Refreshments and informational materials were made available for attendees and donations were accepted.HFW hosted a booth at "Veg Fest on September 19, 2021. A HFW representative answered questions and suggested action items to interested visitors.HFW provided a speaker on March 26, 2021 at the Sedona Wolf WeekThroughout 2021, a representative of HFW participated in the information gathering for, and the review and development of, a revised wolf management plan as part of the Department of Natural Resources' Minnesota Wolf Management Planning Committee. This involved multiple virtual meetings, some in person meetings, review and comment on proposed language and the rebuttal of opposing viewpoints.HFW notified its supporter base on January 25, 2021 of an opportunity to submit comments in opposition to the state of Wisconsins proposed (and ultimately disastrous) wolf hunt. Supporters and wolf advocates were urged to tell officials:Advocates and most citizens oppose all wolf trophy hunting, baiting, and trapping and snaring,Conflict prevention with livestock using nonlethal methods, which include guard animals, fencing, birthing shelters, lights, and carcass removal are all more effective than a wolf hunt, which is actually counterproductive.Routine baiting and trapping of wolves onto a site and killing wolves in response to wolf-livestock conflicts does NOT guarantee that the problem wolves have been eliminated. The needless killing fractures packs, can cause additional depredation, is arbitrarily cruel and ethically unacceptable.--
