Hi John,
Four wolves in northeastern Washington were found dead earlier this year along a snowmobile path.
It's assumed they were poisoned, which would have caused them immense suffering.
Please help us in our work to save wolves with a gift to the Saving Life on Earth Fund. Only a week remains to have your gift matched.
There was no physical trauma found on the wolves, which suggests poisoning as the cause of death. Only at the end of May did the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife alert the public that an investigation is underway.
The Center for Biological Diversity has joined with allies to offer a reward for information leading to a conviction.
These illegal killings can't stand. Poachers who kill wolves and put other wildlife — and even people — at risk must be caught.
On top of pursuing justice for these victims, we're on the ground in Washington pushing state officials to help save the wolves who are left.
We filed a petition demanding enforceable, transparent rules for how the species is managed.
We want the state to follow science instead of issuing kill orders that have led to the senseless deaths of 36 state-endangered wolves, including pups too young to hunt.
We're doing all we can to protect wolves across the country. Just last week we took legal action to secure federal Endangered Species Act protection for those in Idaho, Montana and Wyoming.
But even in states where wolves have some level of state and federal protections, like Washington, danger hovers. To keep these animals on the path to recovery, we have to stay vigilant.
That's why our team of activists, lawyers and scientists are working every angle, every day to save wolves and all species at risk of extinction.
The Center has secured protection for 727 species and more than half a billion acres of habitat. This lifesaving work is what we're called to do, and we need you with us.
Please give today to the Saving Life on Earth Fund before a matching gift opportunity expires.
For the wild,
