Attacks on wolves have reached a new low: At least 20 wolves from Yellowstone National Park have been killed crossing the boundaries of anti-wolf states.
The wolves of Yellowstone have inspired countless wildlife lovers since their return 25 years ago. But to their enemies, they’re just another target. 15 wolves have been killed in the first couple of months of Montana’s hunting season, with another five killed in Idaho and Wyoming.
These killings show that these anti-wolf states are unwilling to provide needed protections. Unless we can restore their protections, even more wolves will die – even our nation’s most popular wolves aren’t safe!
We need your help to fight back. Make your life-saving gift today to turbo-charge efforts to restore Endangered Species Act protections to wolves and to keep vulnerable animals safe from senseless killings!
It’s a cruel world where even wolves that spend most of their lives in Yellowstone National Park can be gunned down for taking a step outside the park boundaries. And the silence on protecting wolves at the federal level is deafening.
We’re not just talking about losing a wolf here and there – one pack, the Phantom Lake pack, is considered “eliminated” after most or all of its members were killed already this season.
These states aren’t playing fair, either: Under new rules, hunters and trappers can use meat as bait to lure wolves out of safety and into snares, traps, or down the sights of their guns.
