RUNNING OUT OF TIME...

That is all I kept thinking about today. We are running out of time to save our wolves. The hunt begins in November and although it seems like a lifetime away it's really just around the corner. The leaves are already beginning to change from a bright green to a dull yellow which means fall isn't far away. Once the leaves begin to drop it won't be long and we'll be hearing about all the dead wolves being dragged into the DNR for inspection; not looking forward to the pictures that will emerge. It is hard to comprehend how someone can save an animal from the brink of extinction and then shout "hey, they bounced back, now let's kill 'em." It is insane.

Well, we are doing our best to stop it. As I told my daughters - if we sit and do nothing, the hunt/trap season is sure to happen, if we get up off our asses and try to make a difference then maybe the wolves will have a chance. Here we are getting off the couch. We spread ourselves out on Summit Avenue in front of the Govenor's mansion (since the Governor does have the power to stop this hunt/trap). This fight isn't over - we'll be handing out information on the hunt and how you can help stop it at the Minnesota Renaissance Festival during Pet Fest weekend (August 18 & 19) so if you are in Minnesota make sure you drop by.
