I’d
just read that they’ve taken the Wolf off of the Endangered Species act in
Wyoming.
Big Bad Sexy Wolf? The New "50 Shades" Fairy Tale |
So
when I was at the pop-up Halloween extravaganza store yesterday scanning the
aisles and costumes with my kiddos amongst the Naughty Dora the
Explor-oh-yeah-baby! and Ally Catraz Prisoner handkerchief sized costumes for
“big-girls”, the BIG BAD SEXY WOLF costume jumped out at me.
First
of all, it’s a whole rewrite of the “3 Little Pigs” story. Tell me how that
story would go now with the Big Bad Sexy Wolf showing up instead….. “And
I’ll huff, and I’ll puff, and I’ll……..”
Ahem, YOU fill in the blank. Pigs high -fiving all over the place,
texting their pig-friends at this 50 Shades of Grey Wolf porno about to be
acted out….
But,
secondly, and to the point of this piece, the grey wolf in
Wyoming may be sexy and may be big, but apparently it’s the furthest thing from
being bad. In fact, in another almost ridiculous 50 Shades word-play moment,
it’s been great for the beavers. The beavers in Wyoming are thriving from the
increase in population of the wolves. Which is why I almost titled this
article: WHY THE BIG BAD SEXY WOLF IS GREAT FOR OUR BEAVERS. Ahem.
And
wolves are not only good for our beavers, but they also “have a powerful effect
on the well-being of the ecosystems around them – from the survival of the
trees and riverbank vegetation to, perhaps surprisingly, the health of the
populations of their prey,” according to the Op-Ed piece “Why the Beaver Should
Thank the Wolf” by Mary Ellen Hannibal in this Sunday’s New York Times.
And
this is why a group of non-profits are challenging the federal government’s
decision to remove the Big Bad Sexy Wolf from the Endangered Species Act.
We
need to protect our sexy wolves.
And
the Three Little Pigs.... and even a Little-Red-Riding-Hood Gone Wild…. just might agree.
Namaste
& Three Cheers- a
