I am the wolf, a loner at heart.......

You are the human, and will rarely if ever see me.......

I roam the wilderness forests and mountains of this earth that we share.......

I mate for survival ...... as you do

I help my mate raise our pups in the warmth of our den, nurturing and
watching them grow and play......as you do with your human young........

We run as a pack family, and our members are as close as those in yours.......

When a member is lost, we grieve, but go on, ......just as you do…....

When I am hungry, I must hunt for myself and my family,
because that is all I know.......

There are no stores to cater to my every need.......

Some of you have said that I am a killer -- a cold-blooded hunter of death.......

But when I kill, it is to feed my family, and I only take the old, sick,
and weak, who will die regardless.......

I do not kill to hang heads for trophies on my walls ...... as you do.......

Now I am the hunted, by you.......

You are afraid of me, because you do not understand me.......

You think I am taking from your herds of plenty, which you advertise to big game
hunters for their tourist dollars.......

Yes, you are afraid of me, but I cannot hurt you.......

You are the one with the power to destroy my kind.......

You set your traps to torture me, and send your helicopters to
kill me from the air.......

I cannot fight you, for that is not my way ...... that is yours.......

I only want my freedom.......to run, live, and sing to the moon.......

I will share this earth with you in peace.......as long as you let me.......

I am the Wolf...
