[[link removed]]An Oregon wolf limps along near Klamath Falls, stepping delicately on his
injured paw while looking for food to survive against all odds, especially after four other Oregon wolves were illegally killed in his state last year. But suddenly, he falls to the ground -- dead -- his blood splattered across the
fall leaves. He is now the latest victim of poaching in the state, a number that
tragically keeps climbing. Help protect precious wolves and our planet before it’s too late and make your
contribution of $27 or more to help us reach our $5,100 goal before our midnight
deadline.

In the last couple of decades, 34 wolves were illegally killed in Oregon due to poaching. Yet, only three of those untimely and vicious deaths led to arrests and
convictions. The news came after a report that outlines a key finding: Poaching
is a substantial threat to wolves, especially during state-sanctioned hunts. Instances of poaching during these seasons increased by an astonishing 658%!
With states like those in the northern Rockies continuing to allow the brutal
hunting of one of America’s most iconic species, wolves will continue to be in
danger everywhere, and it us up to members like you to help in the fight to
protect them. We are up against the trophy hunting lobby and Big Polluters who
are looking to use wolves’ lands for their own profit, so we need to fight tooth
and nail while there is still a chance.
Help us work quickly to protect wolves and our planet before the loss is too
great: make your contribution of $27 or more before midnight tonight!

[[link removed]]The ways these wolves are being slaughtered are even more barbaric than you
think. Wolves are left reeling in pain with their paws stuck in steel traps for days on end. Panic ensues when the wire from neck snares cut into wolves’ necks, slowly choking them to death in a futile struggle to break free. And others frantically run as they are
outnumbered and chased by bloodhounds; their flesh being torn apart as they eventually succumb to the fate of an uneven match.
We’ve already lost three young wolves, canines that were critical to the
repopulation efforts in Colorado. In fact, they are suspected to be the pups
that were born the previous year -- the first wolf pups to be born in the wild in the past 80 years for Colorado. It is a tragedy to lose even one innocent wolf, but this is truly
devastating.
Wolves are not bound by state lines -- once they set a paw in northern Rockies
territories, they could be shot on sight. This is especially tragic for
Yellowstone wolves -- 25 of which were shot dead as soon as they wandered
outside of the National Park -- a record high. This included the deaths of an
ENTIRE Yellowstone wolf pack, leaving only 89 wolves in the park.
The survival of wolves is in jeopardy with the relentless attacks from all
sides. Yet, trophy hunters continue to put their own private interests above the
survival of entire species with their vendetta against these vulnerable canines.
Their actions have contributed to the gutting of the Endangered Species Act and
protections for wolves, bears, and other vulnerable species.
Don’t let trophy hunters paint forests red with the blood of vulnerable wolf
pups. Donate $27 or more today to fight for the protection of wolves and our
planet.

[[link removed]]These attacks on ESA protections are signaling the demise of many beloved and
iconic creatures like our wolves. With only 6,000 wolves left in the lower 48
states, we don’t have much time to protect America’s wolves before they
disappear forever.
Their disappearance would spell disaster for surrounding ecosystems. Wolves 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. They play a vital role in our wild spaces, but if they are wiped
out, the balance can be irreparably thrown off, risking other species in the
process.
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 we need to step up
our efforts before it’s too late. Will you make a contribution of $27 or more
today?
Wolves and our planet are in danger. Make your $27 contribution before the clock
strikes midnight!
