Your Signature is Needed: Hunters are BLOWING UP sleeping bear cubs in dens

URGENT BEAR PETITION: Trophy hunters are KILLING innocent grizzlies for sport. We need better protection for these iconic creatures before it’s too late! [Act Now>>]( As BIG as grizzlies are, it only takes ONE bullet to KILL them Friend. Unfortunately, bloody carcasses of these large mammals have been discovered with more than 20 gunshot wounds! The brutal massacre of grizzly bears and cubs is a VICIOUS game to cruel trophy hunters. They’re using more than just bullets. Weapons range from leg snares, sharp bear traps, and even DYNAMITE. This is not a defense tactic— trophy hunters are PURPOSEFULLY killing innocent bears and cubs for souvenirs. States just outside Yellowstone National Park are a deadly zone for roaming grizzlies. With no understanding of invisible state lines, wandering a few miles outside of Yellowstone could cost a vulnerable mama grizzly and her cubs their lives. Without expanded protection from the Endangered Species Act, the population of our nation’s most iconic mammal will continue to decline. There are now fewer than 2,000 grizzlies remaining in the lower 48 states. With only a few months remaining until hibernation, bear cubs could not withstand losing their mother. No one to help defend them from predators, provide food for nourishment, and provide shelter for their protection and growth. They would be left to die from HYPOTHERMIA or STARVATION. [Please, Friend, we could risk losing more of our beloved grizzlies if we do not demand stronger ESA protections. Sign the petition by 11:59pm TONIGHT to speak up and SAVE grizzly bears and cubs>>]( [SIGN THE PETITION]( In our fight to protect grizzly bears, many far-right lawmakers have been pushing an anti-bear agenda that could roll-back Endangered Species Act protections even FURTHER. Big Polluters and trophy hunting lobbyists are all working hand in hand to aggressively advance dangerous laws that could push grizzlies closer to EXTINCTION. This could mean even more LEGAL heinous acts against helpless grizzly bears and cubs. Standing on the top of the food chain, grizzlies play an important role in our public lands’ ecosystems and biodiversity. If they were to go extinct, we would not only lose our nation’s most treasured species but could experience severe impacts to the ecosystems they inhabit. We cannot imagine a world without them. [We need more of us in this fight, Friend. The future of vulnerable grizzlies cannot be left in the hands of greedy Big Polluters and hunting lobbyists. Will you join us? Take less than 60 seconds right now to PROTECT bear cubs from being KILLED by ruthless trophy hunters>>]( [SIGN THE PETITION]( Thank you for taking action to protect grizzly bears!
