In Broken Arrow Oklahoma, about 30 miles from my home there is an Exotic Animal Sanctuary. They rescue animals from stupid people that think they can raise them as pets but when they get too big or troublesome to handle they get rid of them. The sanctuary has lions, tigers, zebras and a variety of other animals, they survive off of grants, donations and other private funding. In the last 6 months 5 grey wolves have mysteriously died, autopsies have shown that they have died from some type of poisoning such as meat laced with rat poison. Officials believe that the tainted meat was thrown over the fences by some sick individual. These wolves started their lives as pets and can be handled quite easily by humans, the bad thing about it is that they have relied on humans for food so they will normally eat whatever is given to them. Normally 70 % of the food for the sanctuary comes from donations, but now all food donations have been halted until further notice, this has put a large drain on the their finances now that 100 % has to be paid for. Right now a 6th wolf has taken ill and does not look like it’s going to make it. I would love to catch the sick son of a bitch that is responsible for this, I would take him (assuming that it’s a him) out to the woods and set him on a stump, I’d nail his nuts to the stump and then catch the stump on fire. Most wolves in North America are endangered anyway, from years of ranchers poisoning and trapping them to keep them away from stock animals, I can understand protecting what’s yours but it was taken way to far. I’ve known a few people who have owned part wolf mixes and they have been fine pets. Anyone who would kill one for sport or whatever perverse reason is a sick Asshole in my book. I hope this matter at the sanctuary is resolved soon.
