HELP SAVE THE WOLVES OF YELLOWSTONE!
Gray wolves were once eradicated from Yellowstone National Park. With the help of supporters like you, we brought them back. Unfortunately, without your help now, the wolves could disappear again.
Help us prevent the slaughter of wolves in the Greater Yellowstone area! Donate now. Because the need is so urgent, the first $25,000 in contributions will be matched dollar-for-dollar by one of our most generous contributors!
Twelve years ago, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service reintroduced 66 wolves into the wildlands of central Idaho and Yellowstone National Park. More than a thousand wolves now live in the wild, playing an important role in area ecosystems and local economies.
Yellowstone’s wolves attract more than 150,000 tourists each year -- visitors that spend an estimated $35 million annually in the area.
But now this success story is at risk of becoming a horror story. Wolf-opponents in the Bush/Cheney Administration, Idaho and Wyoming are teaming up to kill the vast majority of these wolves. Even the wolves of Yellowstone Park could be shot on sight if they leave the safety of the park.
Help us prevent a wolf massacre. Please donate now to help us protect Yellowstone’s wolves and other imperiled wildlife, and your contribution could be matched dollar-for-dollar.
As I write this, it’s pup season for wolves. In the Rocky Mountain wilderness, mother wolves are tending to their newly born young. Let’s make certain that these pups live to see adulthood. Please help us save them…
The Bush/Cheney Administration is pushing for the removal of vital protections for the region's wolves, even as officials in Idaho and Wyoming prepare plans to kill hundreds of wolves.
At a rally earlier this year at the Idaho Capitol, hundreds of wolf opponents showed up to hear Governor C.L. “Butch” Otter promise that the state would kill more than 500 wolves after delisting and say, “I’m going to bid for the first ticket to shoot a wolf.” The Idaho legislature then voted to allow permits to kill wolves for only $9.75.
To make matters worse, the aptly described Idaho Anti-Wolf Coalition has begun a new petition drive to eliminate all wolves from Idaho.
A radio interviewer described the sentiments of the group’s leader, Ron Gillett, as “something more akin to a murderous rage.” Gillett has said he doesn’t care if the wolves are shot or poisoned; he just wants them to disappear from Idaho.
Wyoming’s wolves -- including those who venture outside Yellowstone -- are also in danger. That state plans to kill as many as two-thirds of the wolves within its borders.
With your help, we can stop the massacre. Please donate now to support our efforts to educate the public and defeat these awful proposals.
The federal comment period on the Bush/Cheney Administration’s wolf delisting proposal ends May 9th. Please help us raise $25,000 before then to support our efforts to stop the proposal and our ongoing campaign to oppose the Idaho Anti-Wolf Coalition and others who would kill our wolves.
We’re counting on you!
Sincerely,
