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
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.

The animals owned the planet long before man-GOD's intention is to protect those-large and small-animals and people equally-it's not fair to the animals that have every right to live on this planet

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.

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 The Service's recovery plans for America's wolves are badly out of date (the most recent plan is over 15-years old), do not reflect the most recent scientific data on wolves, and set recovery goals that are grossly inadequate. view more The recovery plan for the Northern Rocky Mountain wolf, for example, calls for three groups of 10 breeding pairs of wolves. The recovery plan for the Mexican gray wolf is 25 years old, and contains only an interim goal of 100 wolves in a single area. And the recovery plan for the eastern timber wolf only commits to establishing one population of 100 wolves outside of Minnesota, completely ignoring the available habitat in the Northeastern U.S. These plans are simply inadequate to ensure a lasting future for wolves in the United States, which would require multiple, connected populations, and several thousand individual wolves. That's why I strongly urge your agency to adopt the national wolf recovery plan put forth by Defenders of Wildlife and the Natural Resources Defense Council. Such a plan would help ensure a lasting future for wolves in the Northern Rockies and provide a needed boost for wolf recovery and management efforts in the Southwest, Northeast and Pacific Northwest. Thank you for considering my comments. view less Sincerely, Jessica

I care about the animals. And I honestly think that this is ridiculous that we actually have to have petitions to save them. But hey. Whatever works. I'd love to help as much as i can.

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. Support a National Wolf Recovery Plan by putting some wolf in a santuary but please don't kill them please they have the right to live like any other animal.. 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. i think its a great plan we can act now instead of waiting until its too late and regretting it. Preserving our wildlife is very important! There is a pretty fair population of wolves in the Northern Portions of the Great Lake States of Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Michigan. They are the most misunderstood animals in the world, and one of the most beautiful. I feel Wolves are beautiful and meaningful animals as well as all others and have more than a right to exist as we do. Wolves are an important life for the ecological system. I strongly urge your agency to adopt the national wolf recovery plan put forth by Defenders of Wildlife and the Natural Resources Defense Council. The wolf is a necessary top predator. I had a dog that was part wolf and she was very special. Wolves are intelligent creatures that never take more prey than they need to survive. Please help to protect these magnificent creatures! Wolves are awesome, killing animals isn't. I support a forward-looking national wolf recovery plan because without it, wolves will become extinct. I love wolves. Certainly there is something to be done that lies somewhere between "endangered" and killing one wolf per day until they are back on the endangered list. I support this plan because God put every animal on this earth for a reason. We have to help the wolves. Wolves are beautiful creatures and deserve to be protected. I believe every animal deserves a fair chance, and a second chance. Wolves are a living natural resource. Wolfs are a natural predator of deer and other smaller game. Don't we have enough extinct animals in our planet?

Don't we have enough extinct animals in our planet? Extinction is forever. As soon as the wolves are extinct, it would mess up the whole foodchain also. Like we don't have enough problems to solve.

Wolfs are a natural predator of deer and other smaller game. With them living near deer they will thin the herds in a natural way, taking the old and weak. In Ohio, the deer over population is a serious problem.

I support this plan because God put every animal on this earth for a reason. If the wolf wasn't suppose to be here then He would not have been created. The wolf was here first and we took over where he lived. He shouldn't have to adjust to our living we should adjust to him. But I firmly believe we can live together and I know there are people experienenting in ways to ensure that we can live in harmony. Why do we feel that we have to destory everything that we don't understand or don't want to learn about. It saddens me that most don't see the beauty around us.

I love wolves. They're my favorite wild animal. They are beautiful, innocent animals, and it's an atrocity that they're being killed and becoming extinct. Please support this National Wolf Recovery Plan. Thank you.
