Overview
Mission
OUR MISSION IS TO SAVE THE WOLVES. Wolf Mountain Sanctuary is a nonprofit 501c3 volunteer educational organization dedicated to preservation. The wolf is one the most wrongly maligned and hated creatures since time immortal. People envision the wolf as a blood thirsty vicious killer. In reality wolves fit NONE of the popular stereotypes. Their gentle temperament and sophisticated social structuring merit only admiration. A wolf will only resort to preying on domestic stock when its natural prey moose caribou and deer have been eliminated from their natural range. Wolves also serve a great ecological role by preying mostly on the weak and or diseased animals in a herd leaving the younger healthier animals to become breeding stock which ultimately produces much stronger herds. Through education and direct experiences WMS seeks to encouragement proper management of wolves both in the wild and in captivity.
