Save the Wolves of the Northern Rockies

The Issue

A Wyoming man recently chased down and struck a wolf with a snowmobile, then displayed the wolf's dead body at a bar.

Across most of Wyoming, wolves can be killed without a license in nearly any manner and at any time.

Montana allows wolves to be killed using bait and strangulation snares. A single hunter can kill 10 wolves — and trap an additional 10.

Idaho hires private contractors to kill wolves and lets hunters chase wolves down with hounds and all-terrain vehicles.

The U.S Fish and Wildlife Service admits wolf-killing in Idaho, Montana and Wyoming could wipe out 75% of wolves there — but still won't protect them.

The Center for Biological Diversity filed an emergency petition to protect northern Rocky Mountains wolves under the Endangered Species Act. The U.S. Service refused, so we took legal action and sued it.

While we're fighting for wolves in the courts, we need your voice.

Tell the Service to reconsider. The right decision is to save these intelligent, social animals, who are crucial to helping their ecosystems thrive. Help us end the assault on wolves in the northern Rockies.
