Sign The Petition: Violent trophy hunters are massacring bear families

It was a long, cold winter for you during hibernation season, Friend. You’re a mama bear in the den with your newborn cubs who are growing fussy and restless. It was a long, cold winter for you during hibernation season, Friend. You’re a mama bear in the den with your newborn cubs who are growing fussy and restless. Your babies are hungry, but you are running low on energy. You must go out and find something soon so that you can nourish and nurse your fragile younglings. But JUST before you can make it back home, you are suddenly hit by a violent flurry of lead bullets that pierce right through your fur and flesh. Shock waves pulse through your body and forcibly push you to the ground as you cry out in excruciating anguish. While you lay motionless in agonizing pain on the forest floor, you see one of your sweet cubs peeking out of the den. You look tearfully into your terrified baby’s eyes, completely helpless to the fact that your weak cubs will not survive without you — and there is nothing left you can do to protect them. While you are reading this email, mama bears and vulnerable cubs are in danger of meeting a tragic and gruesome fate just like this one, Friend. Cruel trophy hunters are targeting species' protections so they can recklessly slaughter harmless grizzlies and exterminate entire bear families. We MUST do something immediately to prevent this bloody massacre before more innocent bears suffer brutal murders and the entire grizzly population is VIOLENTLY WIPED OUT by these vicious killers! [Will you please take action right away to help protect our precious grizzly bears from brutal trophy hunters? Add your name now — before it’s too late to SAVE this treasured mammal from EXTINCTION >>]( [SIGN THE PETITION]( There’s a reason why the term “mama bear” is commonly used to describe fierce maternal protectors of any species. These iconic animals have a keen natural instinct to care for their offspring and will do anything to keep their cubs safe. But even the bravest mama bears are no match for merciless trophy hunters. From tortuous choking snares and painful leg traps to explosive dynamite used to blow up sleeping bear cubs in their dens, hunters will execute grizzlies with some of the most horrific methods fathomable. Now, extremist lawmakers and their hunting lobby allies are aggressively pushing anti-bear legislation that would REMOVE the few remaining federal protections these animals have left. Without these life-saving Endangered Species Act (ESA) safeguards in place, the last of North America’s magnificent grizzly bears stand little to no chance of survival against ruthless trophy hunters. You have an important choice to make today, Friend. And as one of our most dedicated grassroots environmentalists, we’re really hoping that you’ll do right by our precious grizzly bears while there’s still time: [Are you going to sit back while innocent mama bears and helpless cubs are violently murdered? Or will you step up and be a voice for these defenseless animals right now? TAKE ACTION: Demand federal ESA protections for grizzly bears immediately!>>]( [SIGN THE PETITION]( Thanks for protecting our precious grizzlies, Friends of the Earth Contact Us: Friends of the Earth U.S. Washington, D.C. | Berkeley, CA PO Box 7010 Merrifield, VA 22116-7010 1-877-843-8687 [Contact us](foe.org/about-us/contact/) Email Preferences: [Click here to unsubscribe]( Learn more: www.foe.org/news www.foe.org/about-us www.foeaction.org Connect: [Facebook]( [Twitter]( [Flickr]( © 2024, Friends of the Earth.
