" If you talk to the animals, they will talk to you and you will know each other. If you do not talk to them, you will never know them. And what you do not know you will fear. What one fears, one destroys"
Chief Dan George
Today wolves in the United States (outside of Alaska) number around 2,500 and are protected as an endangered species under the Endangered Species Act. It is a violation of the Act to "take" a wolf. As defined in the Act, "take" means to harass, harm, pursue, hunt,shoot, wound, kill, trap, capture, or collect, or to attempt to engage in any such conduct.

Miracles In The Snow
Through the transient fog of the dark winter night, peered haunting blue eyes with their soft glowing light.
The powerful stare with its brilliance and intricacy, brought on a shivering responce full of caution and mystery.
They seemed to float through the air with great charm, in an effort to announce that they meant you no harm.
Yet as subtle the movements had tried to be, an eerie feeling of desolation abruptly took over me.
As I fell to the frozen, unforgiving, forest floor, I noticed those two eyes had been accompanied by two more.
Soon their were three enchanting pairs upon me, watching and listening, gliding through the trees.
With one final shiver the dark night became black, I knew as I slept, that I was not coming back.
I dreamt of a thousand things that night, mostly about a past I wanted to fix and make right.
The bright morning sun was the next thing I saw, which followed by the touch of a rather large paw.
And after providing a steaming kiss on the nose, the wolf disappeared, and I arose.
In the snow at my feet, there were paw prints all about, and the surrounding outlines of the bodies, which helped keep the winter out.
The howl which followed, echoed forever it seemed, conveying the heartfelt message, "you are important to me"
