A helpless wolf pup frantically scrambles through the snow, leaving tiny red pawprints and her mother’s mangled body behind her. With just one shot from a trophy hunter’s gun, her family has been decimated and she is orphaned. This innocent pup has just left her den for the first time, and now she is running for her life in fear of meeting the same fate as her mama. Friend, don’t let trophy hunters continue tearing apart wolf families: Donate $27 before midnight to help us reach our $4,060 goal to help protect vulnerable wolves and the planet.
Left without her mother’s protection, this baby wolf pup is susceptible to starvation, hypothermia, and predation. What’s more -- she could meet the same fate as her mother, or worse. The states that border Yellowstone still have no safeguards to help protect vulnerable gray wolves from vicious trophy hunters and their inhumane practices!
The clock is ticking for wolves, who still occupy less than 10% of their historic range -- but thanks to members like you, we’re confident we can protect wolves and the planet before the loss is too great. But we’re facing intense pushback from trophy hunters and Big Oil lobbies fighting to brutally murder these precious creatures for sport and take over their homelands for profit. That’s why wolves need your help now more than ever!
Don’t let trophy hunters continue to sacrifice innocent wolves for the sake of corporate greed. Donate $27 or more now to protect wolves and the planet!

The news is eye-opening: only 6,000 wolves remain in the lower 48 states -- and the slaughter shows no signs of stopping. A recent report found that poaching is a substantial threat to wolves, especially during state-sanctioned hunts. But it’s not enough for trophy hunters to simply kill vulnerable wolves -- this hunting season, wolves are suffering some of the most vicious hunting practices we’ve seen.
Montana, Idaho, and Wyoming allow some of the most horrific hunting practices, like choking wolves to death in snares, running them over with snowmobiles, and even dynamiting nursing wolf mothers and pups in their dens! Baby wolf pups who manage to survive longer than their mothers are left orphaned and alone in the world to suffer from starvation, hypothermia, and predation.
Although some states offer protections for wolves, these precious canines aren’t bound by state lines. They often roam into neighboring states like Wyoming, where it’s legal to hunt them at any time, even without a permit. Even wolves in Yellowstone aren’t safe from the slaughter -- the park recently lost a record high of 25 wolves, leaving only 89.
What’s worse -- trophy hunters are actively pushing against protections for these helpless creatures! Montana and Idaho have passed laws legalizing helicopter chases, and the Biden administration has gone so far as to file an appeal to remove some critical protection for wolves, which could push this vulnerable species closer to extinction. Friend, how long will we let this pattern continue?
These vicious hunting practices can’t continue. Rush your $27 donation and help us reach our $4,060 goal by midnight tonight!

Last year, three baby wolf pups were born to the only wolf pack left in Colorado. The pups were suspected to be the first wolves born in Colorado in 80 years. Protected by the state, they were a symbol of hope for repopulation efforts. But the second they set their tiny paws onto Wyoming soil, they became fair game for trophy hunters to legally murder, even without a permit.
Sure enough, three mangled, bloody young wolf carcasses were found across Wyoming state lines.
Wolves are intelligent creatures that are vital to their ecosystems. They help keep elk and deer populations in check, allowing other plant and animal species to flourish. The remains of their kill redistribute nutrients and feed scavengers. But their recovery is under threat as states in the northern Rockies refuse to grant them ESA protections, and others are selling off the public lands they live in, shrinking the areas where they can be safe.
These attacks on ESA protections are signaling the demise of many beloved and iconic creatures like our wolves. We don’t have much time to protect America’s wolves before they disappear forever. Friend, your membership gift today can help save wolves from these vicious attacks and protect the future of our planet. But we are facing pushback from private trophy-hunting interests and Big Polluters, and we need to step up our efforts before it’s too late. Will you donate $27 or more before the loss is too great?
Protect the remaining wolves from greedy private interests. Donate $27 before the clock strikes midnight and help us reach our $4,060 goal for wolves and the planet.
