Tell Secretary Jewell: Stop the wolf killing contests!
Jamie Rappoport Clark, Defenders of Wildlife
Shocking news.
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has just approved a commercial wolf and predator-killing derby in Idaho. What’s worse, the agency has authorized the event to take place once every year for the next five years!
Secretary of the Interior, Sally Jewell, has the power to reverse this decision. She needs to use it.
Introduced by a “hunters’ rights organization,” this kill-fest will make a competitive, commercialized sport of killing wolves and other predators. And, it will take place on federal public land – that’s land that belongs to you and me!
Contests like these have no place in the 21st Century. They are a throwback to times past, when wolves and other predators were seen as vermin. The federal government shouldn’t be encouraging and endorsing this outdated thinking, and it certainly shouldn’t be hosting thrill kill competitions.
Please take action TODAY, and help us stop this atrocious event!
Thank you for all you do.
Sincerely,
 |
Jamie Rappaport Clark President Defenders of Wildlife |
