Our "Live and Let Howl" campaign celebrates the wolf and all that the wolf brings to our humanity through their life and voice. Come and protest the 2014 wolf hunt as a very destructive action toward wolves. Hunting randomly takes the lives of wolves leaving the ones lucky enough to live through a lengthy rifle and trapping season with a stressful existence on many levels that starts with mourning their lost parent, mate or pack. #LiveandLetHowl Invite friends and family. All are welcome. Bring signs! If you can make an extra sign, please bring one to share with someone. Let our governor, state legislators and the DNR know that wolf hunting must end in our state. Enough is enough. Parking and Green Line light rail system stops, click here. Restrooms are located inside the capitol. Be sure to wear your Howling For Wolves' shirts and buttons. Dress warm, this event is OUTSIDE!
