Hi John,
In Idaho wolves are chased down and killed by hunters in snowmobiles. Montana and Idaho reimburse bounty hunters their costs for wiping out wolves.
And Wyoming allows wolves to be shot on sight year-round.
Federal wildlife officials refuse to act, so we're gearing up to take them to court.
Help us protect wolves in the northern Rockies with a gift to the Saving Life on Earth Fund today.
In 2022 and 2023 Idaho hunters and trappers killed more than 560 wolves. In Montana, 235 wolves have been slaughtered during the current hunting season — which goes for another month and will likely be worse than last year.
It's unacceptable and illegal.
Gray wolves are still trying to recover. Political interference in Congress prematurely ended Endangered Species Act protection for these wolves years ago, and they continue to pay a terrible price.
As the gruesome, annual tally of wolf killings shows, it's long past time to return federal protections. We petitioned the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to right the injustice perpetrated on wolves. The agency refused, so we'll go to court to protect them.
Federal wildlife officials have an obligation to protect wolves, which is why it's so shocking and upsetting that they continue to stand by and let them be killed.
These states have shown they can't be trusted to manage wolves and put them on the road to recovery. They seem more interested in eradication and feeding the blood lust of those who would rather see wolves gunned down and dead in traps.
Wolves are loyal, social animals who play a crucial role in the ecosystems where they live. They deserve better.
We won't sit back and just watch decades of wolf recovery undone.
Each and every day our lawyers, scientists and activists are standing up for wolves and all wildlife on the knife's edge.
This is our life's work, and we won't back down.
Please stand with us and give to the Saving Life on Earth Fund.
For the wild,
