Wolf Conservation Efforts

Hiya! I’m just posting a preview of my book “The Haunted One” It contains chapters 1-3! I will discuss more about the book in a wolf talk! Thanks!

The 

Haunted

One

~A Journey the Find Control~

Piper Anthony

Chapter One (Or Prologue)

So.. about Willow…. The Haunted One….

Willow is a young female wolf who was a part of the Eclipse Pack in Slough Creek. 

She has this spirit that has been tormenting her in her mind who claims to be Willow’s cousin who is also named Willow. Her pack thought she was crazy. 

The living Willow consulted with her aunt Nova and that was when she learned about her lost cousin, Nova’s lost daughter. 

In hopes to regain control of herself, Willow left Slough Creek and unknownst to herself ended up in Lost River with the spirit still tormenting her. 

The live Willow hopes to be rid of her dead cousin who now is christened ‘the burden’ by Willow (she never says ‘the burden’ when she’s talking to her spirit but calls her ‘cousin’), and to never have a spirit and anybody for that matter control her choices, and her life… again. 

Chapter Two

Willow’s Dream 

Willow found herself in a meadow with a sky quilted with stars. 

“This must be the spirit realm!” Willow exclaimed in awe. 

Just then a wolf’s shape comes into view,it is smaller, the size of a juvenile pup, but by the scent Willow knows it’s her cousin, ‘the burden.’

“Ah! Cousin!” the dead Willow speaks.

Willow makes no move towards her. “Why should I trust her?!” she thought.

“How did you get into my mind, spirit body and all?” Willow asked.

The dead Willow chuckled as if it was a joke. “Oh no! I still reside in the spirit realm, but my voice has a way of speaking to you through your mind, one that no one else could hear, that’s why no one believed you, well Nova I guess,” the spirit replies, only answering the first part of Willow’s question. 

“You answered only the first part of my question!” Willow growled.

“When I died, I still wanted to make my mark on the world and the other pups’ minds were impossible to enter, they were.. Private but I could easily enter yours!” the spirit Willow said. 

“So basically your idea of ‘making your mark’ is tormenting me into doing what you want?!” Willow growled.

“You’re missing the point!” the spirit groaned. “I came to help you!”

“Yeah well you aren’t! GO AWAY!!!” Willow barked.

‘‘Good luck with that. Because I will ALWAYS be part of  you, ALWAYS!!” the dead Willow glared at the living Willow.

Willow watched the spirit walk away and saw the stars around her fade.

***************************************

Willow woke up not knowing if what had happened was a dream. But the spirit’s voice rang in her ears, “I will always be a part of you, ALWAYS!”

Chapter 3

The Graveyard Ritual

Willow continued down the rocky slope towards the town. She was taught by her father, Teau, that when he lived there, there was a graveyard. Her aunt Nova (as superstitious as she was) taught Willow a ritual that would help regain control of yourself and to be rid of any spirits that were haunting you. 

*************************************************

Willow stood over the ledge that overlooked the cemetery. She decided to look at each tombstone to find which ones that died as an infant or a young kid, because the dead Willow was only six months old when she died.

Once Willow found the tombstones of kids, which were located at the back of the cemetery, she howled three times. Willow vaguely remembered the poem that Nova taught her.

“Skaarsgard, wolf of the  stars, I have been feeling a spirit in my mind. I ask of you, to please at least give me some control back? Thank you.”

Now Willow had to sit vigil all night in front of her tombstone. 

******************************************************

Willow traveled away from the Graveyard, relaxed and exhausted. 

“Hopefully I’ll have more control over my mind.”

Well, hello! Welcome to another blog (first one since about a month) post. But this post is a good one for the Mollies wolf pack is back in YNP!!

So, if you don’t know, the Mollies wolf pack left YNP raising concerns for their welfare. An outfitter in Nevada, vowed he’d kill 1090F as soon as the hunting season opened up on Sept. 15! But the Mollies pack found their way back into YNP on their own. This is a very good thing! The Mollies pack is the last remaining pack created by the original reintroduced wolves from 1995. Yellowstone wolf watchers are often trying to find her and her pack.

This is a VERY short post I just wanted to share the good news! I will post a new wolf talk on Saturday regarding Colorado wolf drama, California wolf drama, I’m also going to try and further deepen Trump’s order to see if wolves met criteria of delisting, lastly, I’m going to talk about the books I’m writing/ planning soo yeah!

Thank you for reading this post! have a great WEEKEND!! AWOOOooooOOOOO!!!!

Hello everyone and today I would like to report a few good things happening in the wolf universe and the universe of my blog in general!

