Meet the Wolves That Were Imported to South Africa During the Apartheid Era to Kill Locals

Playing and running in the outdoors. However, the chain-link fence serves as a reminder that these wolves do not reside in the wild. These are a few of the creatures that Lexi and Ronnie Austen, a couple, saved.

The wolves have a sanctuary at the All Hearts Wolf and Animal Foundation in Hartbeespoort, close to Pretoria. Although they are not indigenous to South Africa, they have occasionally been bred here with dogs as exotic pets.

Because they are finding it difficult to care for them, some of the wolves have been turned over to the refuge. With a background in animal rescue and rehabilitation, Lexi and Ronnie Austen founded their sanctuary almost ten years ago.

For an organization that depends on donations, caring for the wolves is a full-time enterprise. According to Ronnie Austen, their diet alone is astounding. About sixty wolves are under our care. There are a few hybrids among the wolves; therefore, the total number of wolves is approximately 67. Remember that these wolves only consume uncooked food. Their primary diet is raw, but occasionally we will give them a few dog pellets and dog food, which is kibble.
