Wildlife Conservation

 

The conservationists divided up these remaining wolves between zoos to ensure that one disaster would not kill them all off. .
             The Red Wolves in Point Defiance refused to breed at first. It took them a year to adapt to being in captivity and become comfortable with their surroundings. When they finally began to mate, a deadly disease broke out called Parvo and killed many of the new pups. Despite the disease, by the 1980's they had successfully bred and were now at a total number of seventy-five wolves, which was considerably high considering their starting number. .
             The conservationists began looking around for places to set the animals free. The first chosen site was an area of one hundred forty-one thousand acres in the Alligator River National Wildlife Refugee in North Carolina. The refuge was not fenced in at the ends so it was possible for the occasional wolf to wander outside of the boundaries. Because of this, they had to get the permission from surrounding neighbors to release these harmless animals. The people agreed after some great consideration. .
             Releasing the wolves would not be an easy task. Since many of them had grown up in captivity, they were accustomed to being taken care of. Therefore, they had to be released gradually. At first, they were placed in a large fenced in area so that they could get used to hunting and taking care of themselves, and still be able to be watched over. The people put collars with a tracking device attached to it so that they could also be surveyed. .
             After the Red Wolves had gotten used to their environment, they were ready to be set completely free. They did well at first but eventually began wandering out of the boundaries and traveling down roads, dangerously close to speeding vehicles. The problem was that the wolves did not have the instincts to be afraid of people or vehicles for that matter. This often put them in great danger.
