Hi John,

Four wolves in northeastern Washington were found dead along a snowmobile path earlier this year. The state just announced the deaths of two more.

It is believed that all six wolves were from the Wedge pack in Stevens County — and all died from ingesting poison, which must have caused them immense suffering.

Please help us save wolves by giving to the Saving Life on Earth Fund. Your gift today will be doubled.

Only at the end of May did the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife alert the public of the deaths of four wolves early this year and that an investigation is underway. And then, just weeks ago, it confirmed two more wolves had been killed.

The Center for Biological Diversity has joined with allies to offer a reward for information leading to a conviction.

Poachers must be caught and held to account. The state can't let the persecution of wolves go unchecked.

And wildlife officials must do more to save the wolves who are left.

The state's trigger-happy approach to managing imperiled wolves has already left a trail of destruction. Since 2012 it has killed 40 state-endangered wolves — at the behest of livestock operators.

So we filed a petition demanding enforceable, transparent rules for how wolves are managed.

We want the state to follow science, not wipe out packs and slaughter wolf pups too young to hunt.

Even in states where wolves have some level of state and federal protection, like Washington, wolves are being brutally killed. We see it in Oregon, too — and in the Southwest, where endangered Mexican gray wolves are killed with impunity.

Our team of activists, lawyers and scientists is working every angle, every day to save wolves and all species at risk of extinction.

This lifesaving work is what we're called to do, and it's your support that makes it possible.

Please make a matched gift today to the Saving Life on Earth Fund.
