Quick story, I had a Siberian Husky for almost 15 years, I get some mailer for a charity (can't remember the name) that (allegedly) rescued wolves, relocate them away from farms, and helped preserve their habitat. I sent them $ 50 once, but never sent in any more (despite the monthly junk-mail). A while later, I was reading about some of the eco-nut groups that were lobbying against drilling in ANWR and offshore and what do I see, but the name of the charity for the wolves....last time I donated to any charity without really doing my homework first.

LOL...ANWR stands for Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and they do have wolves living there in need of protection from people like you who want to "drill baby drill." This is where charities in the business of "helping to preserve their habitat" come into the picture and so I wonder what is meant by "slick."
Funny story, usage of the initialism ANWR is preferred to using Arctic National Wildlife Refuge because it sounds friendlier and does not make one sound cruel and callous.
