Last year, the state allowed hunters and private contractors to kill as many as 90% of gray wolves in the state! Worst of all, they are even allowed to kill precious Yellowstone wolves that are lured out of the national park. They already killed nearly 500 wolves in the state last year alone, along with 25 Yellowstone wolves, eliminating the iconic Phantom Lake pack in just TWO MONTHS. States in the Northern Rockies continue to resist the consensus of the other states that reinstated wolf protections as of last month. With Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming being home to the largest wolf population in the American West, these wolves are our only chance to ensure that they survive extinction in the country. But trophy hunters have other plans, despite the disastrous consequences. Wolves in the Northern Rockies are suffering horrifying deaths.

Wolf pups are cornered, defenseless in their dens, and often shot to death. Wolves are left panicking as wire neck traps tighten and cut into their flesh in a futile struggle to break free. Others are left reeling in pain with their paws stuck in sharp steel traps for days on end. Some are kept frantically running from ATVs to the point of exhaustion until they are run over or shot. These gruesome and inhumane methods are ones that the Trump administration legalized. This is what America’s iconic wolves are being subjected to in the states where they lack protections, and the death toll is only climbing. The attacks on wolves have also emboldened other extremists to take even more ruthless actions. In Oregon last year, 8 wolves were POISONED to death by poachers in an insidious attack. As a result, an entire wolf pack was eliminated. Choked, shot, and poisoned -- wolves are subjected to gruesome deaths. Make your $27 contribution before midnight tonight.

But we need to team up to protect these precious canines, Friend. We must take a stand against this reckless assault on this iconic species. Otherwise, the consequences could be dire. The loss of wolves would be devastating due to their status as a keystone species. Wolves help keep elk and deer populations in check, allowing other plant and animal species to thrive. The remains of their kill redistribute nutrients and feed scavengers as well. The disappearance of wolves is a serious risk to the ecosystems they help support -- potentially putting other species in GRAVE danger as well. Your membership gift today would mean a second chance for the last 1,600 wolves left in the Northern Rockies, the ecosystems that depend on them, and our planet. And it will allow us to fight private interests like the trophy hunting lobbies and Big Ag to ensure they are held accountable for their ecological destruction. But the wolves are currently being hunted, and we have no time to lose. Make your contribution of $27 or more to Friends of the Earth before midnight TONIGHT to help us reach our $4,000 goal! We can’t allow anti-wolf extremists to decimate our remaining wolves. Stand up for these iconic canines and our planet with your $27 contribution today.
