Help prevent the worst wolf massacre to occur in the lower 48 states in

decades -- Take action now!

 

Help Stop the Next Wolf Massacre

 

Hundreds of wolves could die if a misguided " management " plan becomes a

reality. Help stop the massacre -- Urge U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service head

Dale Hall to protect wolves in the Northern Rockies.

 

Federal officials are about to make a big mistake -- one that could lead to

the killing of hundreds of wolves in the Northern Rockies.

 

Help save these magnificent animals. Urge the head of the U.S. Fish and

Wildlife Service, Dale Hall, to maintain federal protections for gray

wolves.

Sometime this month, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is expected to

release a proposal to strip wolves of crucial Endangered Species Act

protections across most of Wyoming and de-list wolves in Idaho, where the

state is poised to kill up to 75% of the wolves living in the Lolo district

of the Clearwater National Forest.

 

This proposal could allow the use of aerial gunning and other lethal control

methods to kill as many as two-thirds of the wolves in Wyoming and as many

as 54 of Idaho's 65 wolf packs!

 

Help us prevent the worst massacre of wolves to occur in the lower 48 states

in decades. Take action now:

In the last century, America's wolves were nearly hunted, trapped, poisoned

and harassed to extinction. Yet neither Wyoming nor Idaho has addressed the

core issues that once brought these magnificent animals to the brink of

extinction.

 

Until Wyoming and Idaho take decisive action to promote conservation,

maintain adequate range for the wolves and reduce conflicts between ranchers

and wolves, removing federal protections is a recipe for disaster.

 

Join our Campaign to Save America's Wolves. Take action now.

Since last week, more than $85,000 has been donated to support our work to

save wolves in the Northern Rockies. We've already begun putting these

resources to good use, preparing our legal challenge to the federal proposal

and rushing new radio ads and other educational materials into production.

 

Now we need to ensure our voices our heard. Plenty of folks motivated by

over-blown claims of livestock loss and elk hunting declines are urging

federal officials to kill wolves. Will you be a voice for for America's

wolves?

 

Send your message now, and urge Fish and Wildlife Service chief Dale Hall to

protect wolves in the Northern Rockies.

The future of our wolves depends on you.
