Received word that
Wolf Timbers is considered exempt from the requirements of the new
"Wild and Dangerous" animals legislation recently passed
in Ohio. The reason for this is that we are currently in the middle
of obtaining accreditation/verification from the Global Federation
of Animal Sanctuaries. This news has motivated us to do what is
necessary to obtain this accreditation/verification. We are currently
working on a number of submissions to the GFAS which when completed,
will result in an inspection from the GFAS. This is the final point
in either being accredited/verified or turned down. Failure here
is not an option. It is our desire, for no other reason than for
Nira, Keeley and Ingo, that Wolf Timbers shall obtain this level
of accreditation/verification. We shall keep you posted.

Our
request for an "Educational Permit" through the Ohio Department
of Natural Resources was denied because the Ohio DNR does not regulate
wolves as part of their regulatory animals. There was no other reason
for the denial of our permit. |

Applied
for an "education" permit through the Ohio Department of
Natural Resources. Also, Submitted the registration form to the Ohio
Department of Agriculture as part of the new legislation on "Dangerous
and wild animals." |
