My name is Davie Murray, and I adopted these wolves.

As part of the Wildwood Trust's membership and adoption scheme, I - along with more than 300 other people - became symbolic guardians of a pack of five European grey wolves living at the Trust's park in Kent. We paid. We cared. We followed their lives. Odin, Nuna, Maximus, Tiberius, and Minimus were our pack.

On March 25, 2026, I found out they were all dead - not from the Trust, not from a phone call, not from an email to their adopters. I found out from a Google notification.

I can't bring them back. But I need to know why they died, and whether it had to happen at all.

Why this matters:

The Wildwood Trust claims the euthanasia was a "last resort" following a "sudden" social breakdown. But the facts tell a different story:

The sepsis timeline: Post-mortem results confirmed that one wolf had already developed sepsis - a systemic infection that takes days, not hours, to develop. This means life-threatening injuries were present and going untreated for a significant period before the so-called "emergency" decision was made.

Contradictory statements: The Trust called the violence a "sudden explosion" — yet their own internal communications refer to a "prolonged period" of escalating tension. If the situation was deteriorating over time, why was there no separation plan? No contingency?

The rehoming option was never taken: Organisations like Wolf Watch UK have successfully rehomed wolves following dominance conflicts. We need to know why specialist sanctuaries were apparently never contacted about saving the uninjured members of the pack.

Adopters were left in the dark: Over 300 people had a direct relationship with this pack. None of us were warned. None of us were consulted. We deserved better - and so did Odin, Nuna, Maximus, Tiberius, and Minimus.

We are demanding:

• A fully transparent, independent review of the pack's management logs from the last six months
• A clear explanation of why no emergency separation facility existed on-site
• A full account of what rehoming options were explored - and why they were rejected
• A "Never Again" commitment: mandatory consultation with specialist sanctuaries before any healthy animal is euthanised for behavioural reasons
• A formal apology and direct communication to all adopters, who were the last to know

Please sign and share.

Odin, Nuna, Maximus, Tiberius, and Minimus deserved better. The 300+ people who loved and supported them deserved better. Help us make sure this never happens again.
