11,202	6:17 am PST, Jan 15	Mr.	maurizio javarone	Italy	Si potrà un giorno giungere a riconoscere che il numero delle gambe, la villosità della pelle, o la terminazione dell'osso sacro sono motivi egualmente insufficienti per abbandonare un essere sensibile allo stesso fato. Che altro dovrebbe tracciare la linea invalicabile? La facoltà di ragionare o forse quella del linguaggio? Ma un cavallo o un cane adulti sono senza paragone animali più razionali, e più comunicativi, di un bambino di un giorno, o di una settimana, o persino di un mese. Ma anche ammesso che fosse altrimenti, cosa importerebbe? Il problema non è "Possono ragionare?", né "Possono parlare?", ma "Possono soffrire?". Perché dovrebbe la legge negare la sua protezione a un qualsiasi essere sensibile? Verrà il giorno in cui l'umanità accoglierà sotto il suo mantello tutto ciò che respira » (Jeremy Bentham, An Introduction to the Principles of Morals and Legislation. 1789)

On top of that they are amazing, beautiful and strong (though not dangerous if we are careful and do not tease them) animals.

Protect the Wolves of Norway

The Norwegian wolf is being hunted to
extinction. Repeated
government-sanctioned hunts, as well as illegal killings, and other
various interventions of Man have driven the wolf population down to only one
very vulnerable family - only one mated pair suitable for breeding remains as of the
Spring of 2005.

We ask the government of Norway to protect these few remaining wolves and
to allow a viable population to develop within carefully monitored wolf
sanctuaries in Norway’s
national parks. Electronic transmitters
and collars have proven effective in keeping wolves within their allotted range
elsewhere in the world.

Wolves are an essential part of a
balanced natural environment. Studies
show they cull elk/moose and other species to produce stronger and healthier
populations. Wolves also increase plant
biodiversity by limiting the number of animals feeding on vegetation.

The wolf is a symbol of freedom, wisdom,
family, and the fierce individualism that is characteristic of the Norwegian
people. The wolf is not our enemy. We cannot allow the wolves of Norway to be
destroyed.
