Picture it: a young wolf painfully dying in a leghold trap; a wolf mother's pups gassed to death in their den; entire packs gunned down -- all the result of legislation now being considered in Congress that would eliminate even the most common-sense, science-based protections for wolves.
Please make an emergency donation now to support our work to stop anti-wolf legislation in Congress and safeguard the future of wolves and other wildlife struggling to survive.
Anti-wolf extremists have made their move in Congress, introducing bills to remove all protections for gray wolves, allowing for thepoisoning, trapping and extermination of these magnificent animals across the country -- a move that would doom the world's only wild Mexican gray wolves.
And these bills are just the first of many attacks on protections for wolves and other wildlife we're expecting over the next two years.
Defenders and compassionate supporters like you have fought hard to bring wolves back from extinction in the West -- and together, we achieved one of the most important American conservation successes of the last century: the restoration of these magnificent animals back to their rightful homes.
Now, Montana Representative Denny Rehberg and others in Congress want to sacrifice the future of wolves for the sake of politics.
We can't let that happen.
Help stop congressional attempts to eliminate protections for wolves and chip away at the Endangered Species Act.
It's not just the future of wolves at stake. Permanently exempting a single species from the Endangered Species Act -- like the bills before Congress would do -- sets a dangerous precedent for removing protections for some of our most vulnerable wildlife.
Please donate now to support our efforts to secure a lasting protection for wolves and other wildlife.
