Stop the Wyoming wolf hunt

The last sound Theia ever heard was a gun going off.

But that wasn’t where her tragedy began. This Wyoming wolf was just one year old when she was run down and crippled by a snowmobile.

Still clinging to life, she was dragged by a hunter to a bar, and paraded around with her mouth duct-taped shut. Eventually, he brought her out back and ended her life.

No wolf deserves to have their life ended this way.

Wolves are in the crosshairs in Wyoming this winter

We wish we could say that Theia’s story was unique. But social media is rife with videos of hunters running down wildlife with snowmobiles — and that’s just the tip of the iceberg.

38 wolves will be hunted down and killed in the parts of the state that border Yellowstone National Park. And in 85% of the state, an unlimited number of wolves can be killed for any reason, at any time, without permits or reporting.

Wyoming’s no-holds-barred slaughter of wolves has to stop.

Take action to help save the wolves

Wolves were once hunted to the very brink of extinction in the Lower 48 states. Since the passage of the Endangered Species Act in the 1970s, the wolf’s first steps toward recovery has been one of our nation’s most inspiring conservation success stories.

We can’t go back. We can’t leave a country for future generations where wolves have been wiped out again.

When the lives of wolves are at stake, every voice counts. Wolves are depending on us — will you take action today?
