Support a National Wolf Recovery Plan

Target: Dale Hall, head of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
Sponsored by: Defenders of Wildlife Action Fund
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The Service's recovery plans for America's wolves are badly out of date (the most recent plan is over 15-years old), do not reflect the most recent scientific data on wolves, and set recovery goals that are grossly inadequate.

I supposrt a forward-looking national wolf recovery plan because without it, wolves will become extinct. These are wonderful creatures that have a purpose! Please don't let this happen to them.

Wolves are intelligent creatures who never take more prey than they need to survive. They are not the aggressive marauders of fairy tale and nightmare. They are the close ancestors of our dearest pets, the dogs. They certainly don't deserve to be slaughtered.

I had a dog that was part wolf and she was very special. She protected our family and loved us for 16 years. How many animals are going to become extinct if we do not do something about this. The chain of life is so messed up we have to let nature remain the way it should be.

The wolf is a necessary top predator. We spent years and countless dollars re-introducing them into the contiguous United States. Please do not tell me that this work was accomplished only to have it end at the wrong end of a hunters gun.

I feel Wolves are beautiful and meaningful animals as well as all others and have more than a right to exist as we do. They are also one of Gods Creatures and Creations, I do not feel killing them is to be one of our judgments or acts to perform.

There is a pretty fair population of wolves in the Northern Portions of the Great Lake States of Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Michigan. The Greater Yellowstone and northern Rockies have room for a population of wolves.

Humans do not have the right to permanently dominate and abuse the homes of so many wolves as well as living creatures, and wildlife habitats. It is contrary to human dignity to cause animals to suffer or die needlessly. ~St. Francis of Acici Humans do not have the absolute right to dominate creation and other living beings.

After employment of Federal Funds to re-establish the wolf population there must be a better way to insure balance and maintenance of the recovering species. I would hate to think the only reason for the recovery in the first place was to give a few itchy fingers something to hang over their mantle. Does Federal Funding also cover taxidermy?

This is truly is a matter of respecting and honoring other living systems, which are not "other", at all in actuality, as what effects one, affects each other. This action will spread such a message, much needed to be heard.
