The Plight of the Wolves - Defenders of Wildlife

Today, I am posting a link to Defenders of Wildlife regarding the urgent issue now facing wolves in several states. I have been a supporter for this beautiful yet misunderstood animal since I was a young girl. I remember the first time I saw hunters running a wolf down to exhaustion and then shooting it from the air. I do not know now what show or news clip I watched decades ago, however, I felt very badly for the run in to the ground animal. I later learned that this type of hunting was banned. Now, in 2009, legislation is again allowing for wolves to be hunted down in this manner. Many wildlife groups, especially Defenders of Wildlife has championed the wolf's cause to be allowed to live in its natural state here in the U.S. Success was gained in allowing wolves in the Yellowstone area to sustain their family groups. Now, they are being threatened to have parents shot, pups orphaned and fragmenting of existing family groups. I feel it necessary to divert from my entrepreneurial and travel writing articles as tomorrow is the target date for wolf hunting to start in Idaho. Please click on this link to learn more about the plight of the wolves in the United States. General Information About Wolves - Defenders of Wildlife

My interest with writing began by composing poems about nature in my childhood. I also co-wrote a play in my 4th grade class when I lived in New Rochelle, NY. It generated enough positive feedback that my class put on the play in the school auditorium. I was fortunate to have a lead part. After my high school graduation, I entered the working world. For over 30 years I have been steadily gaining writing, editing and digital publishing skills. I began by composing letters and emails to company clients. I contributed to articles written for The Commuters Register based in Windsor, CT. Since 2009, I have added social media, digital publishing and blogging here in Wilkesboro, NC. Since 2010, I write ad copy for the listing descriptions for each of my 3 Internet shops open at Etsy.com. In 2012, I entered a poem about my dog Red in the World Poetry Contest. The poem was chosen for publication. I have written articles for the Winston-Salem Frugal Living Examiner and Hub Pages. In 2012, I acquired The Wilkes Gazette digital newspaper that was renamed the Wilkes County Gazette in 2014. I write under both my own name and my pen name, Jeanne Armonk.
