Wow I’m just blown away with this amazing experience. How beautiful and terrifying at the same time I’ve never seen anything like this in my life. You are such a wonderful person and obviously they knew that you were a great woman.
My favorite animal is the wolf, always has been, even as a child. I was mesmerized by them, and felt such a connection. Ive had dogs all my life, with exception of a few years. I now have a 15 month old Siberian Husky. ( The closes breed to resemble in appearance a wolf-like.) She has fulfilled my dream of having a Husky which I've always wanted. Thank you Anneka, to the conservation approach you make on the world. It's truly sad that a country so vast has such limited wolf population 😢😢😢. Something should be done. Its not fair to those majestic animals. After all, they were there first. Humans need to realize that this planet is not theirs to destroy with so much greed. Continue your ground- breaking conservation.❤
me too, I like horses that lick my scalp and reach into my neurological connections in my armpits. Wolves have always been integral to my life changes and I can't wait to see what's in store with my adopted group of antelope rabbits.
This made me feel sad, angry but filled my heart with joy all at the same time… sad and angry because of the way Norway, and unfortunately like my home country Switzerland have little to no consideration for these beautiful creatures… joy to see your interaction with this pack and the passion and devotion you are showing (here and in general)… thank you so much for all your good work! Admiration, gratitude and ❤ from Switzerland.
@@Tethysmeer yes Switzerland is a lot smaller than Norway and has a population of around 150 wolves (only). The swiss people voted for a law that would better protect the wolves but the law is very often circumvented by the local authorities.
Most wolves that are in Norway actually come from Russia. And sadly, most of them have been gene manipulated. Where I'm from in Norway, we have wild wolves still, but, they are getting too intrusive on neighborhoods so they sadly get dealt with unless they move on.
@@bongzilla4172 Gene manipulated - like artificially? I think you wanted to say that the local wolves interbred with the ones from Russia, therefore they aren't pure Norwegian wolves anymore. Which is good thing because they are otherwise inbred.
@@sendmorerum8241 Native Norwegian wolves don't exist, The Scandinavian wolves we have are a finno-russian breed that have separated from their original families in their native habitats. I know nothing about anyone doing any genetic to wolves, sounds like a conspiracy theory. But the real question is would diary farming be a better option for Norway? is it better to have livestock live happy and healthy in the habitat? is it better for the food products we eat?
Canines are one of the few, if not only, animals that actually likes human beings and we sadly treat them just as we do our fellow man, with disdain and fear. Beautiful animals. Humans not so much. Thanks for the lovely video.
Well if you run into a wild pack of wolves or a hostile dog....a person has a right to be afraid....& dont think for a second that a pack of wolves with pups are gonna be ok with you being there. They wont be....even if theyve never seen a human before. PS: you must surround yourself with some pretty bad ppl if they treat everybody they meet with disdain. Thats your fault. Pick better friends 🤷
It is so beautiful, intelligent, and so important to the environment. Wolves, like so many species of wildlife, are persecute for no true reason. Just because humans see them as a threat of course humans' greed and domesticated livestock. How humans treat those "livestock" is awful. Thank you Anneka for all you do 🙏♥❤
It's pretty provoking with this British blonde that talk as if Norwegians are hostile to wildlife, and being critical about why we don't have more wolves. I don't see any wolves anywhere in Britain? The problem is that people like me, that live in cities, probably have a very romantic view about wolves and how wolves should just be given freedom to spread wherever, and think it's ecologically healthy for the wilderness areas for big predators to live there. While for farmers, that have to be confronted with dozens of sheep teared to shreds, the situation probably don't have the same romantic idealism. In Norway both cows and sheep are roaming freely in many areas up in the mountains, while the grass are being grown and collected lower down in the valley's. This is probably a reason why we have such a high quality, ecological and trustworthy meat-products, with no problems as in other countries, where the animals have to be stuffed into factory farms and eat unnatural feed and are full of sickness and pumped full of antibiotics to survive. I can't think of a single person who would think of it as an unhealthy thing to watch the Norwegian lambs when they finally are let out of the barn, after the winter is over, and they smell fresh grass and are allowed to roam free for the first time, literally jump around in circles from happiness. So city-people like myself will say: Well, why don't those (damn) farmers hire 24/7 shepherds to guard the flock, without thinking that this will be likely to put such a cost on the traditional animal husbandry here, that it will start to look less what it have done for the last thousands of years, and more like what is happening in places like the UK and even worse: The USA. And even if the farmers actually do guard their flocks, it's a big story with strong feelings every time the news tell about the "bad farmers" having shot another "noble wolf", that was planning to go from sheep to sheep and rip them to shreds, since the sheep have been used to non-wolf life for so long that they have no fear and don't run away, making the wolf go into frenzy. Also in the North, where it is suggested that there's merely huge areas of totally empty wilderness, theirs flock upon flock of thousands of reindeer, and the native Sami-people of the north, have been living with their flocks for not only hundreds or a thousands or two, but tens of thousands of years, where they had ALL their needs covered by the reindeer. However the flocks are roaming free, as the sheep and cows are, and the Sami no longer live in Lavvo's, moving around with their flocks, like just some very few peoples still do in the far north of Russia east to Siberia. So what is the most natural thing, to reintroduce wolves into our wild, to make a more natural situation, and end up with factory-farms, because no small farmers (that don't exist in places like USA anymore), will be able to compete with such a development? Will that make things better? I really doubt it. And I think the farmers maybe have some valid arguments, despite how wonderful it would be with dreaming of making Scandinavia into a new Serengeti, with only room for wilderness. The harsh truth is that we here in Norway have an already very small ability to be self-sustainable, and if we become less so, and start importing more food, this will just mean that wilderness in other places of the world are cut down to produce high yield crops like soy and corn. I think the mix we have now, with a lot of wilderness, and the same time a very healthy agricultural sector, where we can feel sure that what we buy in the stores are not meat or milk from animals that have been tortured to death in similar situations as abroad.
