Hi John,
In the northern Rockies, wolves can be chased down with hounds and snowmobiles.
In most of Wyoming, wolves can be killed without a license, at any time, in any way. Poisons, traps, bullets — they're available to Wyoming wolf-haters every single day.
The Center for Biological Diversity is fighting to end this cruelty toward wolves.
You can help today by making a matched gift to the Saving Life on Earth Fund.
Even though the U.S Fish and Wildlife Service admits wolf-killing in Idaho, Montana and Wyoming could wipe out 75% of wolves there, the agency won't protect them.
The violence toward wolves in these states must not be allowed to continue. That's why we took the Service to court. But we're not stopping there.
We're urging the U.S. Forest Service and the Bureau of Land Management to ban the use of snowmobiles and other vehicles to run down, injure or kill wolves and other wildlife on all federal lands they manage.
The persecution of wolves in the northern Rockies and elsewhere is deeply rooted in a culture that portrays wolves as threats and vermin. That's how wolves were nearly wiped out throughout the lower 48.
But there's no defense or justification for killing wolves. And we've had enough of the savagery.
Wolves are loyal, pack-oriented creatures who can fully recover in places they once called home, if they're just given the chance. They won't get that chance if the agencies responsible for protecting wildlife look the other way while they're subjected to vindictive, cruel treatment.
The Center's team of scientists, lawyers and activists are compelled by love each and every day. We love the wild and all its creatures, great and small.
We turn that love into action to save wolves and all other species in desperate need of a future that's safe and secure. As the extinction crisis ramps up, this work is more important than ever — and we'll never stop fighting.
Please stand with us now and have your donation to the Saving Life on Earth Fund doubled.
For the wild,
