Good News for Lupus

The wolf cub has found a home! A wolf sanctuary in New Mexico has agreed to take Lupus in. Now all we have to do is get him there. Our "contact" has told us if the wolf is renamed "Freedom," we might be able to impose on a US military transport. (I say "we" but I'm not really involved).

Sending Lupus, er, Freedom, to a sanctuary definitely falls into the "worthy cause" category. Scientists estimate the Afghan wolf is nearing extinction. Unable to do real surveys here, they count the number of pelts in the stores to estimate animal populations - fewer pelts mean smaller populations. There are probably less than 1,000 Afghan wolves left.

And anything is better than the Afghan zoo, which is an absolute horror.