Fantastic video and wonderful landscapes! Anneka thank you very much for sharing this beautiful video and for all very interesting news about this wonderful pack of wolves. Beautiful moment when you howl with the wolves! Very compliments! 👍👍👍🔥😍🐺
❤❤❤❤Wolves have always been my fave wild animal since I was a kid. They are majestically, beautiful animals, and should not be "condemned." With that span of desolated wilderness, more wolves should exist. Thank you, Anneka, for what you do. I envy you. I would love to pet a wolf. You are so fortunate to have this relatuinship wirh them. Killing them is senseless and man has no right to do so. I only pray things will change, but first, man's way of thinking. Man has no right to take any life.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Its not better in Sweden. They planning on culling half the population. We have like 450. To be realistic we could have over a thousand too, but the goverment have decident that no wolves are allowed in the sapmi's reindeer herding area (wich is the northen half of the country).
As a Norwegian I can tell you that you actually need to live here in order to fully understand the situation. As a foreigner and outsider it’s easy to watch this and claim that there’s enough land and space. Norway is a tiny country with 5 million people. The majority are farmers, and fishermen the rest live in urban areas. The wolf is an extremely polarizing topic here as the party of agriculture and farmers in general, most of who loose livestock to predators (wolves, wolverines, bears, lynx, eagles) each year, wants them completely gone and extinct… on the opposite end you have those who are not farmers who wants the wolves and predators in general to exist. Pet dogs also kill wild life and livestock as well as owners doesn’t follow the law and have them on a leach. We don’t have much “wilderness”, and the little we do have always boarders to urban areas or farming communities… the safety of humans and livestock always come 1st. Sad, but that’s reality.
@@kilipaki87oritahiti Here in the states the government compensates ranchers for the livestock lost to predators. It is an easy solution, but most ranchers just want a sterile environment where they can reap the most profit with the least amount of problems. They care nothing about the planet or the ecosystem.
@@kilipaki87oritahiti As a Swede with a similar situation and a similarly idiotic debate, I call bullshit. Firstly, wolfs pose no danger to humans. And secondly, the fact that we as humans choose to bring up livestock and are unable to accept that we do not have any superceding rights over any other animals to be in a certain place with circumstances of our own choosing is frankly pathetic and shameful. Obviously there is plenty of space to have wolfes and other predators roam free. The only obstacle are the selfish interests of humans.
Did not know that Norway was so against wolves. I am from Alaska, and as noted by another from Canada, ours are not caged or hunted either. Loved hearing the howling on a dark, cold winter night or when they ran with me while I skied a frozen river. Surprised Norway has not studied the success of wolf re-introduction into Yellowstone National Park, and the benefits to Elk herds and the ecosystem.
I live in Wyoming, USA and we did a very similar thing to our wolves at the behest of ranchers. Turned out to be a terrible idea! Even with increased hunting caps the deer population went nuts. Because of that, wolves are necessary for the health of plant diversity, a thing not often considered.
