This was a sad program, but it shows that wolves can be important to the earth. Why else would it exist if it were harmful? I’m a wolf-lover, so I say this was one of the best episode of Nature yet! Thanks!
I would like to buy the dvd
I was especially happy to see this program. My wife & I had just traveled through northern New Mexico this last summer and noticed the scenery that was depicted. I’ve forwarded your comic book story to her in hopes that she will share it with her 5th grade students. Thanks!
One aspect of this program bothered me. They covered up the real way Seton and his men killed Lobo’s mate. Seton didn’t just shoot her at point blank range as the Nature episode would suggest — according to the record, he and his friends lassoed her and pulled her in opposite directions until her body ripped apart. Although this woud be horrible to show in any documentary (and would be probably be easier to simply mention offscreen), I feel it’s imortant to highlight the unbeleivably cruel and inhumane way wolves were killed by humans back then. It wasn’t just a case of economics — there was a really insane and irrational hatred that enabled seemingly “normal” people to do unspeakably brutal things. Mentioning this incident may make people see Seton in a much different light, as well as the whole campaign to exterminate wolves in the lower 48 states.
wow, this was a great doc. . Please send me the phone # which was given after the show as i would like to order the D.v.d. Thank you for such great t.v.
Can you buy a book about this?? This was a wonderful show..
This was an eye opener. I have always loved the wolf and what thay have stood for. This doc. just sulitifies my beliefs in this beautiful animal. If possible I would like the DVD of this documentary. I would appreciate a phone number or e-mail address. Thanks.
Very educational for us all. We all have a right to exist, animal or man! It is ashame that with some of the lesson’s we all must learn come with such a high cost. I am sure Mr. Seton felt the same!
Quality Show. Thanks for putting it together!! I found Seton’s story very compelling.
Many of Seton’s writings are still in print. Get “Wild Animals I Have Know” for Seton’s story “Lobo: King of the Currapaw”. Also, Lobo’s hide is on display at the Philmont Museum and Seton Library at the BSA’s Phimont Scout Ranch in New Mexico.
Halo my name is Shane Mc Sweeney im from ireland and just seen the story of lobo and it was the best story i ever herd it was just a beautiful story thank you for putting it together
A new generation needed to see and hear the story that began the environmental movement for all of America. Thank you for your hard work and perseverance to make it possible.
Wonderful, thank you for this important story. Sadly, these amazing animals are still being killed and trapped in the Southwest and there are only about 50 left in the wild right now. People who want to help restore lobos can go to http://www.mexicanwolves.org and get involved.
