Sea Wolves of British Columbia 

Agreed, yet the reality is that trophy hunts happen quite regularly. Tough to believe these are still a thing, tho ~ especially for wolves. Fwiw, I may be vegetarian, but I'm realistic. Imo, moral subsistence hunters get their food more humanely than how the USDA harvests. (I realize most people don't have access to hunted meat, as well.) Peace.🐾🙋🌎

I’m a vegan but wholly support subsistent hunting, fishing is the great catastrophe to our world. I just watched Seaspiracy and it was game changing. A must watch!

Is your hunting necessary for your survival? Some day, humans might be farther down the food chain.

So much wildlife is threatened by unrestrained "development". How do we curb them? When they are gone, they are gone forever. At least until human beings are gone forever and can no longer threaten by their lust for profit.

Ehh...shouldn't we have more respect for the animal that feeds us? I mean I understand what you are saying...but does that mean that you only eat animals you don't respect? I'm not sure that idea plays out...we are all part of the same system...all equal in value...IMO

Yes indeed, studying them in their natural habitat is the only way to really get to know wildlife, and yes I agree, wolves are an essential part of this ecosystem.

Thank you, very happy you enjoyed the film.

I guess you haven't seen a pack of them covered in blood, in a mad bloodlust, killing everything in their path, leaving a dead trail of livestock they never intend to eat. EVERYONE needs to witness that, and then tell me it's a good idea to keep reintroducing these killers

Yes my channel is the work of a single person (myself) and for that reason I often refer to my docs as a "One Man Band" production. Thank you for your kind comments and support of my work, I'm very glad you enjoyed this film.

Until I read the term 'history of wolves', had never pondered it... Checking it out now. Merci

Thanks you, I agree wolves are very special animals that help balance our ecosystems. I was very privileged to spend a few days filming them, I hope you too get an opportunity to do that one day.

Man wildlife are so threatened by whitey man on all fronts.

Yes that's correct, all of this footage was collected while we were there filming in person. To see how it was done check out the behind the scenes footage at ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-yGPrSwuKHlQ.html Thanks for watching.

You’re welcome Kim, glad you enjoyed it.

Thank you so much, your comments help me stay on track with my videos. I'm glad you enjoyed this one.

It is a very endearing and soulful sound.

Thank you Sassy, I'm glad my film was worth the wait. 😁

Yes indeed, as long as its wild fish, not farmed.

Thank you so much Vern, I greatly appreciate your comments and I'm very happy you enjoyed my film. 😁

Thank you Leslie.

Thank you Anna, I am so glad that you like my channel, please stay tuned, there will be more to come.

@@rickandrewsfilms1667 Your work is phenomenal and one of a kind as far as the combination of peaceful music, peaceful voice, and educational content of high quality.

@@AnnaSzabo Thank you again, you are too kind.

Yes the wolves are lean here compared to others that live say in Yellowstone or Alaska. They do hunt and eat seals which may be their biggest source of fat, and like all wolves, they will scavenge what they can.

Thank you so much Anna, I greatly appreciate your comments and I'm very happy that you enjoy my films. 😁

Thank you Vanessa, they are indeed magical.

@@rickandrewsfilms1667 subscribed ♥️ 🌊🐺🌊♥️

Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed the film.

Thank you very much Martin, I will keep that in mind if I'm ever in that area again.

Thank you Paul, I do my best. Glad you enjoyed it.

@@rickandrewsfilms1667 Yes Rick you have a very good narration style. The script is well written. And your pausing is just perfect. You don’t talk too quickly. But also your voice is very good. It’s got the right tone and timber to it. Your videos are of professional quality. Don’t be discouraged that you don’t get more comments. What I appreciated will be also appreciated by others except they don’t comment. Keep up the good work. 👍🍀😊

@@rickandrewsfilms1667 By the way Rick do you believe in God. In my twenties I used to like watching the animal kingdom on TV. And now I’m 76 I’ve returned to it again. The sea wolves was interesting. I’m still thinking about it. Did they really swim that far. When I was 40 I got on the God trip and I’m mixing into the equation the greatness of God’s creation and it’s provoking more thought. In one of your scenes I thought I saw a Bar Tailed Godwit. They fly non stop from Alaska to here in New Zealand. It takes about 5 days and it’s about 11,000 kilometres. They amaze me. Then when the season changes they fly all the way back to where they have come from.

Our indigenous Coastal First Nations people have lived in harmony with wolves for millennia, so it is possible.

Very happy you enjoyed this video Mary, thank you for your kind comments.

Thank you Tim, and thanks also for watching the video. Glad you enjoyed it.

Thank you Irene! Bienvenue!

Glad you enjoyed it.

Thank you Miguel, I'm really happy you enjoyed it.

Thanks for this info Indy, much appreciated.

This isn't quite accurate - the study you're referring to "proposed that Canis lupus ligoni (Alexander Archipelago wolf), Canis lupus columbianus (British Columbia wolf), and Canis lupus crassodon (Vancouver Island wolf) should be recognized as a single subspecies of Canis lupus." (to quote wiki)

Yes indeed Oscar.

Thank you Devlin.

Thank you Pat.

We have sea wolves living here in Tahsis

@@patgray2569 Very Cool!

They are healthy and can make a living with the available food sources.

Yes they are indeed beautiful animals.

Not sure what you mean Chathura, this video was filmed by me with additional footage from some of my fellow photographers and guides on the west coast of Canada. Have you seen it on Netflix?

@@rickandrewsfilms1667 no there is tv series of sea wovuls. I saw it trailer. Then this video has recommended by u tube. And This video is superb. Keep Going on 😎 Is it Canada?

@@chathuralakshen9909 ah thank you. yes it is filmed in Canada.

Same here. This short video, however, is much better! In my opinion the Netflix documentary on this subject is terrible! Most annoying narrating, in particular, since they give the animals names like they were people. In conjunction with the artificially construed stories (e.g. the "problem" that sea otters constantly geht seperated from each other due to gray whales 😀) the netflix documentation (which doesn't deserve the name) is simply unbearable.

​@@Frederob 🤦 Popular programming is how companies get viewers. Anthropomorphicizing may even help young people care more about fauna. Not a bad thing at any level.

Thanks for watching.

Thank you for your feedback.
