Brad Little, the governor of Idaho, signed a bill that will allow the killing of over 1,300 wolves. This will be one of the biggest and most brutal wildlife slaughters in 200 years. This bill will pay for the hiring of private contractors to hunt 90% of the state's wolves.

There is no reason for the massacre. In all of 2020, wolves likely killed only 102 cattle and sheep according to state investigators. Out of the 2,800,000 total livestock, wolves have barely hunted 1% of them within 187 years! Predation is not an issue!

Senate bill 1211 was rushed through the legislature in less than a week. The point of this is to reduce the population of wolves just above the endangered species classification. It is policies like this that cause the federal government to take wildlife protection into its own hands.

Wolves are being seen as pests. People wish to eradicate them without recognizing the important role they play in the ecosystem. Getting rid of 90% of their wolves will cause a domino effect for other species in the environment. With so many wolves disappearing, the population of elk and deer would skyrocket. They will eat the food of livestock causing them to go hungry meaning less food for humans, the entire reason this is happening.

Please give us your signature to help stop the slaughter of over 1,300 wolves. This is not right.
