Save Our Wolves (with Video)
Rodger Schlickeisen, Defenders of Wildlife"
Wolves were eliminated from this area in the last century -- trapped, poisoned, hunted and harassed. Their re-introduction to Yellowstone National Park and Central Idaho in the mid-1990s was a major conservation accomplishment.
Now that achievement is at risk as officials in Idaho and Wyoming gear up to kill hundreds of wolves.
In February, officials in the Bush/Cheney Administration proposed removing gray wolves in the Northern Rockies from the Endangered Species List… and turning over management of wolves to Idaho and Wyoming -- two states more concerned with eliminating wolves than managing them.
Lawmakers and anti-wolf extremists in Idaho and Wyoming have already announced plans to kill hundreds of wolves, putting the gray wolf’s future in the American West at risk.
More than 111,000 Defenders supporters have already taken action. Please help us reach our 200,000 signature goal by May 9th.
Help save wolves. Watch this video and take action to prevent the slaughter.
There are just 8 days remaining in the public comment period on this awful proposal. Please take action now!

Save Our Wolves.
We have just 8 days left to reach our goal of 200,000 signatures to save hundreds of wolves in the Greater Yellowstone area and elsewhere in Idaho and Wyoming. Please take action now…
What’s at Stake
Idaho officials want to kill more than 80% of the wolves within the state, allowing a wolf to be killed for as little as $9.75.
Wyoming wants to kill as many as 2/3 of the wolves within its borders.
Yellowstone wolves, which bring millions of tourist dollars to the area, could be shot on sight if they leave the safety of the park’s borders.
