The proud hunt and smiles of Wolf hunters. Picture from http://www.skinnymoose.com Breaks my heart
What I’ve been reading
Wolves being slaughtered
Their broken bodies bleeding
Whilst a hunter smiles
His picture taken
With his trophy kill
Their souls forsaken
Trapped in wire or
Metal teeth
Guns and poisons
It beggars belief
That we call ourselves
Civilised
When all you hear
Is the sad wolves cry
Some hunters mark
Themselves with the kill
Proud they are
It makes me ill
These sick misguided fools
Have no idea
Uneducated are they
And do not hear Mass wolf kill. You can hear the silence of the forest now. Picture http://www.inzanaoutfitters.com
A pack being hunted
For trying to survive
Lost one of its number
Forever they hide
For they fear us
Always have
As we always kill
It’s us who is bad
I hope one day
Hunters will see
Their terrible mistakes
The killing of beauty
The slaughter of wolves
Is a heart-rending sound
Can you not hear
Their pitiful howls..?
I'm a thinker, listener, a "question's pretty much everything" type of person. A seeker of knowledge, always restless, yet seeks the calm in life.
I love writing in all forms and am in the process of completing a number of ongoing projects. I love the craft of writing and the possibilities it holds. A magic carpet through the mind. I love pretty much all creative arts, music, film and theatre the leading ones.
Born in Hertfordshire in England, my family Irish, Welsh and English, I currently reside in Edinburgh, in Scotland. I'm drawn to coastal and mountain regions where I like to go to think and draw inspiration from. Ireland is a place that's dear to me, and I try to get back to see family and friends as much as possible.
My interests are wide and broad, too many to mention here, but history, archaeology, criminology, music and film are just some of those things I love.
I hope you enjoy my ramblings on here as that's what they are really. I'll let my fingers do the ''talking...''

OMG!! it broke my heart to see those men on the picture just sitting there and laughing with the dead wolfs.. 😦 so sad..
Yeah it disgusts me. I was shaking a little when I downloaded them pictures. America are really picking up a level recently in their hunting of these beautiful intelligent animals as a lot of states are dropping the protective status of them. They’re making the news more than any other country. There seems to be no rules to how they hunt them either. Anything goes it seems and a lot die in agony. They’re hunted and feared all over the world but some countries leave them be and keep them protected. http://howlingforjustice.wordpress.com/ is a good site for info who I follow as well as other countless sites if you’e interested. Wolves are my favourite animal. I adore them.
This is a beautiful poem. The sadists who cause these animals terrible pain and suffering in traps will receive what they deserve one day. In the meantime we must speak out and work constantly to stop this. Tell everyone you know about the wolf persecution and slaughter throughout the world, but especially in Idaho and now Wyoming. More wolf hunts are planned in the United States-an appalling holocaust.
Thank you for that. I do already over on twitter and facebook. It’s very sad that this goes in in our supposed civilised age but people still fear wolves and I have no idea why they do? It’s all unfounded. Education is and always has been the key to their survival.
