Kei is a 12 year old female North American Eastern Timber Wolf who has
lived virtually her entire life on a 7 x 4 meter concrete slab in
almost total isolation from others of her species at the Okinawa City
Kodomo no Kuni Zoo in Okinawa, Japan. Please do some of the actions
below to help us get her released and back to a wolf sanctuary in North
America so that she can live out her last years of life in a more
peaceful setting, giving her the dignity she deserves.
Our Sweet Kei passed away dying on this cold concrete floor totally alone
Poem Below:
Hello my name is Kei, Welcome to my World
As I lay here on this cold hard concrete,
I watch as people pass me by and stand at the gate.
They stare at me and whisper things I can't hear,
How I wish they would just rub my ears.
All I want is someone to touch,
Wipe away my tears that hurt so much.
I am so lonely here in this place,
So I lay my head down and hide my face.
I am getting on into my years,
With nothing inside me but my fears.
I stand for awhile but my legs hurt and are weak,
If only I didn't have to lay on that cold hard concrete.
I am known as a wolf to some who come by,
They seem not to listen to my cries.
I don't have the strength to howl anymore,
I just look and listen as they ignore.
Will I ever be taken to a place away from here?
Will any one notice all my tears?
I don't know what Freedom is here where I live,
But I do know I have in my heart to forgive
Well I must go now, I have enjoy your company,
I'll close my eyes and dream of a place that isn't so lonely.
