I am Wolf.  I am a predator.  A hunter.  I hunt for food.  I do not collect trophies to be mounted on the walls of my den.  I do not hunt for enjoyment but out of necessity, for survival.  I hunt to feed my children so they can one day walk upon Mother Earth and become part of the Circle of Life.

I am Wolf.  I have watched for many years my hunting grounds diminish - trees replaced by buildings, game replaced by humans.  I have been driven higher and higher into the mountains yet the humans still come and I'm driven even farther from the hunting grounds of my fathers father and his fathers before him. Yet I survive.  My children survive.

I am Wolf.  I am a loyal, devoted and loving parent. Our children are our future..just as human children are the future of all humans beings.  I am protective of my children and take my responsibility of their nurturing as seriously as any human parent. I provide food for my children and provide them with a safe home until they are ready to walk their own path.

I am Wolf.  I do not choose to hunt in the presence of humans, but I have been given no other choice.  My land has been taken from me, and now so shall my life and the lives of my children and in doing so our future is doomed - we will go the way of the old ones.  Only in memories of distant pasts shall we live again,

I am Wolf.  Wolves are beauty without vanity, innocence without naivete.
We are one of the Creator's children and deserve to live our lives in peace.
We were created for a purpose and it was not to be hunted down and slaughtered.

I am Wolf.  Tonight I will lay and sleep beside my mate and our children.
This may be the last night we will share together upon Mother Earth for
tomorrow many of our brothers and sisters will
be slaughtered and perhaps ourselves as well ...
our songs will be only a distant memory, fading into the past.
