North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper is seeking assistance in protecting and rehabilitating the last remaining red wolves after it was discovered that there were only 14 known red wolves left in the wild. This comes after there were no red wolf pups born in 2019 for the first time in the history of the red wolf reintroduction program, alarming the Governor and inspiring him to reach out, demanding assistance in protecting these beautiful animals before they ultimately end up extinct.

Red wolves once occupied a large portion of the eastern US but were trapped, hunted, and suffered immense habitat loss through the years pushing them closer and closer to extinction. The wolves were then reintroduced in North Carolina in 1987 occupying space in 5 North Carolina counties. Changes in management strategies over the years have allowed for the wolves once again to begin dwindling in numbers while the federal government continues to push aside the issue. In fact, proven wolf rehabilitation strategies such have been ignored despite their successes in the past. This blatant disregard for red wolves is now putting them in grave, immediate danger of going extinct if more is not done to help them.

Sadly, animals simply don't ignite the same sense of urgency in decision making that they require, especially when it comes to the possibility of extinction. Too often we witness animals nearly going extinct before any government actually takes the time to make them a priority. This sort of lax attitude towards animal conservation is exactly why we are witnessing hundreds of thousands of animals heading towards extinction. We can't take months or years to decide how we're going to help a species from going extinct when they are already so close to that outcome. It's absolutely sickening to me that animals suffer so tremendously at the expense of humans and then humans take their sweet ass time coming up with a fu<king solution to save them. I cannot say this enough but humans are by far, the biggest pestilence on this planet and we continue to take and take without regard while animals suffer. It's not just red wolves either, giraffes, rhinos, elephants, sharks etc., these creatures are facing immediate danger of going extinct in the wild and yet trophy hunting continues, over fishing continues, sport hunting continues; we are destroying everything in our path and we are inching towards it being too late to stop this mass extinction.

The Fish & Wildlife Services issued a statement claiming to be bringing on scientists to in 2020 to come up with an adequate recovery plan but this leaves too many questions as to when things will be done. As mentioned earlier in the article, there are only about a dozen red wolves left in the wild throughout North Carolina, we need exact dates when things will be done. We need a realistic timeframe that the government can be held accountable to, not an open ended commitment.

Red Wolves are in serious danger and it's incredibly important that something is done NOW! I will update you guys with more information as it becomes available. Read the full story from NBC News through the link at the top of this post!
