Hi John,
Five wolves have already been killed in Montana during a hunting season that began just days ago.
A record 334 wolves could be killed — 24 more than last year.
Thanks to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, wolves outside the northern Rockies could face a similar threat.
Please help the Center for Biological Diversity stand up for wolves with a gift to the Saving Life on Earth Fund.
The Service admits that wolf-killing in Idaho, Montana and Wyoming could wipe out 75% of wolves there. But the agency refuses to protect them.
In Montana a single hunter can kill up to 20 wolves. Residents pay only $12 for a wolf-hunting license.
Hunting and trapping shatters wolf families. These beloved icons of the wild deserve better than that.
That's why we're in court — to bring them the justice of the Endangered Species Act.
Because if the Service gets its way, federal protection for wolves across the lower 48 will be stripped away — exposing more wolves and wolf families to dangerous hunts and cruel tactics like painful traps and snares and being run down by snowmobiles.
Wolves outside the northern Rockies lost their protection under the Act in 2020 — and states and hunting groups rushed to hunt them down. The same thing will happen again if federal protection is lifted.
The cruelty exhibited toward wolves, and the bloodthirsty hunts, prove that federal protection of this keystone species is critical.
The Center is fighting from every angle to win that protection.
We're in court to save wolves in the northern Rockies and keep them protected elsewhere across the lower 48.
We're pushing for an end to vicious methods of killing predators, like cyanide bombs.
We're urging the U.S. Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management to ban — on all the lands they manage — the use of snowmobiles and other vehicles to run down, injure or kill wolves and other wildlife.
We've been on the front lines to save wolves for decades — and with your help we'll stay there.
Please help now by giving to the Saving Life on Earth Fund.
For the wild,
