Speak Up for Wolves

[Guest guest]

Dear friends,

 

I just sent a petition to Gale Norton, Secretary of the Interior, about

the

new federal rule weakening federal protections for gray wolves.

The new rule classifies wolves in most of the Lower 48 states as merely

threatened rather than endangered. This would make it easier to kill

wolves throughout most of their historic range in the Lower 48 states.

Once all but wiped out by extermination campaigns, wolves are just now

struggling for survival again in the wild.

 

Signing the petition is very simple. You just go to the website and

fill in a little info.

 

Below is a more detailed excerpt from www.SaveWolves.org. regarding

the bill and the threat to the wolves.

 

Please help keep the wolves safe and free! Go to

send your petition, and pass it on!!!

 

peace & joy,

Just when gray wolves are roaming free again in America, some want to

strip federal protections from many of these magnificent animals. This

would make it easier to kill wolves throughout most of their historic

range in the Lower 48 states.

 

A new federal rule classifying gray wolves in most of the Lower 48

states as merely threatened rather than endangered has just been

announced by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. It's the first step by

Interior Secretary Gale Norton toward putting wolves under the control

of states where politicians want to eradicate these magnificent animals.

 

Wyoming's state wildlife agency has recently gone on record to allow

wolves to be killed like skunks or jackrabbits. Idaho's legislature has

voted to remove wolves from their state " by any means necessary. " And

some Montana politicians want to let citizens shoot wolves on sight by

the end of this year.

 

Speak up for wolves. Once all but wiped out in the Lower 48 by

extermination campaigns, wolves are just now struggling for survival

again in the wild. But they need protection for their fragile recovery

to continue.

 

Please sign the petition voicing your outrage over this new federal

rule and urging Interior Secretary Gale Norton to support strong

federal protections for wolves.