First of all, some of the Mollies wolves have made it back into YNP, they didn’t specify if 1090F was among them but hopefully she is because they are in serious danger!! If you don’t know, a hunter in Nevada has vowed to kill 1090F as soon as the hunting season opens on Sept. 15. It is such good news that most of them are in the park and hopefully the rest of the Molles join them soon!

Secondly, IT”S BEEN A YEAR SINCE I STARTED MY BLOG!!!!!!!!!!! I could not have done this without your support and thank you for helping me get this far!!!! I love y’all like I would my family and I truly consider y’all a part of my pack!!! THANK YOU

THANKS SO MUCH FOR READING AND SUPPORTING MY BLOGG!!!!!!

AWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

P.s mother nature at her best whilst I was in Helen GA!!!

Unfortunately I could not get the vid. posted on here but here is a summary.

Trump on Labor day made an executive order to delist the gray wolf. The ESA has 90 days to make an decision if the wolf met the delisting criteria. In the vid. that I tried to post on here he asked if the ranchers in the room had a ‘problem’ with the grey wolf. Since I couldn’t post the vid., go and watch it! Search: “Trump order to delist grey wolf”

This post was just supposed to be a vid. but I gave a little summary on the vid. but go and watch it right now!! Thank you for reading this post! Sorry I’ve been MIA lately! But I will post a wolf talk this weekend!!! 🙂

AWOOOOOOOOOOOOoo!

Hello! Hello! I know I haven’t posted in while and for which I’m sorry. I just started middle school a few days after I got back from Oregon, so I never really found the time. Now that I have started school again this means I will try and post on the weekends, and my wolf talk schedule will now be every other week. Anyways, CPW just released the cause of death of wolf 2504F who died in January.

In January a ‘coyote hunter’ was out hunting coyotes when he thought he saw one. Excited he pulled the trigger and found that it was a wolf wearing a bright orange radio collar, there is a law that says you must know what you’re shooting before you pull the trigger. The man reported to CPW and cooperated during the investigation; he received a small fine for the killing of the wolf, but CPW is pressing no further charges.

You cannot mistake a wolf for a coyote for the difference between them is quite easy to spot. A wolf has a rounder snout and rounded ears and is a lot bigger than a coyote. Furthermore, coyotes are smaller, and they have pointy ears and snouts.

This is very unfortunate for Colorado’s wolf recovery.

Thank you for reading this post have a great weekend!! AROOOOOOOOOOOOO

Hello! Hello! I’m sorry for the delay in my weekly posts, but my schedule has been pretty hectic lately I just haven’t found time! As for the delay, I am going to be posting 1 blog posts today and a wolf talk video and a post to make up for the delay! 😊⭐(●’◡’●) I’m also going to do another one tomorrow!

“The Trump Administration finalized a rule on Friday that removes nearly all habitat protections for endangered species.”

This opens up their habitats to logging, mining, oil and gas drilling and other destruction.

“Habitat destruction is the number one threat to endangered species and Trump’s decision is a death sentence for America’s wildlife. it will have imperiled species at an even greater risk of going extinct.”

This is not only a threat to endangered species, but to non-threatening species as well. Take for example, the Arctic wolf. Already facing climate change and mining, with this increase, Arctic wolves are at greater risk of going extinct.

Since the Trump Administration has finalized this rule, he has basically removed habitat destruction from the definition of harm.

“You cannot protect wildlife while allowing destruction of the very places that keep them alive. Conservation without habitat protection is conservation in name only.” stated Team Wolf.

Congress is already advancing multiple efforts to further weaken the ESA. Now more than ever, we need people willing to speak up for wildlife.

Thank you for reading this post have a good day/ night guys! AWOOOOOOOOOO

P.s The wolf talk videos I’ve started on Jan. 1,2026 I will do one tomorrow covering this and another subject! Thank you!!!

Hello! Hello! This post is a very unfortunate one with the lethal removal of the lone Copper Creek wolf pup named “Freedom’.

“Freedom survived so much.”

After he was separated from his pack while they were being captured and relocated to a different area of Colorado as a months old pup, ‘Freedom continued to navigate a landscape filled with challenges.” He was responisble for 22 livestock depredations. CPW tried every nonlethal trick in the book and yet he still outsmarted them. CPW tried shooting him, but he survived that and continued in his search for a pack of his own.

On June 12th,2026, CPW lethally removed Freedom.

“No matter where you stand on this decision, it’s difficult not to feel disappointed. Freedom’s story was one of resilience and survival against incredible odds. For many, he became a symbol of Colorado’s returning wolves.”

“Today, that story has come to an end.”

Freedom was given his name for his resilience. He was separated from his pack at 6 months old, survived, developed a taste for cattle, outsmarted CPW multiple times, and was lethally removed.

Thank you for reading this post! Have a great day/night! AWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Freedom as lone pup.

