[[link removed]]Tiny paws wander across the snowy forest floor. These innocent wolf pups don’t
notice the steel traps lurking beneath. They don’t know they just crossed state
lines, into an area where they can be legally killed. They don’t have time to
react as the metal rips into their paws, splattering the snow red. Their lives have barely begun, and now they’re in a struggle to survive. No innocent creature should endure this: Donate $27 immediately and help us
reach our $180,000 goal by midnight on Earth Day to help protect vulnerable
wolves and the planet, and it will be matched dollar-for-dollar, up to this
goal.

This scene is common in Northern Rockies states that border Yellowstone. There
are no safeguards to keep gray wolves safe from vicious trophy hunters who are
killing off innocent and vulnerable wolves in droves -- and using the most
inhumane of hunting practices.

The situation is dire, Friend, but there’s still hope for
vulnerable wolves. Thanks to members like you, we can still make real change
happen and protect wolves before it’s too late. But trophy hunters are doubling
down against protections for these precious animals, so we need to act now and give them a fighting chance.

These vicious hunting practices can’t continue. Help protect wolves and our
planet this Earth Day: Rush your $27 donation now and have double the impact!

[[link removed]]Wolves had begun to make a slow but promising recovery over the past six
decades. Last year, three baby wolf pups were born to the only wolf pack left in
Colorado. The pups were suspected to be the first wolves born in Colorado in 80 years.

Protected by the state, they were a symbol of hope for repopulation efforts. But
wolves aren’t bound by state lines -- the second they set their tiny paws onto
Wyoming soil, they become vulnerable to the most brutal hunting practices we’ve seen.

Sure enough, three mangled, bloody young wolf carcasses were found across
Wyoming state lines.

Not even wolves in Yellowstone are safe from the pattern. The park recently lost a record high of 25 wolves, leaving only 89 behind. Yet the states that border Yellowstone still have no safeguards to keep gray
wolves safe from vicious trophy hunters and their inhumane practices!

In states like Montana, Idaho, and Wyoming, wolves are dynamited in their dens while nursing their pups. Baby wolves are left bleeding out in steel traps and slowly choking to death on snares in a futile attempt to escape. Trophy hunters unleash bloodhounds on them,
which tear their flesh apart while they whimper and yelp for help that won’t come. Will you join us and help answer their cries for aid?

Help protect vulnerable wolves from brutal hunters before it’s too late. Donate
$27 immediately and help us reach our $180,000 goal!

[[link removed]]Wolves are intelligent creatures that are vital to their ecosystems. They help
keep elk and deer populations in check, allowing other plant and animal species
to flourish. The remains of their kill redistribute nutrients and feed
scavengers. They truly are a keystone species!

Yet, trophy hunters and Big Oil lobbies are pushing against protections for
these precious creatures, hoping to kill them for sport and develop their
habitats for the sake of corporate greed. Their actions have contributed to the
gutting of the Endangered Species Act and protections for wolves, bears, and
other vulnerable species -- and now, only 6,000 wolves remain in the lower 48 states.

For trophy hunters, it’s not enough to just take the lives of innocent wolves --
they resort to helicopter chases and torturous snares that fill a wolf’s last
hours with panic, dread, and insurmountable pain. To make matters worse, wolf pups are left orphaned after their mothers are
gunned down in the woods. They can suffer from hypothermia, starvation, and predation without the protection of their mothers.

Friend, your membership gift today can help push the
Biden administration to put federal protections in place to save wolves from
these vicious attacks and at the same time, we’ll work to protect the public
lands and planet that wolves and their web of life rely on.

But we are facing pushback from private trophy-hunting interests and Big
Polluters, and we need to step up our efforts before it’s too late. The
Endangered Species Act is one of the few protections that stands in the way of
the fossil fuel and agriculture industries polluting communities, driving
climate chaos, and harming biodiversity across the country. If the GOP attacks
on the ESA succeed, these harmful industries will have an even easier time
drilling, fracking, mining and operating massive factory farms. If just 1 of every 10 people reading this contributes, we can reach our
$180,000 Earth Day goal -- will you rush your $27 donation now?
