		This Ad Could Save a Walrus With your help, we’ll run the ad above in influential Washington, DC publications. Donate now to help us run powerful new ads to stop anti-wildlife legislation in Congress.  Share on Facebook Dear Omss, Look into the eyes of some of the animals targeted by the House of Representatives’ latest assault on protections for wolves, walruses and other wildlife and they say it all: We must protect wildlife for future generations. Last week, the House Appropriations Committee approved a spending bill with disastrous cuts to wildlife protections, including an Extinction Rider that would prohibit vital new protections for walruses, wolverines and other imperiled wildlife. Please donate now to help fight for our wildlife with a series of compelling new wildlife ads in some of the most influential publications in our nation’s capital. Tomorrow, we’re launching a powerful new series of ads to force Congress to take a hard look at the wildlife they’re sacrificing for the benefit of pesticide companies, Big Oil and other special interests. We’re running them in Politico and National Journal – two of the most widely-read publications on Capitol Hill. We need to raise $40,000 to run these ads and force Congress to take a long, hard look into the eyes of some of the animals that their votes could doom to extinction. Will you help? This bill is a raw deal for imperiled animals and the wild places where they live. It would… Stop new protections for animals at risk of extinction and the places they live. This could be disastrous for species like walruses and wolverines, which are struggling to survive. Effectively prevent legal action to challenge Wyoming’s shoot-on-sight wolf plan. Hundreds of wolves could be killed and recovery of wolves in the Northern Rockies undermined, but the committee voted to deny people who care about wolves their day in court if determined necessary. Prevent the Environmental Protection Agency from doing more to protect our waters and the wildlife and communities that depend on them. Pesticides are already a major threat to salmon, frogs, salamanders, and other wildlife. Congress should be doing more – not less – to protect our waters. Significantly reduce grant programs that provide funding to states to protect declining and imperiled species and to other countries to protect migratory species that grace our lands during parts of the year. Slash funding for national wildlife refuges, habitat restoration and other key conservation spending. The committee approved billions in spending cuts, which would damage our already underfunded wildlife refuges and undercut environmental protection. We’ve stopped attacks like this one before, and we can do it again. But we need your help to succeed. Please make a tax-deductible donation now to help us run our ads and save wildlife. With Gratitude, Jamie Rappaport Clark Executive Vice President Defenders of Wildlife P.S. We have very little time to get these ads out there! Please make a secure donation online now or contribute by phone by calling 1-800-385-9712.
