WANTED: Volunteers to Share Pen with Wild Wolves
Volunteering is such a rewarding thing to do, but you may be thinking twice about this one. A wildlife park in China wants you to volunteer to be locked in a pen with 36 wild wolves. It will be for three days, and you will be with a few other volunteers. There is a tree house for you to stay in where you will be equipped with a flash light, walkie-talkie, and you will be monitored 24 hours a day.
The organizers stress that you will be safe while doing this study, and it will be an exciting time. The wolves are very wild and there will be staff with tranquilizers if something does go wrong.
Volunteers are being required to write short essays on their experience, as well as, take pictures, and video clips.
So far, 600 people have volunteered, both women and men. This is only the second day of applications so people are really excited about this.
If you are interested the wildlife parks website is still taking applications. It is called, Qinling Wildlife Park in Xi’an.
Successful applicants will be given a certificate and five hundred British pounds.
If I was in better health and shape this would be great for me, I love wolves!! This would be ideal
to watch them and study them up close and personal..(sigh)!
