Within the past 14 days, the state of Idaho and Montana have passed bills to be made into law that puts a bounty on wolves and their families, yes pups are included in the culling.

Please Act Now to Save America's Wolves!

I'm writing to ask you to help save our wolves in the United States. I care deeply about the plight of wolves in our country and wolves across the US are again being persecuted under state authority. The State of Idaho has adopted legislation that allows for the killing of 90% of the wolves statewide including newborn pups and nursing mothers in their dens. The State of Montana has adopted a bounty system similar to the one led to the eradication of wolves from the West. The State of Wisconsin opened a hunting season without adequate regulations in place and hundreds of wolves were destroyed in days. Wolves need to regain the protection of the Endangered Species Act now! Please take action to restore vital protections to prevent the eradication of wolves from states that are unable or unwilling to manage wolves responsibly.

There is no excuse for the persecution of wolves in our country. Wolves are an essential species in helping to maintain healthy elk and deer herds by culling diseased animals and encouraging dispersal of large herds into smaller herds that are more sustainable to their habitat. Livestock losses to wolves remain low - less than 1 percent of cattle in wolf range are lost to wolves - and there are highly effective nonlethal deterrents that can better protect sheep, cattle, and wolves.

These states are changing their state wolf legislation to the point they are no longer sufficient to protect wolves from eradication. You have the ability to restore their protection under the Endangered Species Act before it's too late. Please take action now. Our nation's wolves must be protected from this Old West approach that is nothing more than an archaic and brutal campaign to eradicate their numbers."

Please call as early as you can. Her main office is in Washington DC and they operate on Eastern Daylight time. 

 

Thank you all who continue support. Let's hold these legislators accountable. 

 

With Urgency,

Johnathon Flores
