to grow up safe from the fear of being hunted as #pups, to be free from the carte blanche killings of Wyoming's free-for-all "predator zones."
But no gray wolf deserves to meet an end as cruel as this poor Wyoming wolf's death.
That's why, with people like you to stand with us, we're working to put an end to wolf hunts in states like #Wyoming.

According to the article, โโdespite scientific research suggesting that lethal control may not effectively reduce predation, the agency continues to use lethal force. We urge the USDA to think about the implications of their approach and adopt non-lethal methods of wolf management.

but we have seen that wolf populations will slowly regrow in the areas where they are highly protected by the law.
In Spain, wolf poisoning was outlawed -- but no comprehensive conservation plan ever materialized. So now, just a few decades later, the wolves have paid the price. They're gone.
What we can learn from this tragedy is that wolves need strong legal protection to avoid extinction.

Wolves are already protected under the Endangered Species Act in the state, and this is the second pack established this year and third overall. It's clear that California's stance on protecting wolves is working and we'd like to see other states follow suit.

If the commission agrees to reduce protections for wolves, more wolves will be killed both legally and illegally. The department will issue more kill permits to livestock owners and greatly reduce the jailtime and fines for wolf poachers.
The Fish and Wildlife Commission is soliciting comments on whether to remove these protections for wolves.

END THE WOLF HUNTS
#Idaho is doubling down on its goal of slaughtering most of the state's #wolves.
This spring, the Idaho Fish and Game Commission voted unanimously to approve a plan that calls for reducing the wolf population, from more than 1300 to as few as 500.1
If Idaho succeeds, it'll be a heartbreaking slaughter of #GrayWolves across the state.

If passed, wolves in our region would lose federal protections and be subject to wolf hunting as written into law in these states. Previous wolf hunts in the upper midwest have had devastating impacts on wolves.
Please contact your federal legislators, President Biden, & Secretary Haaland and demand continued federal protections for all wolves.

Democratic U.S. Senators Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) and Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) have introduced a bill, misleadingly named the โNorthern Great Lakes Wolf Recovery Actโ in the U.S. Senate. This bill would delist wolves in Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Michiganโs...
It's a small step in the right direction, and shows the positive impact we can make when we raise our voices.
But we can't take our foot off the gas now. Tell the #Montana Fish & Wildlife Commission: End the #wolf hunts.
