Dear Friend,

Congress is going to vote this week on a bill that would strip federal protections from gray wolves in the Continental United States. The bill, introduced by Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO 4th District), is one of the biggest threats to wolves right now and would have long-term consequences for gray wolf recovery. 

This is a big deal, Friend. Not only would this bill put a vulnerable species at risk, it would set a dangerous precedent for removing federal species protections. 

We can't let this happen. Take action today by sending a message to your US Representative and asking them to vote NO on the deceptively named "Pet and Livestock Protection Act." Send a message to your Representative asking them to vote NO today!

At the end of his first term, the Trump administration issued a hasty rule to remove gray wolves from the endangered species list. Thankfully that rule was overturned by a federal judge in 2022, but now the attacks are starting again. This bill by Rep. Boebert would reinstate that same rule that was already deemed "unlawful," stripping gray wolves of federal protections and leaving it up to the states to decide how to manage this species. 

Why do we need to make sure gray wolves are protected under the Endangered Species Act? Because despite their importance, many of the states where they are found would rather kill wolves than protect them. States like Idaho have passed local laws that would allow unethical and unnecessary killing of wolves if they are not protected at the federal level. In Wyoming, Brian Nesvik (Trump's US Fish and Wildlife Service Director) oversaw the mass killing of wolves by any means -- including running them over with vehicles, torture and trapping them. That is why we need to keep federal protections in place.

Please take a moment to send a message to your Representative asking them to vote NO on this awful bill.
