Based on the fact that I'm typing this I still have all my fingers and toes.....The goats went to walk with the wolves and indeed it was cool...
First up was some history, then some serious Do's and Don'ts about how to behave when we were with the wolves, then we were off across the fields with two wolves. These things are VERY strong and kinda go where they want to go and everybody else follows !! When we got back we had to go into the enclosure and hide food under heavy logs, bury it, fix it to the fence etc, then they let the wolves back in and amazingly quickly they go forage for it. I sat and watched Cheza the Alpha Male crunch his way through a whole rabbit in a matter of seconds Loads of photo ops were available all through the visit, here is just a few.... Thanks to all the handlers and staff at the Anglian Wolf Society for a great visit Friday, July 10

This weekend I am going walking with Wolves.....yup, real ones with long legs and teeth.
The guys from The Anglian Wolf Society have it organised. If I don't get my ass eaten i will post up some pix on Monday of the adventure. About AWS: The Society was founded in 1999 by Phil Watson in collaboration with Runar Naess, one of Scandinavia's top canine behaviourists. Phil has a Post Graduate Certificate in Canine Behaviour and Dog Training from Middlesex University. We began planning to construct our own site to offer homes to zoo surplus wolves during the spring and summer of 2000. We became a Company Limited by Guarantee (non-profit company) in September 2000 and began building our site over the winter of 2000/2001. We acquired our first wolf cubs in spring 2001 from a surplus litter born in a centre in southern England. We spent most of the year 2001 raising our cubs and developing our site (with private funding) and only started facing the public in December 2001 when we began the process of building membership and making contact with overseas conservation projects which we now raise funds for. Within the Society, the core group - which runs our site and looks after our wolves - operates on a consent and majority basis; a bit like a family. There is no rank within the Society; there are no 'job-titles', no 'managers', no committees and no politics. There is a special place in our Society for ideology - it is round, about 18 inches high and emptied twice a week. We have a company resolution that states that we will not compromise the cause of wolf conservation by indulging in competetive, abusive or defamatory behaviour towards other wolf conservation groups (even though some indulge in it regularly against each other and occasionally against us as well). Our site is manned and the wolves watched over 24 hours a day. |
