Wolves: "Shoot on Sight... We Will Sort It Out Later."
Rodger Schlickeisen, Defenders of Wildlife
Defenders of Wildlife is making important progress in our fight to save the lives of wolves in Greater Yellowstone and the northern Rockies.
Defenders Executive Vice President (and former head of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service) Jamie Rappaport Clark has been urging the Obama administration to restore protections for these wolves. And it is clear that we have a very strong legal case against the wolf de-listing.
Nonetheless, more than 160 formerly protected wolves have already been killed, including members of Yellowstone’s famed Cottonwood pack. Now is a crucial time in our work to save these magnificent animals, and we have to keep pushing to save these wolves.
This new video billboard will help us reach our campaign goal of delivering 125,000 messages in support of renewed protections for our wolves to Interior Secretary Salazar.
Thanks to the compassionate support of caring people like you, our first ad has been up and running in Times Square, highlighting the terrible killing of some of America’s most beloved wolves.
We’ve mobilized more than 94,000 caring wildlife activists to call on Interior Secretary Ken Salazar to restore protections for these magnificent animals -- messages that Defenders of Wildlife’s Jamie Rappaport Clark will personally deliver to the Department of Interior before the end of the month.
We are at a critical juncture in this fight. Please donate what you can today to support our efforts, and stay tuned for breaking developments.
For the Wild Ones,
