Yellowstone’s Grizzlies Should Be Protected, Not Shot


Yellowstone’s Grizzlies Should Be Protected, Not Shot
The Issue
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service wants to let 72 Yellowstone grizzly bears be killed in Wyoming's Bridger-Teton National Forest — just so more livestock can graze on public lands.
Female grizzlies with cubs have been documented in the areas where the bears will be targeted. It's cruel, and it's also illegal.
We've launched a powerful new suit to stop the illegal killing — and you can help.
Tell the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service you oppose its plan to let Yellowstone grizzlies be killed.
Yellowstone's grizzlies are still threatened, which makes the Service's latest move that much more infuriating. USFWS should be working toward protecting threatened animals, not making it easier for them to be killed.
Giving the go-ahead to kill wildlife as a favor to industry is exactly the kind of thinking that has fueled the extinction emergency. It's another example of how this administration goes out of its way to weaken the Endangered Species Act by chipping away at protection for imperiled species.
Yellowstone's grizzlies are some of the most beloved in the world. We're not going to let them get killed without a fight.
Act now to demand that the USFWS drop this plan to kill Yellowstone's grizzly bears just so cattle can graze on public land.
