Wolves may not speak our language but that does not make their lives and experiences less valuable. Though they are the closest relatives of “man’s best friend”, our laws and policies have largely neglected — or worse — maligned them.

Wolves are not nearly afforded the same legal protections as their dog relatives and are even targeted by government-sanctioned culls when it is convenient to the powers (and extractive industries) that be.

And this is all despite wolves being absolutely ESSENTIAL to healthy ecosystems!

Clearly our relationship with wolves has gone astray, and at the cost of healthy ecosystems and the welfare of the wolves themselves.

Join me today in Victoria at 5:30 PM to walk for wolves and show BC decision makers that we demand better for these essential and wonderful creatures. Details are in the link in my bio!

I was awed coming across this orca family hunting a seal… you can see the smaller calf bringing up the rear! Calves learn to hunt through joining and watching their mothers and pod members, who will sometimes catch and release the hunted prey so the calf can practice the hunting technique themself.

Orcas are one of the most intelligent species on the planet and there is so much scientists don’t yet know about their intelligence and customs.

Orcas play a vital role in marine ecosystems and their health is directly tied to that of the oceans. Protecting orcas protects all of the species around them.

Artists continue to create art in honour of Takaya! His is truly AN ENDURING LEGACY. 🐺

Jolene Hassard Jolene Hassard shared this beautiful piece and statement with me:

“I was introduced to Takaya and his story in 2020 by wildlife photographer and good friend of mine, Tilaï Ellis-Stairs, who was living in Victoria at the time of Takaya’s living on the islands. We were backpacking on an island off the BC coast at the time and we had a couple of wonderful encounters with sea wolves on the trip; at the time a rarity, as they are generally quite elusive on the west coast of Canada. Hearing how this beautiful animal battled the poor odds of surviving alone and carved out a life for himself was so incredible and seeing Cheryl’s images of his time on the islands really drove the point home. Hearing how he was killed was both heartbreaking and shocking – learning how easy (and legal) it is to kill wolves on the Island was a major eye opener and I know Takaya’s story has drawn so much attention to the plight of wolves in BC. I saw Cheryl’s image of Takaya at dawn and knew it would be a perfect image for me to paint as a tribute to this beautiful animal and Cheryl’s extraordinary bond with him.”

On behalf of Takaya’s Legacy, I have signed an open letter demanding an end to the province’s cruel, needless wolf cull. Over 80 other organizations have signed on, including Pacific Wild Pacific Wild and Exposed Wildlife Conservancy EXPOSED Wildlife Conservancy who have both been fighting against this horrible cull for years. These organizations are experts in conservation and lead with scientific evidence, concern for ecosystems, and empathy for living beings. Yet somehow, this is not enough for BC’s decision makers.

Enough is enough. Please join me in adding your voice here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd98pqkc2FmsbjOEVVkCT09q6WaHpw5xh92YNntSSdTLceqtg/viewform

Today is both the summer solstice and World Giraffe Day! ☀️

Wishing everyone a lovely solstice as we celebrate the longest day of the year and the power of light. Light brings life to our planet, and all of this life plays a part in the heath and beauty of our shared home. May we respect all creatures big and small, short and tall! 🦒
