From Loredana

A series (on Discovery Channel) that WOLF was asked to participate in called Wild Animal Repo covered the rescue of over 80 wolf-dogs in Southern California.  WOLF was not involved with this rescue except to communicate with the rescuers about the situation and to have them contact the Discovery folks.  The organization in California, Lockwood Animal Rescue Center, was attempting to save the animals at an out-of-control breeder in the San Diego area.  The events required to save all of the animals were dramatic and it appeared that the production company had caught that drama on tape.

Now for some reason, the show has been pulled.  Although there are not a lot of details as to what is going on, it does appear to be permanent.  Obviously, we would be very happy for the general public to become much more aware of the crisis concerning captive wildlife.  It is also important for an organization that spends significant dollars to rescue animals to receive some sort of visibility in an attempt to gain some needed donations.

We believe strongly that if the general public were to express their thoughts on the subject, it would get the Discovery Channel to reconsider their decision.  Please use one of the methods below to express your feelings to them.

SAMPLE MESSAGE

Dear Decision Maker:

The plight of captive wildlife is growing in its scope and significance and should be of great concern to any individual who respects life and animals.  To condemn a wild and free spirit to captivity and inappropriate caretakers is unconscionable.  The resulting conditions from which wild animals then need to be rescued should provide the level of education and exposure that is worthy of the Discovery Channel.

It has come to my attention that you have recently cancelled just such a show: Wild Animal Repo.  Please reconsider your decision and how significant your help could be to prevent these situations in the future.  Thank you for your careful and considerate review of this situation.

Sincerely,

Wolves, a Tribute | Adiemus by Karl Jenkins
