Your Signature is Needed: Nearly 100 gray wolf packs lose pups from extremist hunt

Dear Friend, Stop extremist hunters from killing gray wolves! [Sign Now]( Last week President Biden upheld Trump’s move to gut protections for gray wolves -- allowing hunters to dynamite wolf pups in their dens. [Take action now.]( During the height of breeding season, Wisconsin held its first wolf hunt in years. The state issued 2,400 hunting tags -- nearly double the number of wolves surviving in the state. Within hours hunters blew past the allotted quota and killed breeding females and adult males. Nearly 100 packs lost their ability to have pups this year. Wolves are already vulnerable. The Department of Interior needs to act before it’s too late. Demand gray wolves receive emergency protection under the Endangered Species Act. [Sign Now]( The Department of the Interior has given hunters the green light to use barbaric hunting tactics to decimate wolf populations. Wolf pups are blown up with dynamite in their dens. Hunters are using helicopters, ATVs, and night vision equipment to track wolves. They’re setting snares under brush to choke wolves as they struggle to break free. And hunting hounds are pursuing and circling frightened wolves until hunters can kill them. These barbaric hunting tactics threaten to nearly wipe out gray wolves. But the Department of the Interior could stop them. Take action to protect gray wolves before it’s too late. [Sign Now]( Wisconsin is holding another wolf hunt this fall. This hunt will double the number of wolves that hunters are allowed to kill. Wisconsin’s spring wolf hunt already killed 91 females -- 65% of which may have been pregnant. Gray wolves around the country are being tortured and killed -- legally. Wolves need you, Friend. Their lives are at risk if we don’t act fast. Demand the Department of Interior protect gray wolves immediately.