Here in NY state, our county just released wolves into our population to take the deer and coyotes down. The deer population has decreased some, but so has the chipmunks and ground hogs
13:31 @GermanShepherdVlogDaphne I am so happy to hear this about NY. I am originally from upstate (Chemung County) but have lived in AZ longer now. I read about the overpopulation of deer and all the car related accidents due to them. I responded to the writer of the article( a professor at Cornell University) and suggested wolves be introduced instead of what they were considering ( sterilization which was going to be so expensive) The response I got was that prey is more affected by food supply than carnivores. Basically he was doubtful wolves could get the job done. I say bring back the wolves. It has to help more than if they weren't there and if they are contributing to decreasing the deer then maybe the public will see them as helpful and change the attitude toward wolves to a positive one.
Here in Sweden it is sort of a similar problem, the fact that culling so few every year and that the peoples in the far Northern territories hate them just baffles me. In Scandinavia we need to do more to stand up for the wolf. The wolf keeps the Forest in balance, we have far too many deer and Moose even in the outskirts of Stockholm....Wolves have been sighted in these regions too. Where there is food the wolves will follow.....I hope we can save them for the future.
There is more to the pack dynamics than I had thought, although they are much like lions in this way. I'm afraid I don't understand the culling when there is so much land. It would seem the pack, unfortunately, takes care of the culling. You are doing such needed work for these animals and your bond to the wolves is amazing. How lucky you are!💚

@Gille87 I totally understand where you're coming from. I think I posted with emotion rather than thinking it out. And that's on me. Thank you for the information. It will help me understand these types of situations better in the future. Sometimes, there is just not a good solution for everyone involved. 😔
@@rescuelover7891 Especially if its only 5 million people in that NOT small country (UK is smaller than Norway and has 68 million people), they should tolerate some wolves in the Nordland and up, where there are no farms (unless you farm lichens and lemmings). Only 3% of Norway is a farmland and if they still worry, modern high-tech defense equipment like fences and guard dogs exist. I also looked up how much wilderness they have - areas more than 5 km away from roads, railways and any man-made installations - and it's surprisingly large.
@@rescuelover7891 As another Norwegian, much of the information he gives is wrong. The majority are not farmers and fishermen, much like every other Western country, the majority lives in cities. Also, Norway is not tiny, we are relatively large geographically, with a small population that is widely spread out. Farmers losing livestock to predators is also a very overestimated. We have very few predators left in Norway, so naturally very few livestock will be killed by predators. The absolute majority of farm animals lost, are lost by falling off cliffs and mountains. The farmers also get compensated by the state when they lose animals, and (this is controversial) will often report animals lost by falls as animals killed by predators, upping the very small statistic of predator kills even more. Predators aren't really a big problem in Norway, but it's one if our biggest debates.
thanks a lot for those absolutely beautiful wolf howl vids of yours. sad to hear though, that norway is apparently not the nature-loving country i imagined it to be. will keep the polar park in mind, hope to visit it one day.
Thank you for sharing this wonderful video ❤. I'm afraid here in the US, after we had just reintroduced wolves to Yellowstone Park, the ranchers are already crying. This is public land, it does not belong to the ranchers. We have barely any Mountain Lions left in the wild again due to millionaire ranchers who obtain permits to graze their cattle on public lands. Now they are attempting to get rid of all our Wild Horses! The cattle and sheep pull the forage out by its roots, it doesn't grow back, whereas the horses do not rip it up by the roots, and they reseed the land with their manure. Again unlike the cattle which have many stomachs, there are no seeds left. The beef industry is 40% or more owned by China, who, surprise, surprise are the biggest consumers of our dissapearing Wild Horses and Burros.
I believe if Apex predators and not millionaire ranchers were allowed back into our billions of acres of National Parks then what the government run BLM who lie about the numbers of wild horses and knowingly sell to kill buyers would not have to worry about what they believe are too many Wild Horses and Burros. It's so hard to save any of these majestic animals when you have to fight with millionaires, billionaires, the Chinese and Japanese governments who depend on the USA to supply them with horse meat. God knows why the Chinese only want the pelts of Burro's so that they scape whatever is inside the skin and do only God and they know what with that product. I fear the worst, what will they go after next? The Elk? Deer? Until there are nothing but cattle left in our Public Parks and miners digging everything they can use up. I believe mans' time has come. We are killing the planet. Unless you listen to kooks like career criminal trump. He tells people climate change is fake news.
