Guest guest Posted November 12, 2004 Report Share Posted November 12, 2004 Dear Madam/Sir, I heard that there is a lone North American Timber wolf at Okinawa Zoo and that this wolf is named Kei and is kept in a small and dismal old fashioned concrete enclosure. I believe keeping a wolf in this type of environment is old fashioned and cruel. Japan is a rich, modern and progressive country and I can't understand why the Japanese authorities allow the cruelty to continue of keeping one lone wolf in an outdated concrete enclosure. Apparently there is a wolf sanctuary in Colorado willing to give Kei a home so she can live out her life in an environment much better suited to her needs. Please act quickly to ensure that Kei is released to the wolf sanctuary in Colorado so she can live out her days with dignity and happiness. It would be a kind, humane and compassionate act for the Japanese authorities to allow Kei to be sent to the wolf sanctuary in Colorado. If one of the main reasons for keeping Kei captive in a small concrete enclosure is so the public (including children) can see a live wolf, this is a poor excuse for cruelty. People don't need a live captive animal to look at in these days of high technology. In fact the display of animals in outdated enclosures is an embarrassment to the humans who allow such a display to continue. Okinawa Zoo might like to consider alternatives such as a photo-gallery and interactive videos and sound for the public to enjoy or even a web camera set up in an American sanctuary projected onto a big screen at Okinawa Zoo using the internet instead. It is very old fashioned thinking to believe one needs to keep an animal in a cage so humans can see what it looks like. I hope to receive a positive reply from you by return mail.
