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

URGENT BEAR PETITION: Grizzly bear cubs need their mother to survive this winter. [Sign the petition to save them from CRUEL trophy hunters>>]( At this time of year, mama grizzly bears are preparing themselves and their hungry cubs for the cold winter. They must find plenty of food to feed their growing cubs, so that they’re full and fat for hibernation, which can last as long as seven months! As the climate becomes frigid, the access to food becomes critical and can be difficult to find. Mama bears meticulously roam through the forest with their young to find foods like sweet berries, fish, and moose to feast on. But there is a predator lurking in the trees, Friend… VICIOUS trophy hunters. While grizzlies are searching for food, they may unknowingly step outside of the invisible borders of Yellowstone where they are no longer protected, and risk being brutally MURDERED for sport. Trophy hunters shoot and trap defenseless grizzlies. In fact, grizzly bears’ carcasses have been found severely mangled -- some with over 40 bullet wounds. If a mother bear is killed, her weak babies could risk dying from starvation, hypothermia, or falling prey to other species. Cubs rely on their mother for food for up to three years of age, so there is little to no chance for them to survive during the harsh winter with not much to eat in brittle weather. Friend, if we want to protect our beloved grizzly bears and cubs, we need to ACT NOW before it’s too late! [Sign the petition now to tell the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to SAVE grizzlies from being wiped out by cruel trophy hunters>>]( [SIGN THE PETITION]( With fewer than 2,000 grizzlies remaining in the lower 48 states -- we could potentially witness the EXTINCTION of our nation’s most treasured species. This is due to malicious massacres of grizzlies over the years by evil trophy hunters and Big Polluters profiting from destroying their precious habitats. Grizzlies are more than iconic -- they play a critical role in the ecosystems they thrive in. They help enhance biodiversity, enrich soils, regulate prey populations, and transport nutrients through different ecosystems. Losing grizzlies could put a lot at stake for our public lands and the wildlife that call them home. Please, Friend, trophy hunters are not waiting to hunt, attack and display dead grizzlies as souvenirs. Winter is approaching in a few weeks and vulnerable bear cubs need you more than ever before they become orphans. [That means we need to act TWICE as fast and need everyone in this fight. We’re 3,928 signatures short of our goal.
