Wolves are so cool. They rock the world. Especially Werewolves!

Just found this site and wanted to let all Wolf lovers know that there are wolves in Ireland! I walk one every day I'm off. Anyone interested can email me at email@example.com and if you'd like to meet him or walk with him we can arrange it. It's great to see such nice comments about wolves, they really are very special. I am constantly asked "what breed of dog is he" and when I say he's a Wolf most people are taken back. When they pet him and see how gentle and caring he is they are stunned. We've all grown up with the stories about the big bad Wolf so it's easy to see where peoples fear of Wolves originates, but they are fairytales. Wolves are not viscious, they do not attack humans, they don't bite or growl for no reason. Wolves are intelligent, caring animals. Their social structures are very similar to humans. In fact Wolves are more like humans when it comes to social structures than apes or chimps are. I can guarantee if you spend some time with them your life will change. We have so much to learn from Wolves, from all animals but sometimes we're too arrogant and stupid. Take care. Adrian

Excellent article. What a pity more people do not take an interest in this wonderful animal. Having only recently being introduced to a real live wolf, yes here in Ireland, i have been converted. For those who haven't had this experience you should make every effort. One sentence in the artile sums up this wonderful animal i.e. Wolves are beautiful, graceful and obviously intelligent. Many thanks to my two new found friend A & F and indeed to the writer of this article for opening my eyes.

I was once told that Ireland had no Wolves. Somehow this rang false with me. Yours is the first source I have found that confirmed my belief that the homeland once possesed the mighty Wolf. I follow a form of Animism, and my Spirit is the Wolf. It pleases me to find yet another link to Eire.

WHY NOT REINTRODUCE WOLVES BACK INTO AREAS OVER-RUN WITH DEER,GOATS AND HARE AND ALSO REINTRODUCE BOAR,CAPPERCAILLE AND REPOPULATE MIDLAND MOUNTAIN RANGES WITH RED DEER COULD USE OUR NATIONAL PARKS THAT HAVE VERY VERY LITTLE WILDLIFE MIGHT BE A GOOD TOURIST ATTRACTION.
comment by mike b is a great idea and would be great for midlands if done properly unfortunatly this is modren ireland where things are done arseways ie port tunnel,m50,electronic voting system,penalty points and all the other things that dont work. offaly has so much history which connects it still to wolves wildboar etc

Have a look at www.betterenergy.ie
Go to sitemap and "wolves in Ireland"
One of the names for wolf is MacTir(son of earth). Most Native Americans revered(some still do) the wolf as a brother, teacher, healer, mother and a deity, as did the Irish(and some still do). Eire lost her wolves, let's not allow to happen anywhere else. Their is an effort under way to open the states of Wyoming and Montana in the US to hunting and poisoning wolves that wonder out of national park bounderies.
Go to www.defenders.org to learn more.

Having just come home from your beautiful country, Ireland, I was looking up whether wolves still lived in Ireland and found this site. In the U.S. I provide a small sanctuary for wolves or wolf dogs who have been "adop
