The Plight of the Norwegian Wolves: How to Help!!!
Heilsa Bob,
This is Kimberley Remen, the AFA's representative in Norway. Steve McNallen forwarded your email to me. Thank you so much for your support of the Norwegian Wolves. We are going to need every bit we can get. There is a lot of opposition to their very existence by the high powered livestock farming lobbyists. Your enthusiasm is very encouraging! Steve McNallen and I are going to be putting together a petition that you will be able to sign online. I am starting a distribution list of the people who have generously volunteered their help, so as soon as that petition is ready, I will send out emails with the URL. Once you receive it, we would appreciate it if you share it with others you think would care to sign it as well. The more interest we can show, the better.
What you can do in the meantime is send an email or letter expressing your concerns to the addresses I've included below. People tend to take letters more seriously when they arrive in the post, so I've included both email and post addresses so you can choose. The first is for the World Wildlife Fund in Norway. If we get enough people bugging them about it, we can get them moving on it again at high speed (like they were about the time of the recent wolf hunt). The second and third are the addresses to the Prime Minster of Norway, and the Minister of the Environment of Norway.
If you wish to make a donation, there is a donation link on the AFA's website. I'm not sure if you can earmark it for a specific purpose that way, but if you have any questions about that I'm sure Steve can take care of it.
The wolves have no voice in this political atmosphere, and I fear that if we don't do something, then the people of Norway will never again hear their beautiful song. The sheep farmers are stuck in their ways of allowing their sheep to roam without shepherding them, and in such an environment they are indeed open to predators. I have several ideas to propose to the conservationists and the government to strike a balance and preserve them for generations to come.
I for one am grateful for all the support we can get! :D
Once again, thank you for your support. We will notify you of any major changes, and of course will provide the petition link when it is available.
Hail the Wolves!
Hail the Gods!
Kimberley Remen
