Dear Friend,

Montana declared war on vulnerable wolves. The wolf hunting season is now
extended to six months . That means wolves are spending half of the year trying to dodge bullets from
trophy hunters. Or being gunned down where they sleep. Still, brutal hunters are
pushing against vital protections for wolves. All so they can keep killing them
off for “fun.” The vicious hunt of helpless wolves can’t continue, Friend. Donate $27 today and help us reach our $4,300 to protect wolves
and the planet!

In just a few weeks, hunting season in Montana will be in full swing. Last
season, hunters gunned down over 250 helpless wolves across the state. And this fall could be no different. To make matters worse, Montana allows wolf hunting along Yellowstone’s northern
border. That means any Yellowstone wolf that wanders over the park’s border
loses its protection and is instantly fair game to hunters.

And trophy hunters don’t just kill wolves. They make them suffer using inhumane
methods like neck snares and steel traps. Wolves are left reeling in pain for
days before dying. And their babies are left orphaned and facing the same fate.
These devastating scenes could soon become common as hunting season looms. Unless we take action.

Hunting season is nearly upon us. Act now to help protect wolves and the planet:

season like this.

That’s because one wolf kill isn’t just one wolf kill. When a mama wolf is
gunned down by a trophy hunter, her babies’ chances for survival plummet.
Without protection, orphaned wolf pups could starve or freeze to death. Or they might survive long enough to fall prey to other animals and trophy
hunters.

And to make matters worse, these hunting practices are worse than anything we’ve
seen before. Wolves are chased down by helicopters. Run over by snowmobiles.
Dynamited in their dens while they sleep. And it’s all completely legal.

No animal deserves this fate, Friend. But if we don’t act
soon, it could get even easier for hunters to viciously torture and kill wolves
in droves. That’s because Big Polluters are using their massive influence to
help trophy hunters strip away the last few protections wolves still have. If
they get their way, they could wipe out wolves. All so they can take over their
lands and open them up for destructive mining and logging. That would also
destroy any possibility of wolves being able to recover in the future.

Trophy hunters and Big Polluters have shown time and again that they care more
about lining their pockets than the lives of wolves and survival of our planet.
But Friend, is private profit really worth all of this
bloodshed and destruction?

Don’t let greedy corporate interests drive our last wolves to extinction. Donate

[[link removed]]Here’s what we’re up against: Powerful trophy hunting and Big Oil lobbies are
fighting tooth and nail against protections for wolves. Now, the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service is ignoring science-backed wolf recovery practices. That means struggling wolf populations are being abandoned in pro-hunting states like
Montana.

And losing wolves would have serious impacts on our planet. Wolves are a
keystone species. They help balance out their ecosystems by keeping prey
populations in check. Not to mention, scavengers rely on their kills to sustain
them. Without wolves, other plant and animal species could suffer.

With hunting season around the corner, it’s never been more important to stand
up for wolves. Friends of the Earth is working to put a stop to the violent
attacks against the last surviving wolf packs and protect our planet. And that
means protecting the Endangered Species Act. A vital piece of legislation, the
ESA allows us to shield endangered species from violence. Even more, it gives us
the power to block destructive industries like Big Oil, logging, and factory
farming from destroying critical habitats for profit.

Your membership support can go a long way to fuel these efforts. But we’re up
against some powerful foes. Private trophy-hunting interests and Big Polluters
have seemingly bottomless resources to get their way. That’s why I’m asking for
your help today. We are falling $1,293 short of our goal. But if just 1 in 12
people reading this makes a $27 membership contribution today, we can reach our
$4,300 goal and make real change for wolves and the planet. Will you stand with
us today?

Stand up to greedy interests before we lose wolves forever. Donate $27
immediately to fight for wolves and the planet!
