Hi John,
Sixteen gray wolves have been killed so far this hunting season in Wyoming. Countless more could be slaughtered by the end of the year.
Each death shatters a wolf family, breaks up a breeding pair or orphans a litter of pups.
Please give today to the Center's Predator Defense Fund.
In Wyoming just $21 buys a license to kill wolves.
Only 152 wolves remain there. The state will allow up to 34 of them to be gunned down this year in the trophy-hunting zone alone, in addition to unlimited killing year-round in the state's "predatory" zone.
What's taking place in Wyoming could become common throughout the country.
Idaho and Montana already have aggressive wolf-hunting seasons. Now Trump plans to strip gray wolves of their endangered species protection across the lower 48 states. That would lead to more attacks on these beautiful, loyal animals.
States beholden to special interests are eager to let wolves be hunted. They must be stopped so these magnificent creatures can reclaim their habitat and fully recover.
We went to court to save gray wolves.We're fighting for a national recovery plan that would restore wolves to places like the northeastern U.S. — instead of turning management over to states dead set on killing wolves.
Without protection they could be shot on sight, crushed in steel traps, strangled in snares and poisoned in their dens. The bonds that form within packs will be shattered.
Wolves need to be allowed to raise their pups free of the threat of traps or a trophy hunter's gun.
No one fights harder to save wolves than the Center. We know how to win in the courts and in the halls of power — but we can't do it without you.
Help end the war on wolves by donating to the Center's Predator Defense Fund.
For the wild,
