The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) received feedback from nearly a million citizens and a host of conservation biologists for its decision to remove federal protections from wolves last year, and recently convened a new panel of experts to revisit the issue. This new panel found that the FWS relied upon one faulty paper to make its wrongful decision to strip wolves of their Endangered Species Act protections.
Without their federal safeguards, several states have opened trophy hunting and trapping seasons, and thousands of wolves have been mercilessly slaughtered. Help protect wolves and demand that they be given adequate federal protections to prevent future inhumane acts.
TAKE ACTION Here.
The FWS needs to hear from you before March 27. Please fill out the form below to submit a letter to U.S. Secretary of the Interior Sally Jewell.
Dear Secretary Jewell,
I value wolves and I want to see them protected by the Endangered Species Act. Without these federal safeguards, wolves are pitted against an unfair arsenal of traps, snares, baits, hounds, and shooters who kill them from low-flying aircraft. Killing wolves puts their family packs in disarray and leaves young pups to starve.
Most Americans love wolves, and wolf-watching tourists spend millions of dollars to see them in places like Yellowstone National Park. After receiving pressure from the livestock industry and extreme groups, the government has given up on wolves and literally put them in the crosshairs before they could recover to most of their historic range. It’s quite simple: wolf populations are still recovering, and the best available science does not support their removal from the protections afforded to them by the Endangered Species Act. Please provide adequate protections for this iconic and beautiful species.

I am putting this on my petition at change.org “please stop killing us” re our American Gray Wolf as an action item to my 4,300 signers…Mar 27th is the deadline, 10 days from now everyone sign!
Thanks Rebecca!
I know little about wolves but I value all life and so want to see them protected by the Endangered Species Act. To think wolves can be killed in humanly through unfair arsenal of traps, snares, baits, hounds, and shooters who kill them from low-flying aircraft leaves me to question the mentality of the human species and maybe the offenders need to be deported away from their families so they too can suffer the pain they inflict.
I AM 86YEARS YOUNG AND IT SICKENS ME WHEN I READ OR HEAR ABOUT MANS INHUMANITY TO OUR WILDLIFE THEY HAVE AS MUCH RITE ON THIS PLANET AS MAN AND MORE THAN SOME SO CALLED HUMANS
You don’t know how fortunate you are having native wolves living in the wild.
In these enlightened times we should not be denying life to our fellow occupants of earth.
We all have a place on this earth, Please keep the wolves safe from cull and final extinction.
The ramifications of allowing this to happen are huge as each being on the earth has a positive purpose – perhaps the only exception to this would be human as all we seem to do is destroy.
I agree with all the comments here. It seems some in the US don’t understand how lucky they are to still have these wild animals living free there. Each has it’s place and we all fit together like a jigsaw, we have to protect every living thing on the planet but some are too selfish and arrogant to play their proper part. I thank God all of you are
here to help and stand up to protect all life. Bless you all, let us never give in.

EACH ANIMAL HAS A GREAT PURPOSE, WE MUST ALLOW THEM ALL TO DO THE JOB THAT THEY WERE ON THIS PLANET EARTH TO DO
DON’T LET THIS ICONIC ANIMAL DIE OUT, MR JEWELL. HERE IN ENGLAND, THE LAST ONE WAS KILLED IN THE 18TH CENTURY, SO I HAVEN’T HAD THE PLEASURE OF SEEING ONE IN THE WILD.
WATCH “DANCES WITH WOLVES” TO STRENGTHEN YOUR RESOLVE TO PROTECT THEM.
The wolves are necessary for the eco-system, why on earth do people want to act ‘lower’ than any other creature on earth and kill just for the joy of killing? says a lot about the people and COUNTRIES that support such evil.
please stop killing these wolves…its not right to take any life for fun!!!
Humans do not get to chose who to share the planet with, and chose which species should be exterminated, you should treasure your wildlife, and take care of it, it is beyond belief you are even thinking about this, these animals do no harm, and probably bring in tourists.
Please protect this very special animal.
No animal should be killed, hunts/culls such as these can never be justified.
please leave these beautiful animals Alone, Leave them to a peaceful life.xx
The earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof. We are here to protect not to kill.
Reblogged this on Wolf Is My Soul.
Please preserve the lives of these endangered species.
It makes me sick that people find sporting pleasure in killing off our wildlife. I know that occasionally some animal populations need to be culled because they have become overly dominant (usually due to human interference elsewhere in the chain). But the biggest motivation I can see, is that a lot of people do simply enjoy killing and destroying, and having guns, and any excuse is good enough, just so they can carry on killing our God-given wildlife. We are meant to be stewards and custodians of this world, not destroyers.
Please see https://exposingthebiggame.wordpress.com/2014/03/20/over-7-billion-served-2/ as to who may need culling.
