Defender,

A newly elected slate of extremist legislators in Montana have turned their sights on Montana’s wolves.

They’re scrambling to pass a slew of bills to allow the killing of as many wolves as possible – and if their gruesome plans are enacted, no wolf in Montana will be safe.

Shut down these assaults on wolves and other wildlife. Pitch in to help fight back against anti-wildlife extremists and other deadly threats to vulnerable animals!

It’s clear that Montana’s new lawmakers are writing a death sentence for the state’s wolves. Their anticipated list of cruel and lethal proposals includes:

Letting each hunter and trapper kill many more wolves than before;
Allowing wolves to be hunted at night;
Allowing the use of snares to capture and kill wolves; and
Reclassifying wolves in Montana to make it easier to kill wolves anytime of the year

PITCH IN TO PROTECT WOLVES AND OTHER WILDLIFE

For years, Congress has turned its back on America’s wolves. Now, with gray wolves federally delisted from the Endangered Species Act (ESA), the door is open for more states to destroy longstanding protections for wolves and other vulnerable wildlife. These new proposals in the Montana legislature could be a terrifying glimpse of a future dominated by rogue states – unless we fight back.

Defenders has been at the forefront of gray wolf recovery since the first wolves were released in Yellowstone National Park 25 years ago. Wolf restoration has been one of our nation’s most cherished comeback stories, but extremists are determined to try to reverse the wolves’ hard-won gains.

We’re not going to let these attacks go unanswered. We’re fighting tirelessly to end anti-wolf propaganda and keep wolf recovery going across the nation – and your support will help make sure we succeed!

Wolves belong in Montana and across their historic range. They are part of the wild legacy we leave future generations. Please help us stop these deadly threats to the wildlife you and I love.

Thanks for all you do for wolves and other wild creatures.

Sincerely,
