We found "The Wild Animal Sanctuary" by accident when we were in Denver, Colorado for a day on our recent driving trip to Colorado, Arizona and Utah. This sanctuary takes in confiscated and surrendered animals, including bears, wolves, lions, tigers and many other carnivores. Some came from circuses, others from being used in photography sessions that did not prove to be lucrative and still others that were kept in cages or small enclosures in people's back yards, basements, apartments and garages. Most were born in captivity and suffered terrible neglect and abuse at the hands of their owners. It took 2 bears, that were so used to walking on their hind legs, a month to learn that they were supposed to walk on all four legs. Some became addicted to nicotine so they would do what their owners wanted. Each animal has a story.
The animals looked very healthy and had lots of room to roam. You cannot photograph at ground level so they have a 1 mile long raised walkway where you can see animals interacting with each other and doing what they were meant to do. Once the animals are comfortable being with other rescued animals, they are moved to live in a large acreage habitat of their own.
The wolves decided to gang up on each other. It sounded terrible but they were just playing. We were there in the afternoon so the tigers were sleeping but they do have a water area for them to play. The bears had a large area to live in "Bear luxury".
Many thanks for your visit and comments. They are very much appreciated.
Maybe there is hope that the prosecution of wolves will end... apparently the public is beginning to take notice of the harsh lives they are leading thanks to Bush administration policies.
Wouldn't it be amazing in so many way if Palin were brought down by the very wolves she has mandated be slaughtered?
Apparently the Defenders of Wildlife adds against the wolf slaughter are gaining traction and going to be shown just before the debate.

Name: Tala Species: Timber Wolf DOB: March 2009 Fur color: Silver/grey brown Name meaning: "Tala"-Native American Wolf" Tala is a sweet little wolf with a big personality. Tala is a curious female who comes when called, loves belly rubs, and happily overwhelms people with puppy kisses.

This is the alpha female standing over another wolf just making sure that the others understand who is in charge...the other wolf is of course being very submissive. These are two of eight wolves in a captive pack at the Halliburton Forest and Wolf Centre in Haliburton, Ontario, Canada.

A wolf of the Grant Creek pack linage, taken in the Highway Pass area of Denali National Park.
The Grant Creek Pack is in some disarray right now. A trapper trapped the alpha female this spring and the loss of an alpha can disrupt the entire pack of the alpha male doesn't pick a new mate in the pack. I heard both that the pack was disbanding and that the outcome was still undertain this weekend.
If they disband it will be unfortunate as this pack has worked alongside the road for the last several years and is the source of most of the wolf sighings in Denali.
