LEGEND OF ROMEO, THE LONELY WOLF

[@klimber10001]

He was beautiful.. I wish I had known of him long before now.. what a precious life you had living among you.. Love to Romeo....

[@katiemayer7202]

Karma is a wonderful thing! ... Jeffrey Peacock (one of the two men responsible for Romeo's death) died at age 52 in Mar. 2015 ... I am still trying to find out what has happened to the other man (Park H. Myers III) ... RIP Romeo!

[@mariebell7823]

Glad to read one of the two poachers is dead.

[@NamelessKing.Sun1]

[@enrico-vp3329]

*Karma = woderful. YES*, but hate is awfully. Do not but those thoughts in your head, you will never get it out again.

[@2147B]

The other man lost his house to foreclosure

[@steinarstefferud]

Thank.s Romeo

[@Upperleftcoasttreelover]

I lived in Juneau from 2000-2009 and remember ROMEO dearly. Every time I went to the glacier, I hoped to see him, but I never did. The closest I got was hearing him howl on a cold and sunny (tho snowy), February day. I will treasure that, forever. RIP, dear black wolf and thank you for gracing us with your presence.

[@ehangehlan3267]

Do you still visit there for the memorial

[@Upperleftcoasttreelover]

Ehan GEHLAN no, I haven’t been back to Juneau since 2018. I did go and see the memorial when I was there :) Have you ever been?

[@ehangehlan3267]

Renee Chamberland did you meet the guy who first met Romeo

[@Upperleftcoasttreelover]

Ehan GEHLAN no, I did not.

[@ehangehlan3267]

Renee Chamberland have you gone to the exhibit about wolves in the museum. I heard they had Romeo there

[@sedna1011]

I have friends in Alaska, and they would send me updates to his story...until there were no more. This is a beautiful tribute to Romeo, and to all wolves. Thank you.

[@Angel-cd5qq]

Romeo Viva ...beautiful. Romeo ....🐺

[@lmmsl]

Wonderful ..A very rare video ... Thanks my dear friend Jolanda for sending this with me.. floydstinkyboy Thanks a lot for your amazing video and info...

[@AKITNETUA]

Woooot...sweet wolfie! Nice video Floyd...

[@cenotevenus]

wonderful video thankyou

[@isminx]

What a lonely sound. I was glad to hear that locals have made sure that Romeo is safe. Too many times I've watched or read about wolves being hunted in Alaska and the American southwest. Nature created wolves for a reason, that being balance. As long as there is enough food there is likely to be no reason a wolf would attack humans. As for Palan's allowing the hunt so that human hunters could have more Elk to shoot..I've always felt she was criminal for allowing it. Peace, love and hugs..thanks.

[@Tadek59]

悲しくて、悲しくて、 人間でいることを、恥ずかしくなる。

[@skellymom]

The book on Romeo's life came out and is bookstores. Unfortunately, the ending was not good. He was shot and taxidermed by poachers. He does have a monument in his memory, though.

[@Prophiscient]

Great! I'll drop by whenever I am on the other side of the planet. :-)

[@laylamohammadalthawadi1128]

Wolves have very nice voice

[@karan89er]

wow that was very interesting !! thanks for sharing this with us floyd!! keep em comin!! and was that u who recorded the whole thing and took the pics?

[@Prophiscient]

Great skiing skills at 0:55 ... :-)

[@siamiam]

really cool video, 5 stars

[@marykajohnson]

Excellent biography and footage of Romeo. Thanks for sharing. Are we going to see more of him featured?

[@decimaquinta69]

Molto bello

[@floydstinkyboy]

yes no one has seen romeo all winter. the biologist thinks he may indeed have done what old wolves do. but legends never die!

[@seereeuss]

People probably should not have begun to practice these visits coming around evidently many times and bringing many dogs for Romeo to get use to making it easy for him to get surprised by killers.

[@floydstinkyboy]

thanks for the info. we can only hope it's fixed and not "fixed" if you know what i mean. glad you likee the mooooovie

[@wolfkelsey1]

@Deblyla acually. it is true. because its very logical that romeo went to look for his dead mate. juliet was a love one with her wolf pup. the pup and vixen got ran over by a car. romeo was out looking for some food.then he tried looking for them. but never saw them. romeo did not know it happen. so he thought they were still alive. so romeo looked and looked for his loved one until he found her. the Reynard was brave and bold to look for juliet. and now romeo deserves to rest in peace with her.

