Wolves need compassion

Dear editor:

I don’t know who Henry Beston was, or maybe is, but he said, “Animals are not brethren, they are not underlings; they are other nations caught with us in the net of life and time, fellow prisoners in the splendor and travail of earth.”

I would invite you, before possibly going to vote or suiting up for the next hunt, to read the following:

—”Never Cry Wolf,” by Farley Mowat, first published September, 1963.

—”To the Top of the World, Adventures with Arctic Wolves,” by Jim Brandenburg, published 1993.

—”God’s Dog,” by Hope Ryden, published 1975.

—”The Lives of Wolves, Coyotes and Foxes,” by Stan Tekiela, published 2012.

Not an adventure reader?

Just take note of the letter from Al Warren, of Ewen, in the Daily Globe on Feb. 6, 2014, to see who you have really given your country.
