Howling Together, Yet Apart: A collective howl in memory of Takaya

RMB author Cheryl Alexander is inviting people around the world to participate in a simultaneous collective howl in memory of Victoria's iconic coastal wolf, Takaya, who was killed by a trophy hunter on Tuesday, March 24, 2020, near Shawnigan Lake on Vancouver Island, approximately 50 kilometres away from where he was released in late January. According to Alexander, "Howling is a great way to let out the anguish and love that we are all feeling. It is also a way to 'gather' in honour of Takaya while we all must stay apart. You can howl alone or together with those you are isolating with - you can howl indoors or go out into the street or onto your balcony, howling to the stars or sun. You can howl once ... or many times. Try it. You will see how great howling can feel. If you want to, please record your howls. We are setting up a central Takaya website and will soon have a place to collect the howls." The time for this collective howl in memory of Takaya is set for 5pm PDT on Sunday, March 29, 2020. Cheryl's book, Takaya: Lone Wolf, will be published by RMB in Fall 2020. [embed]https://www.facebook.com/takayalonewolf/videos/2759152587645744/[/embed]
