Stop Wolf Slaughters- Wolves are endangered, return Federal protection immediately!


Stop Wolf Slaughters- Wolves are endangered, return Federal protection immediately!
The Issue
The recent wolf slaughter in Wisconsin never should have happened. Close to 30% of the state's wolves have been murdered, many of which were pregnant females- since this is the middle of breeding season.
90% of the wolves killed were run down by hunters' dogs, a method which literally tears the wolf apart by the limbs.
Wolves were listed as federally protected and endangered until January 4, 2021, when Trump suddenly stripped wolves of any protections- in another desperate attempt to hand out gifts to his trophy-hunter donors. Tribal Treaties were broken. The hunters had planned this out, knew exactly where to find the wolves, and cheated by not registering their kills in time- in order to keep the season open. It is unknown how many wolves were actually massacred.
There is another hunt planned for the fall in Wisconsin. Hunts are also planned this year for Idaho (goal-1000 wolves killed) and Montana (goal-800 kills).
Wolves are rightfully endangered, and will become extinct if hunts like this are allowed. Please give wolves back the Federal Protection they need! Don't let Trump's knee-jerk decision cause permanent problems such as extinction.
We are counting on you to help, since state legislators in Midwest states have little say when it comes to hunting. These hunters are set to exterminate wolves. Please offer them Federal Protection immediately.
