POLICE IN ENGLAND have confirmed a wolf that escaped from its sanctuary earlier today has now been captured.
At 8am this morning, Thames Valley Police received a call reporting the escape of one of the ten wolves at a sanctuary in Picklepythe Lane in Beenham, 73 kilometres west of London.
It was initially believed that the wolf got free after strong winds knocked down a fence at the UK Wolf Conservation Trust. However BBC reports the sanctuary has now said that the wolf’s enclosure gate may have been left open deliberately.
A school nearby was asked to keep pupils indoors.
The wolf, called Torak, moved to the Curridge area where police said it was safely detained by officers and staff from the sanctuary who had been working to recapture it.
Speaking after Torak was recaptured, Teresa Palmer, who founded the sanctuary in Berkshire told the BBC: “I think somebody deliberately opened the gate. A lot of people don’t particularly believe in having animals in captivity.”

Sounds idilic but what about employment?
@David Grey: and is there many single women there.. Another important question
@David Grey: nail, head
Married and willing would do too
@Peter King: Yep, Mayo is known for its nail head factories. Plenty of employment there
@David Grey:
You’ll be far to busy making fire and building shelters than worrying about employment. Scavenging wild mushrooms and berries for breakfast, trapping wild grouse and distilling your own urine. Won’t be enough hours in the day as it is.
@David Grey: How about creating your own job?
@Acedeuce: Fleeced with them, if you get my drift.
@Tweed Cap: you should see the magic mushrooms coming up after the rain the last few days. Happy days.
When Sam goes .. I’ll go!
What are the broadband speeds like?
@Peter King: and is there shopping delivery
There hasn’t been a band around in years , since they closed the hall
@Peter King: somewhere between “slow” and ” what’s broadband??”…..basically like all of rural Ireland
achill island. now that is a place i;d like to live
@Just Some Guy: You haven’t been then? Went there for long weekend in our camper van left after one day!
Skangers need not apply. If only
Moved from London to remote Mayo, I’m able to work from anywhere and it made sense when we had a kid, 20 years living in NW London to the remote west of Ireland was a daunting thought, but it was amazing, also commuted regularly back to the city via Knock, it was a breeze and much quicker than getting to Dublin, a fantastic place to live, no longer there as I need to engage with Dublin and we’re still figuring out some vital assistances for ‘rural’ Ireland, transport, broadband, etc. It’s maddening how small the island is and how we’ve not yet mastered our way around it, don’t suppose it would be very rural/remote if we did.
Take 3 generations to be fully accepted by the community
Till you look at the world it all a con , control and greed by a few. Ireland is tiny with a small population , it could be great country throughout for all. Even if we took a small percentage of the people that seek work in the UK our economy could grow.
Be there in a minute, hang on
Land of The Yews…….
Moving home is not a simple solution or an easy thing to do . You have to leave behind your families and friends . In short you have to leave behind your support system !
@Frank Dubogovik: FYI,broadband speeds here in Westport faster than most areas in Dublin
Pardon my language but $uck Los Vegas ours is real
Agreed. Though Westport may be the exception rather than the rule, its broadband speed is well ahead of the norm.
Not to mention the fantastic social life!