this moment where the wolves are drawn to Anneka presents their nature and are such magnificent beautiful animals..powerful and intelligent...nice to watch them....👍
Yes I too would love to live with the wolves🐺 . I used to have a very high content Wolfdog she was a great girl she lived 15 years and eight months and had her since 6 weeks old. We had a great Bond she was the best loving and caring animal. She was gentle enough to even take food from your mouth. She passed December 22nd 2022 I miss her dearly
@@jeffreyhusack2400 oh wow! Well she gave you some of the best years of you life and you her, so very lucky, you must miss her, ☹️ I lost my dog a month ago, I’m not coping very well without her 😢
@@Ilovegod494 sorry to hear. Hard to believe how attached we get to them ❤.I wrote down on paper a life history of my dog , like she was telling me her life , from beginning to end. Her name was Lakota & I called it Lakota's Life
if I could stay among the wolves like you did in this video and they start howling with me I would start crying...that could be the happiest moment of my life
Beautiful relations with such a predators like woolfs. And the wooooaauuuuuu sounds like song !dziękuję ! Lets hope Norway will prorect & save wel this natural haritage for the next generations. 🐺♥️
I can understand the point of view of the farmers; but we should remember Norway was first the home of the wolves before man showed up. Norway can adopt US management methods and as long as the farmers protect their flocks, the government would reimburse the farmers for their losses. Norway is a rich country and can afford this. In US, we have also notice when the wolves were brought back we see huge benefits in terms of wildlife management (like Elks, Deer...) and how the land in many areas recovered since they were not overgrazed by the herbivores...
What a shame of Norway , the wolves are such majestic beautiful animals.. it makes me so sad to hear this of Norway's government! God bless you Anne n your blue wolf! Amen. love all your videos and I follow on fb as well..

It’s so sad that they kill off these animals I wish I could put them in my backyard. I also am very jealous of you and your relationship with those wolves That is so cool. I had a 200 pound malamute he was a great dog came. I now have a 75 pound husky malamute saber. He’s a great dog. I had a 75 pound wolf shepherd Max he was a good dog I don’t think he liked me too much. He thought he was the boss. I’ve had dogs my whole life if I could afford to keep a wolf, I would, but I get as close as I can to the breed by getting malamutes and huskies thanks I love your show.
Having grown up with dogs my entire life it was always kind of a "guy thing" to go out and get the dogs howling, we call it singing with them, and it was always fun to do because they always got excited to howl and make noise and then they'd wanna play
Wolves are beautiful animals, sadly their population is in decline all the time because of some heartless humans who kills them for their fur. The world needs more caring people & a beautiful human's hearts like Anneka 🤍
I really envy the possibility you've had to bond with these wolves and have a 'howling session' with them. It also surprised me how these predators, who live in a fiercely hierarchical battle for dominance within the pack, can be so affectionate with humans. Once can almost lose sight of the fact that they are very dangerous, powerful predators.
It is heart-wrenching that Norway has such strict, and frankly evil, control over the Wolve population of the Northern Wilderness area. It is a perfect Wolve habitat and in no way interferes with humans. I don't think their reasons are valid or honest. I am sad about the, hopefully temporary, breakup of your pack. It made me cry when you howled your goodbye and the Sisters howled back from their enclosure. It sounded extra lonely. I hope they can reunite soon. Blessed Be Anneka and Pack.🐺 A Colorado Mountain Woman USA 💜 ✌️
It's such a shame that these wolves can't expand over such a great terrain. My heart is with these fur babies. I wish I could bring them to the hills of Tennessee. Controling of what should be left alone just proves again that people suck!
Here again it's another case of man intervenes with things sometimes thinking he is doing better but on the other hand he is making things worse and sometimes even destroying himself in the process🐾🐾🐺 . You must always weigh your decisions.
Colorado supports a number of wolf sanctuaries. My rescue Gr Pyrenees is from a Malamute breeding operation, and loves to join the howls! Keep the videos coming.
In Calgary Canada, I love mountain elevation camping. when dusk approaches the day and with a camp fire burning beside my tent, I start to hear the wolves chatting. I am a dog lover, so it is a comforting way to fall asleep just listening. No food in the tent. No intent.
Do they have a lot of human interaction usually? I wonder if they remembered you, as you had worked at gaining their acceptance last time. Great video, thank you for raising awareness and educating.
Anneka, this is amazing. I'm sad. Thank you for being in their lives as, I know, they're thankful for your friendship.
What a lucky lady you are for having this close encounter with such beautiful animals. I love your shows .❤
Agree, it's absolutely beautiful to see, it makes me cry. Am I too sensitive? 🙈 I just love wolves they are so magnificent and beautiful ❤
Selfish lady more like it, wolves were sleeping but this inconsiderate woman disturbed them for selfish reasons
She PAID FOR IT. What's so ama,ing about having money?? 😂

Its not better in Sweden. They planning on culling half the population. We have like 450.
To be realistic we could have over a thousand too, but the goverment have decident that no wolves are allowed in the sapmi's reindeer herding area (wich is the northen half of the country).
