Send a Wild Valentine: Celebrate Love & Protect Wildlife This Season
Love is in the air, and so are the howls. Late winter marks mating season for coyotes, wolves, and foxes across North America. While Valentine’s Day often focuses on roses and chocolates, the natural world reminds us that devotion, partnership, and family bonds aren’t just human traditions, they’re beautifully wild.
This year, you can celebrate love in a way that also protects it.
Ohio Animal Advocates (OAA) is proud to partner with Project Coyote to share a meaningful Valentine’s opportunity that supports compassionate coexistence with wildlife.
Love, the Wild Way
Coyotes form strong pair bonds during breeding season. Wolves are famously devoted partners, often mating for life and working together to raise their pups. Foxes, too, share parenting duties and rely on cooperation to help their young survive.
These are not the villains of folklore — they are intelligent, social, family-oriented animals playing vital roles in healthy ecosystems.
Yet wild carnivores are often misunderstood. Fear, myths, and outdated narratives continue to shape policy and public perception. That’s why education and science-based advocacy matter.
Send a Valentine That Protects the Wild
Project Coyote has created a beautiful collection of wildlife-themed Valentine’s eCards featuring stunning images of coyotes, wolves, and foxes paired with heartfelt messages.
With a small donation, you can:
Surprise someone you love with a meaningful, paper-free card
Schedule delivery for February 14 (no last-minute stress!)
Support science-based wildlife advocacy
Help replace myths with facts
Advance humane, non-lethal coexistence policies
Every eCard directly fuels work to promote compassionate conservation and protect wild carnivores from unnecessary killing.
It’s effortless. It’s impactful. And it’s rooted in values we can all stand behind.
Why This Matters in Ohio
Here in Ohio, conversations about wildlife management are ongoing and often complex. As an organization committed to evidence-based policy and humane treatment of animals, OAA supports approaches that prioritize:
Coexistence over conflict
Prevention over reaction
Science over fear
Partnering with Project Coyote helps amplify a message that wildlife protection and public safety are not opposing goals. We can build systems that respect both.
When you send a Wild Valentine, you’re doing more than celebrating love — you’re helping shift the narrative about wildlife.
