Hi John,

Gray wolves in Idaho are being gunned down by government snipers to appease livestock owners. Wildlife Services, the rogue federal program that kills more than a million animals every year nationwide, has taken out whole packs in a single onslaught.

We're in court to end Wildlife Services' killing of gray wolves in the state. The program tried to get our suit tossed out but lost.

Please give today to the Stop Wildlife Services Fund. Your support helps power our fight to protect wolves and other wildlife from being slaughtered.

Idaho hasn't updated its wolf-management plan in over a decade. It doesn't even have an accurate count of how many wolves live there — it uses unreliable methods to track their populations. But that hasn't stopped the state from holding wolf hunts, using taxpayer dollars to support bounties for killing the animals, and letting Wildlife Services run roughshod over wolf families.

Wildlife Services killed 84 gray wolves in Idaho last year. Twelve died by ground shooting, six were shot from airplanes, and 21 were shot from helicopters. Three were strangled by neck snares, and 42 were shot while caught in foot traps, or just left there to die of exposure.

This indiscriminate killing is cruel. We won't stop fighting until the aerial snipers are grounded for good, the snares thrown away, and the killing of wolves and other wildlife grinds to a halt.

We've won against Wildlife Services in Idaho before, including an important win last year when the program was ruled to have ignored the impacts its killing operations have on the environment.

Our legal victories save thousands of animals every year, but are costly and take months and even years.

These are fights we can win, but we need you with us.

Please give today to the Stop Wildlife Services Fund.
