Defender,

Warning: This message contains details on the ruthless killing of Colorado’s first
wolves in decades.

Shocking news has come out that hunters lured Colorado gray wolves to their death by electronically mimicking
animal distress noises just yards across state lines. Those wolves were members of a founding pack in Colorado and protected under
the Endangered Species Act. This nefarious group of hunters tricked the wolves
into Wyoming where wolves are not protected and can be legally killed, some just
feet from the border.

These remorseless killings show how far the enemies of wolves will go to hunt
and trap even protected animals. We can’t wait for more animals to be lured to their brutal death – we need
emergency federal protections for gray wolves in the northern Rockies states of
Wyoming, Montana and Idaho now!

You can save gray wolves by supporting our efforts to shut down reckless killing
in the Northern Rockies. Pitch in today!

These deaths became public just as Colorado is prepared to celebrate
reintroducing gray wolves to the state. A new population of wolves will carry
the dream of restoring historic wolf territory in Colorado.

Without emergency protections for wolves that travel into Wyoming or other
Northern Rockies states, we could see history repeat itself. Wolves could
continue to be killed just for crossing the line into hostile states –
especially as some hunters are using bait and calls to spring a deadly ambush.

End these outrageous killings: Pitch in to keep wolves safe across the country!

Defenders is pressuring the Biden administration to restore Endangered Species
Act protections to gray wolves throughout the lower 48 states. Your support helps us break this cycle of violence and protect vulnerable
wolves once and for all!

GIVE TO SAVE WOLVES!