As a Norwegian I can tell you that you actually need to live here in order to fully understand the situation. As a foreigner and outsider it’s easy to watch this and claim that there’s enough land and space. Norway is a tiny country with 5 million people. The majority are farmers, and fishermen the rest live in urban areas. The wolf is an extremely polarizing topic here as the party of agriculture and farmers in general, most of who loose livestock to predators (wolves, wolverines, bears, lynx, eagles) each year, wants them completely gone and extinct… on the opposite end you have those who are not farmers who wants the wolves and predators in general to exist. Pet dogs also kill wild life and livestock as well as owners doesn’t follow the law and have them on a leach. We don’t have much “wilderness”, and the little we do have always boarders to urban areas or farming communities… the safety of humans and livestock always come 1st. Sad, but that’s reality.
@@kilipaki87oritahiti Here in the states the government compensates ranchers for the livestock lost to predators. It is an easy solution, but most ranchers just want a sterile environment where they can reap the most profit with the least amount of problems. They care nothing about the planet or the ecosystem.
@@kilipaki87oritahiti As a Swede with a similar situation and a similarly idiotic debate, I call bullshit. Firstly, wolfs pose no danger to humans. And secondly, the fact that we as humans choose to bring up livestock and are unable to accept that we do not have any superceding rights over any other animals to be in a certain place with circumstances of our own choosing is frankly pathetic and shameful. Obviously there is plenty of space to have wolfes and other predators roam free. The only obstacle are the selfish interests of humans.
They are such magnificent creatures!!! I do hope they can return to each other and reunite the pack!
❤❤❤
Where do you live? Do you want them delivered to your door step?
Was für ein Privileg diesen Tieren so nah zu sein. Es beweist daß es sehr soziale Tiere sind ..❤
My favourite video is the first one. Glad to see the return. Fantastic interaction with humans.
Did not know that Norway was so against wolves. I am from Alaska, and as noted by another from Canada, ours are not caged or hunted either. Loved hearing the howling on a dark, cold winter night or when they ran with me while I skied a frozen river. Surprised Norway has not studied the success of wolf re-introduction into Yellowstone National Park, and the benefits to Elk herds and the ecosystem.
It's same in sweden.
Ran with you? They were waiting for you to trip and make you their food buddy
The degenerate scandanavia
I mean if Elk numbers declining by 80% in Yellowstone is a good thing for them, I don't know.
if you think they help the ecosystem you're a fool
I can’t wait to see polar park and finally get to see these gorgeous wolves. They have always been my favourite wild animals. I love their howls.
It's an experience you won't forget. Enjoy your vist.
Amazing
Wolves are so loyal. My favorite. ❤
They are all beautiful, gorgeous amazing adorable, magnificent animals.
🤮 get a room why dont you
Thanks, brings tears to my eyes
*All of them are stunning, gorgeous, incredible, adorable, and magnificent creatures*
Absolutely breathtaking experience! Amazing how it turned out! ❤
lmao
I live in Wyoming, USA and we did a very similar thing to our wolves at the behest of ranchers. Turned out to be a terrible idea! Even with increased hunting caps the deer population went nuts. Because of that, wolves are necessary for the health of plant diversity, a thing not often considered.
سبحان الله الذئاب تتعايش مع البشر
Here in NY state, our county just released wolves into our population to take the deer and coyotes down. The deer population has decreased some, but so has the chipmunks and ground hogs
13:31 @GermanShepherdVlogDaphne
I am so happy to hear this about NY. I am originally from upstate (Chemung County) but have
lived in AZ longer now. I read about the overpopulation of deer and all the car related accidents due to them. I responded to the writer of the article( a professor at Cornell University) and suggested wolves be introduced instead of what they were considering ( sterilization which was going to be so expensive) The response I got was that prey is more affected by food supply than carnivores. Basically he was doubtful wolves could get the job done. I say bring back the wolves. It has to help more than if they weren't there and if they are contributing to decreasing the deer then maybe the public will see them as helpful and change the attitude toward wolves to a positive one.
Respect to you for helping the wolves that had a injury thank you
Here in Sweden it is sort of a similar problem, the fact that culling so few every year and that the peoples in the far Northern territories hate them just baffles me. In Scandinavia we need to do more to stand up for the wolf. The wolf keeps the Forest in balance, we have far too many deer and Moose even in the outskirts of Stockholm....Wolves have been sighted in these regions too. Where there is food the wolves will follow.....I hope we can save them for the future.
