Idaho Plan Could Exterminate 26 Wolf Packs
Rogdger Schlickeisen, Defeners of Wildlife
Idaho’s Department of Fish and Game has announced that they will target the Buffalo Ridge pack -- and 25 more packs -- for extermination once U.S. Interior Secretary Ken Salazar’s decision to eliminate life-saving federal protections goes into effect on May 4th.
The killing could begin in just 19 days! Please make a donation of $25.00, $50.00, $100.00 or whatever you can afford to support our Northern Rockies and Greater Yellowstone Wolf Legal Defense Fund and our vital on-the-ground efforts to save wolves.
Defenders of Wildlife has launched emergency legal action and has been involved with on-the-ground efforts in an attempt to save the lives of these and other wolves in the Northern Rockies, but we need your compassionate support to win this fight.
Unless we prevail in court -- something we’ve done before -- most of Idaho’s wolves could be killed. Entire packs will be removed from Idaho -- some with newborn pups that won’t have a chance for survival once the killing starts.
The Buffalo Ridge pack in central Idaho is just one of the 26 packs targeted for removal under Idaho’s new proposal. Eight members of this pack have already been killed after ranchers reported livestock losses -- and more will die under the department’s new proposal.
These deaths could be prevented with the use of nonlethal methods to prevent livestock losses -- methods whose effectiveness has been proven with Defenders of Wildlife’s proactive wildlife management programs in the Northern Rockies.
But using these methods means that wolves must be managed for their conservation, not their elimination -- an approach made nearly impossible under Idaho’s overly aggressive wolf killing plan.
Your donation of $25.00, $50.00, $100.00 or whatever you can afford today will help us fight in court to save the lives of Buffalo Ridge wolves and work on the ground to keep wolves away from livestock… and out of danger.
Help us raise $75,000 by May 4th to support our efforts to save the lives of wolves in the Buffalo Ridge pack and other packs.
No other national conservation group in America has a longer history of advocating for wolves or as many on-the-ground resources dedicated to ensuring the future of these magnificent animals in the American West.
But we need your support to save the lives of the Buffalo Ridge pack and other wolves threatened by Idaho’s ill-conceived wolf plans. Please make a donation today to support our efforts.
