12/14/2012 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." | 
         
          |  | Had 
            a work day plus private, low key memorial service for Nira and Ingo. 
            Showed video of Nira and Ingo. Also had a small work day today working 
            inside. The volunteers replaced a light in the freezer building and 
            volunteer room/office. They also cleaned the walls in the office and 
            filled in holes getting ready for painting. Also acquired a new volunteer 
            today. | 
         
          |  | Nira 
            and Ingo's ashes to be interned inside current enclosure. More information 
            will follow as it becomes available. |
