This is a really sad tale of human cruelty to animals, but you can help – please read on:

A wolf and a donkey were made to share a cage in the town of Patok in Albania on May 9, 2007. The donkey was brought into the enclosure to be fed to the wolf, which was caught in the northern Albanian mountains. But the wolf defied the human plan and refused to kill the donkey. The two animals become attached to each other in their miserable situation, with the wolf cowering behind his donkey companion. Their cage is small and filthy. Although the donkey has now been released into an enclosure the wolf remains in the cage and cannot even get comfort from his companion.

Please be a voice for these animals and ask for their freedom and for them to be released to a sanctuary where they will be properly cared for and in an appropriate environment. There is a group of animal lovers working hard to get animals released and taken to a sanctuary. They are now appealing for assistance from an animal organization inside Albania to help. Meantime you can sign a petition and get involved in helping free the wolf and donkey.