Hello! Hello! Today’s topic is going to be about how the wolves of Chernobyl have a resistance to cancer!

In April of 1986, was when the Chernobyl disaster took place, forcing hundreds of thousands of people to abandon their homes. When the humans left, the wildlife started to repopulate Chernobyl. Dogs that were left behind by their owners also inhabit Chernobyl.

The wolves were exposed to radioactive waste and developed a higher cancer resistance than other populations. Blood testing of the wolves showed that their genome was diverging than in other populations.

It was likely that the wolves’ radioactive exposure led to their resistance to cancer.

Wolves living in Chernobyl don’t have actual immunity to cancer, it’s just when they get it, cancer seems to do less damage than the wolves outside of Chernobyl.

The wolves were exposed to doses of radiation that humans could not handle.

The wolves of Chernobyl are now six times larger population than in 1986.

Thank you for reading this post have a great day!! AWOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Hello! Hello! I know I haven’t posted in while, I’ve just been busier than normal since I was finishing 5th grade and all lol. Today’s topic is a pretty unfortunate one and I’m very annoyed about this whole Cyanide bomb thing.

When you read the title, you might’ve guessed that this post is about the now legal use of Cyanide bombs. This allows the people to manage predatory animals using a cyanide ‘bomb.” When triggered the cyanide bomb will release very toxic pesticides into the animals (or person’s unfortunately) mouth. In 2023, the Biden Administration banned the use of Cyanide bombs (aka M-44 machines) because of the danger it has on pets, people, wildlife and livestock.

There is a tragic incident involving a cyanide bomb. A 14 year old boy and his dog were walking on their land. The boy stepped on a trigger for a cyanide bomb. The boy survived, but his beloved dog was killed right in front of his eyes.

Cyanide bombs are dangerous to anybody who steps on the trigger. The Trump Administration allows these cyanide bombs to kill off predatory animals on public lands.

This is not a post I enjoyed writing but it is important to inform you all about this.

Thank you for reading this post! Have a great day!!! Thank you for all of your continued support!! AWOOOOOOOOOOOO

There is just a few days left to sign Team Wolf’s letter! This letter goes to USFWS asking for coexistence for Colorado’s wolves!

“As USFWS reviews wolf management in Colorado, our comment urges stronger reporting, real accountability, and clear commitment to use nonlethal coexistence-not lethal control under the guise of management.”

“It takes less than a minute to add your name.”

“…sign on now at TeamWolf.org.”

Thank you for reading this post, have a great day and to all the mother wolves out there, Happy Mother’s Day!! AWOOOOOOOOO!!!

Hello!! Hello!! I’m hoping you guys had an amazing Easter and Spring Break trips!!! 😊 Sorry I haven’t posted much lately… I’ve just been really busy. I was going to post a few things 2 weeks ago, but I just forgot. Then just today I found out we have had another victory so I just decided to add this post along with the other ones I was planning to do 2 weeks ago!! 🤣🤣

“After a wave of public pressure, Republicans pulled next week’s vote on H.R 1897- a dangerous bill designed to gut the Endangered Species Act (ESA) and make it harder to defend endangered wildlife from political attacks.”

This victory is small and really only happened because people decided to speak up.

“Make no mistake: this is only a delay and not a full win. H.R 1897 is still alive and on the House calendar meaning it will likely return for a vote this session.”

Thank you so much for support on my blog!! This would’ve never happened without encouragement from people like you!!

AwOOOOooooOOOOooOO!!!

An act that’s being repeated. Wolves once a conservation success story, are being attacked…. AGAIN. Politics driven by myth are causing fear, and that fear is turning into anger. Misinformation had shaped what people think of wolves.

🐺 Mexican gray wolves are one of the most endangered. “Numbering over just 300 and descending from just 7 wolves.” Permits are being handed out by ranchers to shoot them.

🐺 “Northern Rockies- protections have been stripped in parts of Montana, Idaho, and Wyoming.” (Outside of Yellowstone). These trapping and poaching laws are “undoing decades of wolf recovery,” and pushing their populations back down.

🐺 Now Congress is trying to strip protections entirely even in states where there aren’t any wolves or where there’s few.

This has happened before, in the early-mid 1900s. We need to stop this NOW!! Wolves aren’t the villains history has shaped them to be. They put ecosystems in balance, without them, we’ll see what’ll happen to the ecosystems that hasn’t been seen in almost a century. (aka last shooting of a Yellowstone wolf as in 1926)

I know this topic is grim, and I don’t want to write about these things. But we need to spread the word in save wolves!!!

Thank you for reading this post and so much support!! Happy Easter!!

awoooOOOOOOOoooOOOOOOO!!!
