I loved this story. I have so much passion for animals, then it brought up Jane Goodall for me, someone I respect so much. And had always wished I'd had a path like she did. But we all have our own paths. Hers shines so brightly. Thanks for bringing that thought to me this grim morning.
Thank you so much, Dana. I sometimes feel more connected to animals than humans. This was especially true as an introverted child. And I really love Jane Goodall.
On a similar note, thanks for mentioning Rick McIntyre. I'm working my way through the three books he's published on the Yellowstone wolves. He's such an engaging writer and the wolves are fascinating.
Oh, I'm so glad to hear you are reading the three books on the Yellowstone wolves! He really is the perfect writer for these books. They're having quite a crisis now outside the boundaries of the Park, with people killing wolves. I'll never understand killing wild animals.
People fear and don't understand them. I can see an unfortunate need to kill animals that are attacking people and pets. That's actually been happening within some of our cities in B C., since lockdown emboldened larger predators to enter (mostly big cats). We also had coyotes attacking people on a regular basis in a major Vancouver park last year. I'm pretty sure they were too habituated to humans because we're too stupid not to feed them! To me those deaths were needless and senseless.
If humans would let wildlife be wild, I think the need to protect ourselves would be much rarer. Most wildlife will avoid us, rather than attack.
Oh, Mikey! How sad for him, what a heartwarming story of Love. Yay, Lenna.
Thank you, Connie. 💜
