This could save hundreds of wolves from cruel killings

Idaho: 389. Montana: 286. Wyoming: 98.

That’s how many wolves died last hunting season in states where wolves aren’t federally protected.

It doesn’t have to be like this.

If we extend federal Endangered Species Act (ESA) protections to wolves in the Northern Rockies, we can save hundreds from the neck snares, helicopter hunts, and snowmobile hits that kill them.

Hunters are killing wolves with cruel tactics

It’s impossible to know how each hunted wolf met their end. Were they chased by a snowmobile moving 120 mph? Lured away by a hunter’s bait? Shot out of the blue from a helicopter above?

We know how one wolf met her end last hunting season. Remember Theia? Chased and hit by a hunter on a snowmobile. Duct taped and driven into town. Paraded around a bar and shot out back.

Wolves don’t deserve to die like this

Wolves don’t deserve to die like this — they don’t deserve to be hunted at all. And it’s possible to prevent these senseless killings and prevent the deaths of hundreds more wolves.

How? With one rule change.

To help save these wolves, w need to call on Secretary Haaland to give wolves in the Northern Rockies ESA protections today.

Take action to save the wolves

What does life look like for wolves when they’re not federally protected?

From the moment they’re born, they’re subject to slaughter. Hunters can track nursing moms, locate their dens, and burn wolf pups alive. When they’re older, they’re baited away from their packs and shot. Or, worse, they’re caught in neck snares where they could starve to death.

But what could it look like? If we protect wolves in the Northern Rockies, we can make sure that these wolves are safe to grow, roam, and play with their packs across the lands they call home.
