I was there to fix an outlet the kids had busted and it was my first job. By the time I had got back he was gone.
But alot of the educational staff really don't want to hear the whole story.
I think for some folks, it's the aversion to gore in general that makes them uncomfortable with certain topics more than their advocacy. They are just not comfortable with the thought of any kind of killing, whether it's hunters, predators, or an animal processing plant. They can be one of the most difficult groups to work with that fall under the "environmentalist" umbrella.
My first exposure to the topic of wolves was a book by David Mech. I vividly remember a particular picture where a wolf had fed around the gastrointestinal tract of an animal that was devoured to the point where I was unable to identify it, being very young and all. The wolf's face was stained with blood, gastic juices, and half digested vegetation, which left quite an impression.
The only thing I don't like about bringing captive wolves around to schools is that I think it might blur the line a little too much between what's a wild animal and the pet husky down the street. Maybe if the live visit was preceded by a video of wolves on a hunt, or wolves killing a coyote.........
