Your Signature is Needed: Stop the MASSACRE of innocent grizzlies

URGENT ACTION NEEDED: KILLING innocent bear cubs while they sleep is LEGAL. It was illegal to shoot harmless bear cubs and wolf pups in their dens -- and rightfully so. These precious baby animals remain in their dens for shelter and warmth until they are strong enough to venture out into the world. But the Trump Administration overturned this ban -- and even incentivized prize hunters with massive handouts. And now, reckless trophy hunters can legally shoot hibernating mama bears and their helpless cubs indiscriminately, including while they sleep peacefully in their dens. Hunting season is already underway, Friend, so we’re running out of time to BAN these cruel hunting practices. [Sign our petition NOW to demand an END to inhumane bear hunts before more innocent bear cubs are SLAUGHTERED >>]( [SIGN THE PETITION]( If a mama bear leaves her den to brave the winter cold, it means she is desperate for food to nourish herself and her cubs. Vulnerable and weak, she makes the perfect target for VICIOUS trophy hunters who can easily trick and lure her out with bait -- before VIOLENTLY SLAUGHTERING her. Alone and scared, her tiny cubs at the den will die of STARVATION and HYPOTHERMIA waiting for mama’s return. With trophy hunters driving grizzly bears CLOSE TO EXTINCTION, fewer than 2,000 grizzlies remain in the lower 48 states. But it doesn’t have to be this way. Defenseless bear cubs are counting on us to be their voice and STOP the BLOODY MASSACRE of already-vulnerable bear populations. [Will you take urgent action right now and help PROTECT bears from brutal trophy hunting tactics?]( [SIGN THE PETITION]( Thank you for protecting bears, Friends of the Earth Contact Us: Friends of the Earth U.S. Washington, D.C. | Berkeley, CA 1-877-843-8687 [Contact us](foe.org/about-us/contact/) Email Preferences: [Click here to unsubscribe]( Learn more: www.foe.org/news www.foe.org/about-us www.foeaction.org Connect: [Facebook]( [Twitter]( [Flickr]( © 2021, Friends of the Earth.