There is more to the pack dynamics than I had thought, although they are much like lions in this way. I'm afraid I don't understand the culling when there is so much land. It would seem the pack, unfortunately, takes care of the culling. You are doing such needed work for these animals and your bond to the wolves is amazing. How lucky you are!💚

@Gille87 I totally understand where you're coming from. I think I posted with emotion rather than thinking it out. And that's on me. Thank you for the information. It will help me understand these types of situations better in the future. Sometimes, there is just not a good solution for everyone involved. 😔
@@rescuelover7891 Especially if its only 5 million people in that NOT small country (UK is smaller than Norway and has 68 million people), they should tolerate some wolves in the Nordland and up, where there are no farms (unless you farm lichens and lemmings). Only 3% of Norway is a farmland and if they still worry, modern high-tech defense equipment like fences and guard dogs exist.
I also looked up how much wilderness they have - areas more than 5 km away from roads, railways and any man-made installations - and it's surprisingly large.
@@rescuelover7891 As another Norwegian, much of the information he gives is wrong. The majority are not farmers and fishermen, much like every other Western country, the majority lives in cities. Also, Norway is not tiny, we are relatively large geographically, with a small population that is widely spread out. Farmers losing livestock to predators is also a very overestimated. We have very few predators left in Norway, so naturally very few livestock will be killed by predators. The absolute majority of farm animals lost, are lost by falling off cliffs and mountains. The farmers also get compensated by the state when they lose animals, and (this is controversial) will often report animals lost by falls as animals killed by predators, upping the very small statistic of predator kills even more. Predators aren't really a big problem in Norway, but it's one if our biggest debates.
what beautiful wolfs!
Today I'm returning to see Anneka :)
I love it...wow...save all animals in the world :)))
absolutely awesome
Wolves wonderful animals. ❤
Admiro a Anneka, su amor x los animales ( perros, lobos y mas ) me envolvio x completo, soy seguidor de todo lo que sube, exitos hermosa, cuidate !!!
Beautiful animals 🙏
This was really cool to see
До чего же красивое и умное животное, глаз не оторвать, бесконечно можно наблюдать за ними.

I would give everything to have such a beautiful encounter with actual wolves! ❤
What a bittersweet video. Thank you.
Absolutely stunning and the wolves are lovely too 🥰
thanks a lot for those absolutely beautiful wolf howl vids of yours. sad to hear though, that norway is apparently not the nature-loving country i imagined it to be. will keep the polar park in mind, hope to visit it one day.
Thank you for sharing this wonderful video ❤. I'm afraid here in the US, after we had just reintroduced wolves to Yellowstone Park, the ranchers are already crying. This is public land, it does not belong to the ranchers. We have barely any Mountain Lions left in the wild again due to millionaire ranchers who obtain permits to graze their cattle on public lands. Now they are attempting to get rid of all our Wild Horses! The cattle and sheep pull the forage out by its roots, it doesn't grow back, whereas the horses do not rip it up by the roots, and they reseed the land with their manure. Again unlike the cattle which have many stomachs, there are no seeds left. The beef industry is 40% or more owned by China, who, surprise, surprise are the biggest consumers of our dissapearing Wild Horses and Burros.
I believe if Apex predators and not millionaire ranchers were allowed back into our billions of acres of National Parks then what the government run BLM who lie about the numbers of wild horses and knowingly sell to kill buyers would not have to worry about what they believe are too many Wild Horses and Burros. It's so hard to save any of these majestic animals when you have to fight with millionaires, billionaires, the Chinese and Japanese governments who depend on the USA to supply them with horse meat. God knows why the Chinese only want the pelts of Burro's so that they scape whatever is inside the skin and do only God and they know what with that product. I fear the worst, what will they go after next? The Elk? Deer? Until there are nothing but cattle left in our Public Parks and miners digging everything they can use up. I believe mans' time has come. We are killing the planet. Unless you listen to kooks like career criminal trump. He tells people climate change is fake news.
This is just sad. Those millionaire ranchers should: 1. buy their own land, 2. put up a fence around it, 3. get guard dogs, 4. shut up.

So beautiful and so sad at the same time, please keep us updated on them hopefully all reuniting back together 😍
They sure do love you Anne . Respect you .
Loved watching your previous video with the wolves and I’m glad you made one more!💛💛 really informative as well
A wolf's howl is one one the most primeval and most beautiful sounds on earth.
