Hi John,

Wildlife Services envisions a gruesome, cruel future for wildlife in Colorado. It includes strangling neck snares, painful foot-hold traps, and aerial gunning, all part of a sick plan to kill the state’s native wildlife.

Taking out mountain lions, black bears, bobcats and other animals would wreak havoc on Colorado's ecosystems. These animals play a critical role in ensuring Colorado's wild places remain healthy and balanced.

We're in court to stop this senseless slaughter — another of our many battles against the shadowy, cruel Wildlife Services program.

Reckless oil and gas drilling has torn apart the habitat of mule deer in the state, decimating their population. But instead of restoring Colorado habitat, Wildlife Services is blaming cougars and bears for the mule deer losses &mdash and preparing to spend millions of taxpayer dollars to kill these native predators.

We've taken Wildlife Services to court for failing to consider the disastrous consequences of this plan. Instead of following science and the law, it adopted a "kill first, answer questions later" attitude.

We know how to win against Wildlife Services. In Wyoming we recently secured a ban on the program's use of deadly M-44 cyanide traps across more than 10 million acres of public land. In Oregon we helped secure a ban on the program’s targeting of beavers, minks, muskrats and otters.

In Northern California we secured a ban on traps and aerial gunning in designated wilderness areas in 16 counties.

Now we've got our sights on what's happening in Colorado.

These are fights we can win, but our battles against Wildlife Services are often long and costly.

Please give to the Stop Wildlife Services Fund.
