  • Episode 8: An Old Anger
    Jul 25 2022

    In this week's episode of Compass Threads Presents: Wolves we're discussing some of the old wolf hunt, and anti wolf tactics that were prominent in the past. We do end on a lighter note, as we discuss Yellowstones reintroduction program which was a positive in the wolf community! It's a great episode if you want to see exactly what your American tax dollars are paying for and why it should matter even if you feel as though you're too far removed.

    Jul 11 2022

Wolves have been dancing the tango with the endangered species list for many years now and it could be detrimental to their survival - or possible extinction if they remain unprotected. And we go into a deep discussion about how complex everything is and that the world of wolves is not black and white in the 21st century.
