Help Save America’s Wolves

For years I donated a monthly amount to help protect North American wolves, which have been threatened with extinction. I’ve answered every call to contact my government to ask them to protect the wolves.

Everytime I think we’ve succeeded in protecting them, my government finds an opportunity to kill them. Now, according to Defenders of Wildlife, the government will be issuing up to 70,000 permits at $11.75 each to reduce the wolf populations in Idaho and Montana to 300 to 450 wolves from a population of about 1,300. That’s 70 permits per wolf. Huh?

These wolves were eliminated in the 1920, and we had to import some from Canada to reestablish populations in Yellowstone National Park and Central Idaho.

What’s really sickening is that in 2008 there were only 52 Mexican wolves in Mexico and Arizona. FIFTY-TWO!!!

Please say NO to delisting the gray wolf and help Defenders of Wildlife help them. This animal is a vital part of the ecosystem.
