Wild(life) is more than a term used to describe animals in the wild.

The word wildlife is symbolic and more than a term to describe animals in the wild.  Wild(life) contains the very word that denotes the capacity to reproduce, grow, change, and exist.  If we acknowledge that wildlife possesses the same ability as humans to reproduce, grow, and change, then we can assume that they also experience other aspects of life as we do. In other words, they form families, create bonds, experience grief from losing a loved one, and have a sense of when they feel safe or are in danger.  All of these are experiences of being alive.  This change of perspective allows us to understand that life is a sacred gift for every species on earth.  

A bill called the Prohibiting Threatened and Endangered Creatures Trophies Act of 2024 (H.R. 7840) has recently been introduced in U.S. Congress to protect endangered and threatened species around the globe. To help get this bill passed, please take a moment to sign and share this petition.

Your voice matters more than you know.  Together, we can greatly impact the future of our planet's most vulnerable species. Please join us in this important cause and help spread the word far and wide! If you live in the United States, please contact your federal lawmakers and ask for their backing of the Prohibiting Threatened and Endangered Species Trophies Act of 2024 (H.R. 7840).
