Baby bears are confused and frightened. Will you read this message, Friend

Red spatters the forest floor. A mother grizzly groans in agony as she slowly bleeds out from a hunter’s bullets. Red spatters the forest floor. A mother grizzly groans in agony as she slowly bleeds out from a hunter’s bullets. Confused and frightened, her baby cubs nuzzle her mangled body – seeking comfort that will never come. As the sun goes down, hypothermia sets in and the cubs die hungry and afraid. We can't let this scene keep repeating. [EARLY ENDANGERED SPECIES DAY ACCESS FOR {EMAIL}]( Friend, mama bears will do almost anything to protect their young cubs – even when they’re weak from hibernation. Because just like human babies, bear cubs simply can’t fend for themselves or survive unprotected out in the world. That’s why we’re outraged that trophy hunters want to target vulnerable mamas after a long winter – when their precious cubs need them the most! Tomorrow is Endangered Species Day, and we have an obligation to fight back and safeguard the Endangered Species Act for threatened wildlife like grizzlies and protect our planet before the next generation of bear cubs is wiped out by hunters’ heartless cruelty. That’s why Friends of the Earth set a goal to raise $30,000 – by 11:59 p.m. TONIGHT – to help stop trophy hunters, their corporate allies, and corrupt politicians from DESTROYING the Endangered Species Act (ESA) and protect our planet! I’m personally reaching out to top supporters like you right away, because I know that you care as much as we do about protecting our planet and ALL its inhabitants. When you give using your custom link below, we can immediately see your impact for our planet and the majestic species that call it home. So please: [Will you give $10 or more to Friends of the Earth now to help reach our must-hit $30,000 goal and continue the fight to protect endangered species and our only Earth?]( [EARLY ENDANGERED SPECIES DAY ACCESS FOR {EMAIL}]( The ESA is one of our greatest tools in the fight to protect precious wildlife like grizzlies from EXTINCTION. But that’s exactly why trophy hunters and their buddies in destructive industries are launching an all-out attack against it. Because it doesn’t just protect grizzlies – it can also BLOCK mega-polluting projects from destroying the lands and waters that sustain them and countless other species. But all of that could soon change, leaving grizzlies vulnerable. Drilling, mining and logging corporations have teamed up with the trophy hunting lobby to legally DISMANTLE the ESA and rip open vital wildlife habitats to extreme bloodshed and pollution. That’s not all. Supporters like you know that this kind of ecological destruction harms ALL communities. It means toxic contamination in our air, soil and waterways. It means Big Oil can unleash even more climate-wrecking pollution and put ecosystems at risk. And it means communities will have to work even harder to fight against dangerous projects that damage our health and push marginalized neighborhoods into early graves. But it doesn’t have to be this way. We CAN strengthen the Endangered Species Act and ensure we have this vital tool as we continue our critical work for the planet and everything that lives on it. But we’re counting on your early membership support to help hit our crucial Endangered Species Day goal so we can keep fighting for all our futures.
