Greater Yellowstone Wolves Delisted - Protest Now!

Target: U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service
Sponsored by: Defenders of Wildlife
The Bush/Cheney administration has just eliminated federal protections for wolves in Greater Yellowstone and the Northern Rockies, opening the door to the slaughter of hundreds of America's most beloved wolves.

This decision leaves the region's wolves at the mercy of outrageous state management plans that could lead to the killing of all but 300 wolves - eliminating 80% of all the wild wolves in Greater Yellowstone and the Northern Rockies.

We need to let the Bush/Cheney administration know that we strongly oppose this decision to remove Greater Yellowstone wolves from the list of federally protected threatened and endangered species.

Please sign our petition of protest and demand that the administration reverse its misguided decision and continue protecting Greater Yellowstone wolves under the Endangered Species Act.

Your comments on why you oppose this decision to remove federal protections for Greater Yellowstone wolves
We respect your privacy. Your email address is used to confirm your signature and is NOT displayed publicly.
I am deeply disturbed by the federal government's decision to remove wolves in the Greater Yellowstone and Central Idaho regions from the list of federally protected threatened and endangered species.

I strongly oppose the weakening of protections for these wolves and expect the federal government to fulfill its obligation to secure a lasting future in the Northern Rockies for these amazing animals.

Please accept my comments in support of continued Endangered Species Act protection for wolves in the Northern Rockies and immediately reverse this decision to delist these wolves.

Sincerely,
[Your name here]
We signed the “Greater Yellowstone Wolves Delisted - Protest Now!” petition!

This is one of the stupidest and least civilized decisions your department has made in the past few decades. It must be reversed and the Endangered Species Act honored and obeyed for these magnificent creatures, so essential to the proper functioning of these ecosystems.

With all the brutal killing of these animals in Alaska and other areas that the government sanctions, we can't afford to take these animals off the list.

I live right in the center of the current Wolf range and I can tell you it is FAR too early to even consider delisting. This is gonna get real ugly.
