Farley Mowat is the author of Never Cry Wolf, a personal memoir published in 1963. This memoir was written so that he could recount his experiences in the Arctic with wolves.Farley Mowat wanted to become a naturalist and the government gave him a job he couldn't refuse. He had to go to the Arctic and collect data on caribou killing wolves. 400 miles north of Churchill, he found himself in Canada. He met a man named Mike who let him stay in his cabin by a frozen lake. Mike's family were the only humans in thousands of square miles. After Farley Mowat started showing him cutting tools and cutting diagrams of animals and people, Mike quickly packed up and left. Exploring first, Farley found between four and five hundred caribou skeletons around the cabin, which Mike later says he must kill so his husky team can eat them. A lone husky quickly transforms into an adult wolf when Farley approaches it. The next time he sees the wolf, there will be another one with him, playing in the sand. Looking for them again the next day, he discovered that they had been lying 20 feet behind him the entire time. The lake eventually melted and flooded the cabin, so a tent was pitched just ten yards from a hunting trail. A boundary was drawn after the tent was pitched and the wolves never crossed it. Farley realized that wolves ate far more mice than caribou. When the heat came, the wolves would direct their young to a summer den where they could run. One day he observed the wolves hunting and was furious when they did not try to attack the healthy deer. By observing carefully, he realized that they generally only ate sick and weak deer. The government paid people up to twenty dollars to kill wolves. Leaving the lake, Farley went to Brochet Winter... middle of log... healthy men were riding in helicopters with powerful cannons, rounding up large groups of caribou and shooting them. The men then took the racks they wanted and left. Farley checked out an incident about this and found it was all true. People used the caribou for their own recreation and games and slaughtered what keeps the tundra alive in winter. Farley Mowat did a fantastic job describing his journey and his thoughts on what was happening. The decision to discard devices that could harm the wolves made the story much brighter and hopeful. I loved this book, there were many unexpected events that made my heart race, from seeing the wolf for the first time to almost falling in the summer den. He did so much detail work that he made you feel like you were really there, right next to him, witnessing all the events that happened..
