Roses are Red
Violets are Blue
You're annoying the wolves
Don't fucking awoo
@Chiaroscuro and stressful. I did a howling with wolves event with the international wolf center. They explained we were just going to try twice to get a response, because it stresses them out thinking there's another pack near.
@Chiaroscuro used to be a werewolf but I am alright nowwoooooo!!!
@Chiaroscuro this one's getting bookmarked for my goat friend. πŸ˜‚
@Chiaroscuro Don't tell me what to do 
@Chiaroscuro oooh! Irritating wolves!
@Chiaroscuro @XanIndigo I just howled at my dogs and can confirm it was meaningless and irritating
@Chiaroscuro that's actually funny!
@Chiaroscuro This is the content I've come here for
@DanCast This admittedly was about my third-biggest post on Twitter and I am glad it is going over well here. :)
@Chiaroscuro I feel the same way when non technical people try to tell me technical jargon to solve the problem that I am paid to solve. 😜
@grimm 🎡 And I say bounce a graviton particle beam, off the main deflector dish 🎡
@Chiaroscuro
My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined  
@tentree You can still play a cartoon animal on the internet, you're set
@Chiaroscuro "Meaningless and irritating to wolves" πŸ˜‚ πŸ˜‚ πŸ˜‚

@Chiaroscuro I howl at my husky and he howls back. If we're outside, the 7-8 huskies in the neighborhood all join the chorus. It lasts a minute or two and it's wonderful.

If you visit my place, you can howl as my husky as much as you want. We love it.

@atoponce Getting a husky to _stop_ making noise is the tricky part!

@Chiaroscuro Poor Wolves being irritated by visitors howling.

But hey! What are doing Wolves in a place that could be visited by irritating humans at first place?

@char Keeping the species continuing through breeding programs and educating visitors, I'd imagine.
(There's some moral discussion about zoos to be had, but I think we're getting overall better about good environments for animals. As signs like this show!)

@Chiaroscuro
This is exactly the purpose and existence of a Nature reserve.

Thanks to the person that created this sign, no doubt.
And also I think that you are right in the sense that we as a humans are improving the conditions at the zoo. But still there is no reason to have an animal in jail.

@Chiaroscuro In contrast, fish do not communicate with each other by tapping on the glass.
@Chiaroscuro @CP93 I'm howling right now, but I don't think any wolves are listening.
@chickgonebad @CP93 Best to howl at moderate volumes, just in case!
@Chiaroscuro No howl, only mow --Cougar
@Chiaroscuro what if I don’t give a hoot? Does that irritate the owls πŸ¦‰

@Chiaroscuro

Only time I like to imitate canine howling is when I'm around a tiny dog

I find it delightful when a chihuahua or rat terrier howls as best the can

Kind of like when Southern Grasshopper Mice howls

@tiberiusgracchus With dogs it's a different story. It's more "Oh, my human is trying SO HARD to speak dog."

@Chiaroscuro

It's just adorable watching a sweet little dog find his inner wolf

It can really freak out the owners too

In the wild, while North America wolves are mostly harmless, aside from disrupting their communication, it seems foolhardy to alert them to where they can find free beef jerky and gorp
