“A slap in the face” to wildlife.

TRIPLE your impact to save endangered species. ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ [Three Coastal Brown Bears Cuddling Together © KAR Photography/Alamy Stock Photo]( Defender, This dangerous bill is a “slap in the face” to wildlife and takes aim right at the heart of the Endangered Species Act. Anti-wildlife extremists in Congress have done it again. If passed, the outrageous ESA Flexibility Act would gut core ESA protections that safeguard endangered and threatened wildlife, including wolves and grizzly bears, from being killed, harmed, or harassed. While an unprecedented global extinction crisis rages on, the anti-wildlife members in Congress continue their relentless barrage of dangerous wildlife-killing legislation. GIVE $10 (BECOMES $30)!

Matt Rosendale (R-MT) and Harriet Hageman (R-WY) who are trying to make it even easier to kill grizzly bears around Yellowstone National Park and Glacier National Park.
