Throughout most of Wyoming, wolves can be killed without permit or limit, often using cruel and brutal methods

Sign our petition and urge Gov. Gordon: End Wyoming’s wolf hunts.

Jack,

 

A wolf is struck by a snowmobile, duct-taped, dragged to a bar for jokes, and then unceremoniously shot.

 

Another is caught in a steel trap, left with its leg crushed, starving in the cold for days until the trapper returns.

 

Overhead, a helicopter hovers above the treetops, its rifle sights tracking a fleeing pack until the wolves finally lie still in the snow.

 

This isn’t hypothetical policy -- these are Wyoming’s wolf hunts. All legal, all encouraged and all done to an endangered species.

 

That’s why we’re building support to urge Gov. Mark Gordon to put an end to Wyoming’s cruel wolf hunts.

 

Will you add your voice to our call and help end this slaughter today?

In most of Wyoming, wolves can be shot, trapped or run over without a license, permit or limit.

 

The moment they step beyond the border into this “predator zone” -- whether from nearby Colorado or from Yellowstone National Park -- even protected wolves lose every safeguard.

 

Wolves can be pursued and struck by snowmobiles, lured with bait, caught in steel-jaw traps and even gunned down from aircraft.

 

These practices are unthinkable in most states. But in Wyoming they aren’t just legal -- they’re encouraged.

 

Perhaps the most shocking example of this cruelty is the story of Theia. 

 

Theia was a nine-month-old wolf pup who was struck by a snowmobiler in February 2024. Injured and terrified, she was taped up, driven to a local bar and paraded around for photos and jokes. Eventually, she was taken outside, shot and killed.

 

This is the heartbreaking reality for gray wolves in Wyoming.

 

Add your name and urge Gov. Gordon to stop Wyoming’s wolf hunts.

Wolves are intelligent, family-oriented animals that live and hunt in tight-knit packs. 

 

They nurture their young, protect one another and play a vital role in the wild ecosystems that make Wyoming such a special place. 

 

But right now, Wyoming’s wolves are being treated as pests instead of important wildlife worthy of protection.

 

That’s why we’re calling on Gov. Gordon to end these hunts and start treating gray wolves as the incredible and ecologically vital creatures they are. 

 

Environmental Action supporters across the country are raising our voices and calling for an end to this cruelty.

 

Add your name and tell Gov. Gordon to stop Wyoming’s wolf hunts today.

Thank you for speaking up for the wolves,
