    Great news, a second wolf was spotted in California! At least, they suspect that a blackish canid roaming around Siskiyou County is a wolf, though this needs to be confirmed with genetic data. Anyway, you can read the very exciting news here: https://www.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl#tbm=nws&q=gray+wolves

    I will also be there in spirit and sending all my support for your efforts. With the awareness raised by Cecil the Lion, we have to think of ways to make people aware of the carnage *hunters”, and wildlife managers are doing of wolves, bears, and apex predators here in the U.S.
