Mission:Wolf Ambassador Wolf Pack Returns

Ambassador Wolves from Colorado’s Mission:Wolf sanctuary will make their 5th annual appearance in Southington on Wednesday, October 24th for two programs: 5:30pm and 8:00pm.  This year’s only public programs in Connecticut are to be held at Kennedy Middle School on Rte 10, 1071 S. Main Street, Plantsville.


Kent Weber and Tracy Brooks from M:W will present educational programs that offer the public a chance to look into the eyes of a wolf at close range.  The information and presentation will focus on the return of wild wolves across the U.S.  Presenters will answer questions and provide educational material regarding the return of wild wolves and captive wolf/ wolf-dog cross ownership.  Do wolves eat grandmothers?  Do wolf-dog crosses make good pets?  Where can wild wolves live again?  Was that a wolf in my back yard?  What happened to the wolves released in Yellowstone National Park?


 If you’ve ever wanted to see live wolves up close, or learn about the plight of this splendid and misunderstood animal, here’s your chance.  The ambassador wolf pack returns again with alpha Magpie, her companion Abraham, a wolf/dog cross, and gray wolf Zeab.
