POV: You are a mama grizzly bear. You and your cubs roam across the vast Yellowstone National Park; you find home in its dramatic canyons, alpine rivers, lush forests, hot springs, gushing geysers, and abundance of wildlife. This land was made for you to thrive in its ecosystem as top of the food chain. 

On a warm summer's day, you're on the daily search to find a meal for your hungry cubs, but this time you wander just a bit outside of Yellowstone's borders -- with no idea that vicious trophy hunters are waiting to slaughter you. Out in the open lies a meal on the forest floor. Curious, you begin to examine the potential meal when loud SHARP sounds fill the forest air. You COLLAPSE to the ground and cry in agony as intense pain spreads across your large 700-pound body -- your blood SPLATTERED across the forest soil. You have been shot MULTIPLE times. You cannot move, and it is getting harder to breathe. You are dying. Your bear cubs, confused and scared, are now left to STARVE and will soon die without their mother. 

Friend, not too long ago, the bloody carcass of a mangled grizzly bear was discovered just 14 miles away from Yellowstone, and it likely suffered a similar horrific fate. This may not be the last grizzly death due to the Endangered Species Act rollbacks by GOP lawmakers and hunting lobbyists. Will help protect grizzly bears from cruel hunting practices and stop corporations and special interests from harming the planet?

It takes one bullet, Friend. One bullet to kill a mama bear and leave her orphaned cubs to survive on their own with a very low chance of survival without their mama. No one to help defend them from predators, provide food for nourishment, and provide shelter for their protection and growth. 

Trophy hunters prowl through regions like the Northern Rockies states that border Yellowstone -- where there is currently a lack of federal safeguards to keep grizzly bears safe, KILLING OFF these innocent mammals as a vicious game. 

Grizzly bears are one of the most iconic representations of North American wilderness. But less than 2,000 of these beloved bears are left in the lower 48 states. And if endangered protections of grizzlies are removed, barbaric trophy killings like these will only increase -- including methods like cruel baiting, painful trapping, and violent shooting. And grizzly bears' chances of survival will dramatically decrease. Friend, please act now to help save grizzly bears from extinction and protect the planet >> 

Thank you,
