Then, he taped her mouth shut to drown out her wails of pain. Next, he shocked her with a shock collar over and over. Finally, he dragged her outside and SHOT her – but not before posing for photos with this suffering creature. The punishment given to this Wyoming hunter? A $250 fine. But the lives of wolves like Theia are PRICELESS, Friend. And the hunters torturing and killing them can’t get away with their disgusting actions. [We can’t bear to see another wolf meet Theia’s fate: please, donate $10 or more today and help us reach our $3,500 goal to protect vulnerable wildlife and our planet!]( Thanks to a lack of Endangered Species Act protections for wolves, this kind of brutal treatment is all too common for wolves like Theia. And Wyoming hunters are getting a free pass to torture and kill them for “fun” – receiving little to no punishment for the inhumane treatment of helpless wildlife. Without urgent action to strengthen the Endangered Species Act and win federal protections for wolves, we could lose this vulnerable species forever. And we could see more and more animals tortured in the process. It isn’t right, Friend – that’s why we need you to fight with us today. Trophy hunters are torturing and killing innocent wolves.

But even the strongest wolves are no match for the barbaric hunting methods being unleashed by trophy hunters across the country. Massive rifles fully loaded with rounds of bullets. Powerful steel snares designed to choke and mangle a helpless wolf. Even high-speed snowmobiles used to chase down and run over terrified wolves like Theia. But it gets worse. We don’t know if Theia had any babies – but if she did, they would be in serious danger. Left alone without protection, orphaned wolf pups face an almost-certain death to hypothermia or starvation. These poor babies are too weak and fragile to survive without their mother. Friend, trophy hunters are allowed to tear apart wolf families like this with no consequences. The next generation of wolves and the future of this vulnerable species is at risk if we don’t act soon to protect our country’s wildlife. These voiceless four-legged mammals are depending on us to speak up for them and STOP them from being pushed to EXTINCTION at the hands of ruthless trophy hunters. Ask yourself: is a trophy hunter’s sick desire to watch animals suffer and die worth losing iconic wildlife like wolves? The future of wolves is at stake.

The fossil fuel industry and corrupt politicians are joining forces with trophy hunters to REMOVE the few safeguards wolves still have. But only 6,000 wolves remain in the lower 48 states. This vulnerable species is hanging on by a thread – and losing their protections would seal their fate. All so trophy hunters can kill for “fun” and Big Polluters can line their pockets no matter the cost to wildlife and the planet. Unless we act immediately, anti-wolf hunters and corporations will get their way and wipe out gray wolves in the Northern Rockies for good. Driven by corporate greed and selfish interests, they’ll ravage wolves’ habitats for fossil fuel development – leaving no possibility of recovery for vulnerable wolves. It’s up to us to stop them and protect wildlife and our planet, Friend. Friends of the Earth is working to strengthen the Endangered Species Act and protect the wildlife that depends on it. A vital piece of legislation, the ESA allows us to shield endangered species from violence. Even more, it gives us the power to block destructive industries like Big Oil, logging, and factory farming from destroying critical habitats for profit. Your membership gift today can help us defend the ESA, protect vulnerable wildlife, and ensure a future for our only Earth. But we’re up against the trophy hunting lobby and Big Polluters that will fight tooth and nail to get their way. And we only have until midnight tonight to meet our $3,500 goal – so will you be one of the generous donors that helps us get there and make real change for vulnerable wildlife and the planet? Big Polluters and trophy hunters may soon drive wolves to extinction. Donate $10 today and help us hit our $3,500 fundraising goal for wildlife and our planet by midnight tonight!