Unless theyre calling for the pack to come maul you
this moment where the wolves are drawn to Anneka presents their nature and are such magnificent beautiful animals..powerful and intelligent...nice to watch them....👍
This is my ultimate dream.Your so lucky
Some ppl are lucky to have some of the best jobs/ lives ever along side animals, my dream too 😉
Yes I too would love to live with the wolves🐺 . I used to have a very high content Wolfdog she was a great girl she lived 15 years and eight months and had her since 6 weeks old. We had a great Bond she was the best loving and caring animal. She was gentle enough to even take food from your mouth. She passed December 22nd 2022 I miss her dearly
@@jeffreyhusack2400 oh wow! Well she gave you some of the best years of you life and you her, so very lucky, you must miss her, ☹️
I lost my dog a month ago, I’m not coping very well without her 😢
@@Ilovegod494 sorry to hear. Hard to believe how attached we get to them ❤.I wrote down on paper a life history of my dog , like she was telling me her life , from beginning to end. Her name was Lakota & I called it Lakota's Life
They are very intelligent animals mystic and noble wolves should be protected
Keep up the good work I admire people like you I love wolves mankind needs to learn to coexist with these wonderful animals
I love wolves!🐺 🐺🐺
They are very smart and even wise animals.🙂
Please more episodes with wolves.🙏
It's very beautiful and amazing animals!🥰🥰🥰
So are all other animals
@@Bobaman5400 yes, this is true..!💯

Beautiful relations with such a predators like woolfs. And the wooooaauuuuuu sounds like song !dziękuję ! Lets hope Norway will prorect & save wel this natural haritage for the next generations. 🐺♥️
best episode ever
I love the peaceful but mysterious sound of howling wolves in the black of night.
Great episode, Anneka. Brilliant info and both wild & captive wolves. Loved it :)
❤❤❤❤
I can understand the point of view of the farmers; but we should remember Norway was first the home of the wolves before man showed up. Norway can adopt US management methods and as long as the farmers protect their flocks, the government would reimburse the farmers for their losses. Norway is a rich country and can afford this. In US, we have also notice when the wolves were brought back we see huge benefits in terms of wildlife management (like Elks, Deer...) and how the land in many areas recovered since they were not overgrazed by the herbivores...
What a shame of Norway , the wolves are such majestic beautiful animals.. it makes me so sad to hear this of Norway's government! God bless you Anne n your blue wolf! Amen. love all your videos and I follow on fb as well..
It's pretty provoking with this British blonde that talk as if Norwegians are hostile to wildlife, and being critical about why we don't have more wolves. I don't see any wolves anywhere in Britain?
The problem is that people like me, that live in cities, probably have a very romantic view about wolves and how wolves should just be given freedom to spread wherever, and think it's ecologically healthy for the wilderness areas for big predators to live there. While for farmers, that have to be confronted with dozens of sheep teared to shreds, the situation probably don't have the same romantic idealism. In Norway both cows and sheep are roaming freely in many areas up in the mountains, while the grass are being grown and collected lower down in the valley's. This is probably a reason why we have such a high quality, ecological and trustworthy meat-products, with no problems as in other countries, where the animals have to be stuffed into factory farms and eat unnatural feed and are full of sickness and pumped full of antibiotics to survive. I can't think of a single person who would think of it as an unhealthy thing to watch the Norwegian lambs when they finally are let out of the barn, after the winter is over, and they smell fresh grass and are allowed to roam free for the first time, literally jump around in circles from happiness.
So city-people like myself will say: Well, why don't those (damn) farmers hire 24/7 shepherds to guard the flock, without thinking that this will be likely to put such a cost on the traditional animal husbandry here, that it will start to look less what it have done for the last thousands of years, and more like what is happening in places like the UK and even worse: The USA. And even if the farmers actually do guard their flocks, it's a big story with strong feelings every time the news tell about the "bad farmers" having shot another "noble wolf", that was planning to go from sheep to sheep and rip them to shreds, since the sheep have been used to non-wolf life for so long that they have no fear and don't run away, making the wolf go into frenzy.
Also in the North, where it is suggested that there's merely huge areas of totally empty wilderness, theirs flock upon flock of thousands of reindeer, and the native Sami-people of the north, have been living with their flocks for not only hundreds or a thousands or two, but tens of thousands of years, where they had ALL their needs covered by the reindeer. However the flocks are roaming free, as the sheep and cows are, and the Sami no longer live in Lavvo's, moving around with their flocks, like just some very few peoples still do in the far north of Russia east to Siberia.
So what is the most natural thing, to reintroduce wolves into our wild, to make a more natural situation, and end up with factory-farms, because no small farmers (that don't exist in places like USA anymore), will be able to compete with such a development? Will that make things better? I really doubt it. And I think the farmers maybe have some valid arguments, despite how wonderful it would be with dreaming of making Scandinavia into a new Serengeti, with only room for wilderness. The harsh truth is that we here in Norway have an already very small ability to be self-sustainable, and if we become less so, and start importing more food, this will just mean that wilderness in other places of the world are cut down to produce high yield crops like soy and corn.
