Protect the wolf in Denmark
Hello to everyone!
We would like to share with all of you a new group in Denmark created to protect the wolf in that country.
Svend Erik, from Denmark, tells us that the wolf is back in Denmark for the first time in 200 years and, as they are just 4-7 of them, it is urgent to protect them from those who want to hunt them, kill them or put them behind fences.
This new grupo aims to protect them and, in that way, allow them to stay free and wild in nature where they belong.
Please, follow the link bellow for more information and for supporting the cause.
Regards
