We can win the war against wolves!
Jamie Rappaport Clark, Defenders of Wildlife
Across the Northern Rockies and beyond, anti-wolf extremists are mounting a well-funded and unrelenting attack.
More than 1,100 wolves have been killed as a result of hunting and trapping in the Northern Rockies since Congress stripped them of Endangered Species Act protection in 2011.
- The governor of Montana recently signed a bill into law that prohibits state wildlife officials from establishing protective buffer zones along national park borders, a measure that would have helped protect Yellowstone wolves.
- In Utah, a shameful and fiscally-irresponsible proposal by anti-wolf extremists just passed out of committee. If finalized, this measure will allocate $300,000 of taxpayer money to anti-wolf lobbying efforts in Washington D.C. – aiming to strip the last shreds of federal protection for nearly all gray wolves across the Lower 48.
- In Idaho, state officials approved a proposal to pay Wildlife Services $50,000 to kill more wolves.
We’re witnessing firsthand what happens when the fate of wolves is turned over to states with extreme anti-wolf management plans in place.
It's hard to fathom that earlier in the month, Wyoming opened even more of their state to the unlimited killing of wolves!
