Hi John,
More than 800 wolves in Idaho are now in the crosshairs.
The state wants to slaughter 3 out of every 5 wolves who live there — a bloodbath on a scale we've never seen, even in Idaho.
Please help with a gift to the Saving Life on Earth Fund so we can fight back against this violent plan.
Idaho has already taken away the limits on how many wolves a single hunter can kill. It's established a year-round trapping season on private property and extended the use of vicious traps and snares.
Now it wants to escalate its war on wolves to horrifying new levels. Its goal is to cut the wolf population down to just 500.
To kill the most wolves in the least amount of time, Idaho's plan pushes hunting and trapping by offering hefty bounties on dead wolves.
We're on the ground rallying activists — doing all we can to save Idaho's wolves.
Last summer we filed an emergency petition to protect the wolves of the northern Rockies, and Idaho's latest action shows exactly why that federal protection is needed.
We're also pressing the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to withhold federal funding from states that manage wolves and other animals in harmful ways, undermining their essential roles in the landscape.
Idaho has given a thumbs-up to running down wolves in ATVs and snowmobiles. It doesn't deserve the support it gets from U.S. taxpayers to manage wildlife.
Staving off the extinction crisis means saving biodiversity, not eradicating it.
Wolves are smart, social animals who deserve to survive and thrive in their ancestral home.
We won't stand by while a state mistreats its wildlife so cruelly, and I know you won't either.
Please help us protect wolves by giving to the Saving Life on Earth Fund.
For the wild,
