Wolf Emergency: Rapid Response

Rapid Response for Wolves Under state plans, wolves can be shot in the vast majority of Wyoming and an unlimited hunt could start this fall in Idaho. Please donate now to support our work to protect wolves in Greater Yellowstone and beyond.  Share on Facebook Dear Omss, It's been a bad week for wolves. Officials in Wyoming -- with the blessing of Interior Secretary Ken Salazar -- plan to allow wolves to be shot on sight throughout most of the state. And Idaho may allow unlimited wolf killing in this fall's hunt throughout much of the state. Please donate now to support our rapid response efforts to fight these terrible wolf-killing plans and save the lives of wolves in Greater Yellowstone and the Northern Rockies. Just months ago, Congress handed the fate of Greater Yellowstone wolves to the states. Now Idaho and Wyoming are bowing to anti-wolf extremists with over-the-top plans that may have a tremendous impact on wolf recovery across the West. Make no mistake: Hundreds of wolves in these states could be killed. Wolves that wander beyond the safety of Yellowstone National Park could be shot. Recovery of these magnificent animals in Oregon, Washington, Colorado and other parts of their historic range could be sabotaged. Please donate now to support our rapid response plan to save wolves and other efforts to protect the wildlife and wild places you cherish. Your support will help Defenders... Advocate with state and federal officials on behalf of sound, science based wolf management. We'll urge officials to adopt a more sensible approach to wolf management. Mobilize grassroots opposition to the no-limit wolf hunt in Idaho and Wyoming's terrible wolf killing plan. Our organizers are reaching out to allies in the states to write letters to the editor of local papers and contact state and federal officials. Speak out in the media to let the public know just how far some in Idaho and Wyoming are willing to go to kill wolves. One of the most effective ways to support wolf conservation is to engage the public through the media. Expand our proven coexistence plans to build social tolerance for wolves. For years, Defenders has pioneered efforts to enable ranchers and wolves to coexist in Idaho. Now we’re expanding coexistence projects like our efforts in Wood River to protect wolves and livestock alike. We need to raise $50,000 in the next few days to support our action plan to help wolves in Greater Yellowstone and the Northern Rockies. We can reach this goal if just 2,000 people across the country can make a donation of $25 or more. Will you help? It only takes one person to make a difference. Please donate now to support our efforts to ensure a sustainable future for wolves and other imperiled wildlife. For the Wild Ones, Rodger Schlickeisen President Defenders of Wildlife P.S. Help us fight for our wolves. Make your donation now on our secure web site. Or call 1-800-385-9712 to donate by phone.
