The Last Wolf of Scotland

When the Highlands Fell Silent

For centuries, wolves moved through Scotland’s vast Caledonian forests. Long before castles and sheep pastures, the Highlands belonged equally to red deer, golden eagles ... and wolves.
The Scottish wolf was part of the Eurasian gray wolf, ranging widely across Europe. But by the 1600s and 1700s, its world was collapsing around it literally.  Forests were cleared. Red deer were hunted down to near extinction, sheep farming expanded & Government bounties were placed on the heads of apex predators.

Labeled vermin, wolves were driven deeper into the shrinking Highlands.The most repeated account places Scotland’s last wolf near the River Findhorn around 1743, killed by a hunter often named MacQueen of Pall à Chrocain. Yet the story was written down decades later and carries elements of Highland folklore. No official record confirms a final kill.

What is certain is this: by the mid-1700s, wolves were extinct in Scotland, and the Highlands fell silent.
Today, deer overpopulation and stalled forest regeneration challenge the landscape. In many regions, fencing is required just to allow trees to grow. The absence of wolves is still felt.
The Gaelic word for wolf, madadh-allaidh “wild dog”  lingers in place names like Wolfhope and Wolfhill. In older Celtic tradition, wolves were not only feared but respected guardians, powerful beings of the wild able to walk in two worlds. 

 But as forests thinned and fear hardened, the wolf shifted from neighbor to enemy. And once gone, it was easier to call it a monster.
Scotland remains without wild wolves, though conversations about rewilding continue. Once eradicated as a threat to civilization, the wolf is now studied as a missing piece of ecological balance.

The last wolf did not know it was the last. It only knew a shrinking home, gunfire, and the fear of man.
But the wild lands remember it all from the trees to the water 

And perhaps one day, the Highlands will remember how to sing again.

Montana just sentenced 458 wolves to death. In a move that ignores science, disregards public input, and caters to entrenched political interests, the Commission approved the highest statewide wolf-killing quota since wolves were stripped of federal Endangered Species Act protections in 2011.

Individuals are now allowed to kill up to 30 wolves each—15 through hunting, 15 through trapping. This staggering number puts an already fragile population at severe risk.

Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks’ own data warns that quotas this high could drop wolf populations below sustainable levels within a year. Yet commissioners brushed aside their agency’s science, while also limiting public participation in the decision-making process.
 The public spoke—overwhelmingly opposed—but the Commission made clear where its loyalties lie: with politics and special interests, not science or democracy.

Officials claim wolves must be reduced to “protect livestock” and “restore balance.” But the facts tell another story: in 2024, wolves killed just 45 cattle in a state with over 2 million cows. That’s fractions of a fraction of a percent. Meanwhile, ranchers receive generous taxpayer-funded compensation for their losses, often without adopting proven non-lethal coexistence tools like range riders or fladry.

This isn’t management. It’s extermination by another name.

Wolves are worth more alive. Montana’s own economy proves it. Yellowstone-area wolves drive a half-billion-dollar wildlife tourism industry. People travel from around the world to see wolves in the wild, filling hotels, restaurants, and local businesses. A wolf alive is worth exponentially more than a wolf dead.

This decision makes one thing crystal clear: Montana will not protect wolves unless forced to. The fight for federal Endangered Species Act protections is now more urgent than ever. Montana has chosen politics over science and death over coexistence. We need people everywhere to step up and demand change.

Ranchers and a negative media narrative are controlling the fate of wolves. It’s time for all of us to take action and defend science, democracy, and wildness before it’s too late.

This is very very bad and devastating I can't believe it

Despite over 65,000 petition signatures, 1,500 written comments, nearly 100 official submissions, and a dozen powerful public testimonies, the Alaska Board of Game voted 6-0 to reinstate the Mulchatna bear control program.

This means aerial gunning of bears will continue, including moms and cubs, across 40,000 square miles — just 30 miles from Katmai National Park, one of the most vital bear ecosystems on Earth. The program is now expected to remain in place until 2028.

Sad. Frustrating. Infuriating. A few people can cause massive harm, even when thousands raise their voices. But this is a setback, not the end. There’s already a new fight beginning, and I will need your support 🙏🐻

I stand with the bears and will continue to fight for them — for the balance they bring, the wildness they represent, and the future we still believe in.

Huge thanks to @alaskawildlifealliance for standing strong and doing everything they could. Your leadership and courage continue to inspire.

Let’s keep showing the world why these bears — and the wild places they call home — are worth fighting for. 🙏🐻

There it is... Again what exact good is supposed to come out of this?

The Endangered Species Act (ESA) is a widely effective law that has kept 99% of the species it protects from extinction. It’s also popular among a vast majority of Americans. But one of President Trump’s executive orders seeks to empower an "extinction committee" comprised of his own appointees to decide the fate of an endangered species.

Trump wants this committee to greenlight controversial projects that prioritize special interests, even at the cost of wiping out an entire animal or plant species forever. Some of Trump's cabinet picks also have deep ties to extractive industries like the fossil fuel industry, which want to weaken the ESA to exploit our public lands for mining, drilling, logging and other destructive operations. The Trump administration’s actions serve to advance this industry-first agenda.

The first Trump administration also targeted the ESA. Earthjustice went to court, where we succeeded in reversing most of Trump’s unprecedented damage to the ESA. We're prepared to defend this vital law, and the plants and animals it protects, again.

Yesterday, Proposal 75 passed unanimously, 6-0, and was dismissed as a “housekeeping item.”

But this “housekeeping” plan will destroy Alaska’s iconic wildlife:

🐺 Wolves: Remove 73–80% (35–55 wolves).
🐻 Brown Bears: Remove 60% (minimum 375 bears).
🐻 Black Bears: Remove 60–80% (minimum 700 bears).

Why we’re heartbroken:

• Decades of research show these predator control programs don’t help hunters harvest more moose.

• The plan relies on outdated science with no meaningful monitoring or accountability.

• It will cost taxpayers heavily to fund helicopter gunning, with little real benefit.

• Now, ADFG has full authority to carry this out without public input.

These animals deserve better. We all deserve better. This isn’t “housekeeping”—it’s devastation.

Thank you to everyone who spoke out against this barbaric proposal. Bears and wolves may not have a voice, but we do. While we lost this round, this is far from over—the fight to protect them continues.

You can watch the YouTube meeting from 7:07 to 7:20, where Proposal 75 was briefly discussed and approved, through the link in my bio.
