I wish I had better news to share. But hunting season is in full swing, and vulnerable wolves are in serious trouble.
We thought gray wolves were making a promising comeback. But just last year, a trophy hunter rampage ruthlessly gunned down an entire Yellowstone wolf pack. Now, only 89 gray wolves remain in the park. And though they’re protected in the park, there’s nothing stopping them from stepping across park borders. Once they do, they could find themselves in bordering states where hunters can senselessly murder them without consequence. This hunting season, gray wolves must be protected at all costs. Donate $27 today and help us reach our urgent $3,900 goal to protect vulnerable wildlife and the planet!
It gets worse. Because for trophy hunters, it isn’t enough to simply kill a wolf. Hunters killing for sport needlessly terrorize these helpless animals. They resort to painful neck snares, leaving wolves to choke to death in futile attempts to escape. They chase them down with helicopters. In some states, it’s even legal to DYNAMITE nursing wolf mamas and their baby pups inside their dens!
All the while, hunters and Big Polluters are fighting against protections for wolves. Why? So they can keep killing for “fun” and take over the land for mining and logging. This system is broken, Friend. But it’s not too late to fix it. Thanks to members like you, we still have the chance to make real change happen. But we need to protect our vulnerable wildlife and the planet before the loss is too great! Will you join us in this fight?

This fall and winter could be devastating for wolves. With only 6,000 remaining in the lower 48 states, these precious canines can’t afford another hunting 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.
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?
Our wildlife should come before corporate profit. Rush your $27 donation now before wolves and vulnerable wildlife are driven to extinction and it’s too late for our planet.

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 in full swing, it’s never been more important to stand up for wolves. Friends of the Earth is fighting with everything we have to strengthen 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 and polluting the communities that rely on them. That’s why we’ve collected thousands of comments from supporters just like you -- urging our elected leaders to put an end to these vicious attacks against the ESA.
Your membership gift will go a long way to further support our planet-saving work. 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 $3,900 goal and make real change for wildlife and the planet. Will you stand with us today?
Wolves, vulnerable species, and our planet are on the line. Donate $27 today and help us hit our $3,900 goal by midnight tonight!
