Sign the Petition: Save grizzly bears from vicious trophy hunters this spring season

URGENT ACTION NEEDED: Springtime could be DEADLY for innocent grizzly bears and cubs without safeguarded federal ESA protections. [Take action now! >]( A mama bear ventures from her den after braving the winter cold all season long, desperate to find life-giving nourishment for her cubs. Weak from hibernation, she doesn’t notice the vicious trophy hunters lurking in the trees, waiting to take advantage of her defenselessness. With just one bullet, her babies are orphaned -- left STARVING and alone in their den, waiting hopelessly for their mama’s return. Without their mothers, bear cubs are left to STARVE, FREEZE, or get caught in the crossfire of merciless trophy hunters. Yet trophy hunters and Big Oil lobbies are pushing harder than ever to REMOVE CRITICAL ENDANGERED SPECIES PROTECTIONS for threatened grizzlies and take over the lands they call home. [This weekend in honor of World Wildlife Day, we are asking environmentalists like you to speak up for voiceless grizzlies. Please Friend, sign your name NOW and tell the FWS to expand protections for grizzly bears before the loss is too great! >>]( [SIGN THE PETITION]( Grizzly bears were once abundant, roaming the continental U.S. with as many as 50,000 in the western half. But reckless human activity, like hunting, trapping, and habitat loss, decimated their numbers to as little as 2,000 in the lower 48 states. It’s no secret that extremists are in bed with the hunting lobby and other Big Polluters, Friend. So unfortunately, there have been many attacks to dismantle ESA protections for vulnerable wildlife. In fact, Big Polluters go as far as inserting anti-bear riders in legislation that would delist grizzly bears as an endangered species—igniting a WAR on the remaining grizzly population. That’s why we need to stand up to trophy hunters looking to put iconic grizzlies in danger. We must END these senseless acts of animal cruelty and STOP the inhumane slaying of innocent grizzly bears NOW before this iconic animal is WIPED OUT. [But if we’re going to get the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service to protect grizzly bears from vicious trophy hunters, we need you to step up today. Will you use your voice to defend our precious grizzly bears before we run out of time?]( [SIGN THE PETITION]( Thank you for protecting our treasured grizzlies.