I think the mix we have now, with a lot of wilderness, and the same time a very healthy agricultural sector, where we can feel sure that what we buy in the stores are not meat or milk from animals that have been tortured to death in similar situations as abroad.
How beautiful they all are..!!
Superb!!!...alte cuvinte nu am!...❤❤❤
It’s so sad that they kill off these animals I wish I could put them in my backyard. I also am very jealous of you and your relationship with those wolves That is so cool. I had a 200 pound malamute he was a great dog came. I now have a 75 pound husky malamute saber. He’s a great dog. I had a 75 pound wolf shepherd Max he was a good dog I don’t think he liked me too much. He thought he was the boss. I’ve had dogs my whole life if I could afford to keep a wolf, I would, but I get as close as I can to the breed by getting malamutes and huskies thanks I love your show.
Having grown up with dogs my entire life it was always kind of a "guy thing" to go out and get the dogs howling, we call it singing with them, and it was always fun to do because they always got excited to howl and make noise and then they'd wanna play
the wolf is the most fedful créature in this eart ❤ amazing
Wolves are beautiful animals, sadly their population is in decline all the time because of some heartless humans who kills them for their fur. The world needs more caring people & a beautiful human's hearts like Anneka 🤍
Breathtaking video mam👍👍...mix feelings happy n sad
WOW, WHAT A GREAT VIDEO! Thanks. John P.
Bellissima!
Thank you for sharing. It is sad their numbers are so low there...
Coś przepięknego ile miłości w tym 👍😊🐕
Hi so nice to meet you. I love your videos of Animal Watch and the wolves are so lovely in Norway
Outstanding video 🎉
It's very interesting, amazing and kind video which I ever seen before in my life!))) Thank you🙏🙏🙏
I really envy the possibility you've had to bond with these wolves and have a 'howling session' with them. It also surprised me how these predators, who live in a fiercely hierarchical battle for dominance within the pack, can be so affectionate with humans. Once can almost lose sight of the fact that they are very dangerous, powerful predators.
So beautiful, and also the wolves.
very touching , extraordinary predators can be very spoiled and docile, I love it ⚘️⚘️🥰
WOLFS ❤ are LOVE ❤
Beautiful! Passionate and full of Love!
It is heart-wrenching that Norway has such strict, and frankly evil, control over the Wolve population of the Northern Wilderness area. It is a perfect Wolve habitat and in no way interferes with humans. I don't think their reasons are valid or honest. I am sad about the, hopefully temporary, breakup of your pack. It made me cry when you howled your goodbye and the Sisters howled back from their enclosure. It sounded extra lonely. I hope they can reunite soon.
Blessed Be Anneka and Pack.🐺

It's such a shame that these wolves can't expand over such a great terrain. My heart is with these fur babies. I wish I could bring them to the hills of Tennessee. Controling of what should be left alone just proves again that people suck!
Here again it's another case of man intervenes with things sometimes thinking he is doing better but on the other hand he is making things worse and sometimes even destroying himself in the process🐾🐾🐺 . You must always weigh your decisions.
@@jeffreyhusack2400 well said

J'aime beaucoup les loups ❤❤❤❤ ce sont des animaux qui méritent le respect et être protégés.
Colorado supports a number of wolf sanctuaries. My rescue Gr Pyrenees is from a Malamute breeding operation, and loves to join the howls! Keep the videos coming.
GRACIAS POR CUIDAR Y PROTEGER ESTOS HERMOSOS ANIMALES❤❤
In Calgary Canada, I love mountain elevation camping. when dusk approaches the day and with a camp fire burning beside my tent, I start to hear the wolves chatting. I am a dog lover, so it is a comforting way to fall asleep just listening. No food in the tent. No intent.
Do they have a lot of human interaction usually? I wonder if they remembered you, as you had worked at gaining their acceptance last time. Great video, thank you for raising awareness and educating.
I'm a wolf lover❤
Amazing ❤ I am fond of you WolfGirl!
Amazing!

Прекрасное видео, прекрасная девушки и волки красивые. Благодарю.
A beautiful video, a beautiful girl and beautiful wolves. Thank you
I liked your shows, howling and proudly for you.
The EU should step it up and do something about Norway. The 1600s are over and wolves are essential.
Norway is not a part of EU
@@beardedguy66 they should be able to do something though
I have seen them in real life and what can i say? It was such an amazing experience
What a beautiful animal! Even a wolf 🐺 feels human love and care! And perhaps he can answer all this with his devotion.!
Thank you so much
That’s so beautiful, absolutely love it
