Sign The Petition: How many more innocent bear cubs need to die before we see real action?

Mama bear is brave and bold and will do anything to protect her babies — even fight to the death. She’s not scared of death: she has already stood her ground and fought off vicious predators. Mama bear is brave and bold and will do anything to protect her babies — even fight to the death. She’s not scared of death: she has already stood her ground and fought off vicious predators. But it’s all to serve her greater life purpose: protect her cubs at all costs. But when mama bear leaves the den to forage for food to nourish her cubs, she is suddenly bombarded with a shower of piercing rifle bullets ripping through her flesh. She screams out in excruciating pain, thrashing about, as her body attempts to go into survival mode. But that determination to live is rooted in something deeper: her primary instinct to care for her cubs. So while she is taking her final breath on Earth, she realizes her worst nightmare has come true — it’s not dying, but the failure to protect her precious babies. Because she knows the horrific truth that her delicate little cubs are far too weak to survive on their own. And if the cruel hunters don’t find the den and MURDER her cubs first, nature will soon run its harsh course, and these baby bears will likely die of hypothermia or starvation. Look, Friend, these sad stories aren’t just some marketing gimmick. If it seems like we tell these graphic scenes of animals being unjustly murdered by hunters A LOT, it’s because similar true stories do happen A LOT. Our goal is to help you understand the dangerous scenarios and threats that bear families face against cruel trophy hunters every single day. The tragic fact of the matter is this, Friend → Ruthless trophy hunters are violently slaughtering grizzly bears in droves — and we NEED concrete policy solutions to rein in these reckless hunters and prevent the remaining grizzly population from being completely annihilated. [Every moment of inaction puts mama bears and their cubs one step closer to EXTINCTION. So please, won’t you step up in defense of these beloved animals today? Add your name now to help save grizzly bears from being brutally wiped out by trophy hunters >>]( [Sign the petition]( The Endangered Species Act (ESA) is one of our best lines of defense to keep innocent grizzly bears safe from vicious trophy hunters — but right now, the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service (FWS) is actually considering DELISTING grizzlies from these crucial federal protections! This fateful FWS decision could go one of two extreme ways: A) It could reverse decades of conservation efforts to restore one of America’s most iconic mammals and push grizzly bears closer to extinction at the hands of merciless hunters. B) Or, it could save countless bear lives and stop the bloody massacre of this nationally treasured keystone species. The future existence of grizzlies is hanging in the balance, hinging on FWS’s next move, Friend. Your action today will have a direct impact on urging the agency to do the right thing for these beloved bears. We can’t let the powerful hunting lobby and their extremist political allies succeed in bullying the EPA into delisting grizzlies from the ESA. We urgently need to build strong public pressure in order to convince the agency to prioritize the survival of this keystone species above Big Polluter profits and political special interests. [These animals can’t speak up to defend themselves, so it’s up to us to be their voice, Friend. Can innocent grizzlies count on you to fight for them today?
