Support a National Wolf Recovery Plan

Target: Dale Hall, head of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
Sponsored by: Defenders of Wildlife
In the wake of the federal delisting of wolves in Greater Yellowstone and the Northern Rockies, Defenders of Wildlife and our allies at the Natural Resources Defense Council have filed a formal petition with the Fish and Wildlife Service calling for a national wolf recovery plan.

Such a plan would help ensure a lasting future for wolves in Greater Yellowstone and the Northern Rockies and provide a needed boost for wolf recovery and management efforts in the Southwest, Northeast and Pacific Northwest.

Help support this forward-looking effort to protect the gray wolf's important part in America. Sign our petition to send your personalized comments to Dale Hall, head of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

As someone who cares about ensuring a lasting future for wolves in the U.S., I strongly urge the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to adopt a comprehensive recovery plan for wolves in the contiguous United States.

I was deeply concerned about the recent elimination of federal protections for wolves in Greater Yellowstone and the Northern Rockies. By turning over management to states that plan to kill as many as 70% of the wolves in the region, your agency has dealt a serious blow to wolf recovery efforts.

The agency's failure to secure a future for wolves in the Southwest is also of great concern to me.

The Service's recovery plans for America's wolves are badly out of date (the most recent plan is over 15-years old), do not reflect the most recent scientific data on wolves, and set recovery goals that are grossly inadequate.

This is very important. In the wake of all the various new US legislations occurring allowing the 'hunting & culling' of wolf packs throughout the USA, most especially for me in Alaska the terrible permission to allow aerial hunting - a national wolf recovery plan would be invaluable to help restore the balance. Better yet - stop passing laws to allow this slaughter.....

Humanity collects it's History in Piles. Coyotes, Wolves, Elephants, Tigers, Cats and Dogs, Jews and Gentiles, Women and Children.There is no speech more obscene than an apology made at the lip of the mass grave. This is an acceptance speech to a corpse..because clearly YOU DID ACCEPT IT. I Do Not.Those folks whose 'wolf fear' drives them to murderous panicky letter-writing campaigns..well, those sort don't matter.THEIR OPINIONS ARE WITHOUT MERIT OR VALUE.Because those are the people who,upon seeing the last lupine thrown upon the pile,congratulate themselves before moving on to the mighty lemming, toothy-clawed kitten or fearsome Fish&Wildlife Officer.There's always SOMETHING for the Pile. Until there Isn't.Does it make you sad that we still have to write this down?I bet it does!! I have copied this comment from another signer because I could not have said it any better. Thank you Zoe for putting my feelings to the letter down on paper. A mass grave doesn't speak in voices, it speaks to those who put it there and once again DECIDED on their own to mass kill everything,"MAN IS SHAMEFUL"

The wolf is a key component of healthy wilderness areas. Wilderness areas are precious and deserve protection for the health of our planet, and for future generations. De-listing the wolf was reprehensible, short-sighted, and wrong-headed. I fully support a National Wolf Recover Plan, and protection of our wolves in all the United States.
