A Request for Support: Please Consider a Paid Subscription
Dear Wild Side Readers,
If you’ve been reading and valuing my work, I’d like to ask you to consider becoming a paid subscriber to my Substack.
My goal is to inform and educate people about wildlife — especially predators — and to advocate for more inclusive, balanced wildlife management that protects all species, particularly apex predators.
If that mission matters to you, your support would make a real difference.
I’ll be honest: my computer recently crashed, and I’m currently struggling to cover basic expenses like rent.
Any support right now would mean a lot and help me keep this work going.
Thank you for reading and for considering it.
Sincerely,
David Stalling
From The Wild Side



I would love to support you but I'm running on a financial knife's edge as well and can't afford a subscription. Have you thought about adding a buy me a coffee option? It may not be the windfall of cash that you need but it would allow people to give smaller donations rather committing to a full subscription. I'd be happy to buy you a coffee or two or three!
Dave,
I haven't followed you up to now but am happy to have a reporter from the wild side. Everything seems so impossibly sad now - I welcome news from you and the apex predators you speak for.