[@24SweetThing]

According to one of the previous comments, someone was arrested. Which makes me VERY happy!! I don't know what his punishment was, but I hope it was more than just a slap on the wrist!! Wolves deserve to be free just like the rest of us!!

[@floydstinkyboy]

it started counting again, last night. so i will leave it up.

[@floydstinkyboy]

i took all the moving images but the stills are from others.

[@floydstinkyboy]

@TheWolfkilla1 i hope the case is solved; they are innocent until proven guilty. but at this point, according to investigators, it's too early to tell if it was romeo. apparently they were arrested for poaching 2 bears, and the black wolf skin was found incidentally during a search of a house. the state says there is no way to tell if it is romeo - but apparently OSU has his dna and testing could be done. we will see how the court case goes.

A remarkable wolf, just read Nick Jans book, "A Wolf Called Romeo" really stired deep emotions in me for the wolf, unfortunately there are deviants in all societies who destroy icons an Alaskan community held in high regard and they were further let down by a corrupt and weak legal system.

[@abalon13]

Romeo’s disappearance triggered a community response. Reward money was put up and missing posters were posted all over Juneau. Friends of Romeo began investigating and in May of 2010 an arrest was made: Park Myers of Juneau and Jeff Peacock of Lebanon, PA were charged with a number of hunting violations, including an illegal wolf kill. The wolf, while not confirmed as Romeo, was an adult male taken from the Mendenhall Lake region on September 22, 2009 - 4 days after Romeo went missing. And it was black. Photographs confiscated from Myers and Peacock show a lone black wolf confidently approaching vehicles in a parking lot, later the two men posed with the carcass of a black wolf, and an image of a Juneau Empire article entitled “Romeo, Where Art Thou?” DNA analysis of the wolf was never performed but Harry Robinson examined the photos and identified the wolf by a recognizable scar. “That is definitely Romeo,” he pronounced. The hunters were found guilty of numerous hunting violations and the penalties handed down were typical of those for first-time violators - fines of several thousand dollars, suspended six-month jail sentences, and loss of their hunting licences for three years. As much as he was loved by the Juneau community, Romeo was still just a wolf, with no special rights or status beyond those of the rest of his kind or even that of the bears that were also illegally taken by the convicted hunters.

[@floydstinkyboy]

@Deblyla they did not do any dna testing, so it's not 100% scientific. but they showed the skin at sentencing and everyone who saw it, was sure.

[@floydstinkyboy]

a special new ski wax for reverse!

[@floydstinkyboy]

yes that is the rumor. can you prove it? who has been charged with the crime?

[@floydstinkyboy]

no sign of romeo at all this winter. there is a story about that in this weeks paper.

[@andhy.]

🖤

[@morgan7014]

Why was Romeo the wolf so friendly?

[@rozeboosje]

Alaska, Juliet. Now quit annoying me with that question.

[@edfisher2752]

Our somewhat less informed and not well educated culture today , with little exception , will not be happy until it has "humanized " or killed every wild creature on earth and beyond .! Romeo is one fine example of the do-gooder mentality of wolf -huggers , and the lawless mentality of the radical "sportsman ", The wolf should have been relocated - early on to save him ! And the lawbreakers who killed him should be severly punished !

[@floydstinkyboy]

i am convinced the video counter is broken. It has been stuck at 203 for two days, and I know I watched it once and several people have commented, since then. Broken? Or another YT conspiracy to silence all hermits and rebel outdoor lovers?.

[@andywerner838]

The voice must be going dead woe sounds like it

[@Fire12338]

Это полуволк. Никогда волк не вышел бы к людям.

[@dawnaudet3976]

I love this story but those stupid hunters

[@floydstinkyboy]

in other words all you have is a rumor which you are going around posting as a fact. did you know all this was already in the paper over a month ago? if there was any real evidence of this, charges would have already been filed. rumors are not helpful homer.

[@Fire12338]

А вы уверены, что это волк?

[@wacrockett5256]

Was anyone ever convicted of killing Romeo?

[@copper5585]

Some of your facts are really not and the way you are presenting them is in a tad bit negative.
