Friend,

Trophy hunters, with the help of their friends in Congress and some Western governors, have Yellowstone and Glacier national parks’ grizzly bears in their sights and we must fight to protect them from extinction. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is considering removing Endangered Species Act protections for these grizzly bears, which would allow trophy hunters to kill these beloved bears just for their hides, a rug, or to mount their heads on a wall in some gruesome display of their hunting prowess.

Meanwhile, this spring, Alaska Fish and Game gunned down 94 grizzly bears and their cubs from helicopters. Grizzly bears face threats everywhere they live in the U.S. and they need your help NOW! Donate $20 right now to fight for grizzlies and all animals facing cruelty and abuse. ([link removed])

Grizzly bears once ranged from northern Mexico to Alaska, and in the lower 48 states numbered roughly 50,000 in the early 1800s. By the 1930s, grizzly bears were nearly wiped out. Giving them protections under the Endangered Species Act in 1975 helped to bring the population back from an estimated 135 remaining bears.

With strong protection, grizzly bears have begun to recover and now live in small, isolated subpopulations. Yet with fewer than 2,000 individuals in the lower 48 states, it’s critical that grizzly bears retain their ESA protections. If they lose them, Idaho, Montana and Wyoming will swiftly allow trophy hunting.This is plainly clear in Alaska where these iconic bears have NO federal protections and as a result state officials were able to gun down 94 bears and their cubs. The threat to their survival is real.

What’s more, some members of Congress are attempting to not only roll back key protections for grizzlies, but for majestic gray wolves and species such as the lesser prairie chicken, who are vital to ecosystems. We must counter these cruel attacks on wildlife and to do it, we need you beside us as we advocate for animals who are under threat.

Please make your strongest contribution today to support all our efforts on behalf of threatened and suffering animals. ([link removed]) Together we can save iconic wildlife and countless other animals. But we must act now before it’s too late.

Thank you,
