[[link removed]]Tiny paws wander across the forest floor. These innocent wolf pups don’t notice
the steel traps lurking beneath the piles of leaves. 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 leaves
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 $5,400 goal by midnight tonight to help protect vulnerable wolves and
the planet.

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 to
give them a fighting chance.
These vicious hunting practices can’t continue. Help us stop them and protect
the planet: Rush your $27 donation now!

[[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 yelp for help that won’t come. Will you join us and help answer their cries for aid?

[[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. Friends of the Earth is working every
day to maintain Endangered Species Act protections that are saving at-risk
wildlife from extinction and preserving their fragile ecosystems, too. ESA
protections prevent Big Oil and the logging and factory farming industries from
encroaching on these ecosystems. And these attacks on the ESA by Big Polluters
are proof that it’s working.
But 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 us fight for
the Endangered Species Act and protect wolves and our planet from these vicious
attacks. At the same time, we’ll work to protect the public lands that wolves
and their web of life rely on.
But we are facing pushback from private trophy-hunting interests, and we need to
step up our efforts before it’s too late. If just 1 of every 10 people reading
this contributes, we can reach our $5,400 goal -- will you rush your $27
donation now?
Protect the remaining wolves from greedy private interests. Donate $27 before
the clock strikes midnight and help us reach our $5,400 goal for the planet.
