Greater Yellowstone Wolves Delisted - Protest Now!
Target: U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service
Sponsored by: Defenders of Wildlife
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.

hey dummy, 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.

When will our government stop messing in the natural order of things. Or messing with most everything for that matter. We humans build whatever we want anywhere we want and then cry and complain when nature, who was there first, wants to not starve. Man moved into natures grocery store. What, do they think the wolves will just hop up and go to the grocery store? Man keeps crowding the wolves out with their greedy crap....so what are the wolves going to do when they need to eat. This is what people are complaining about. Boo-hoo, their eating my cattle, sheep, etc. I love all animals, including cows, sheep,etc, but the farmers keep moving in and taking over. Well.....stop crowding them out!!!! They are a very beautiful and USEFUL part of nature. They normally only go after the sick or weak parts of herds. But when man intrudes, the wolves have to get what they can.They don't kill for the fun of it or start wars (like man). They simply want to keep from starving and feed their families too! Man gives nature no choice sometimes. Man upsets this balance!! So, please, "Good Ol Boy....Bush" and your stupid "hunt for fun" mentality....stop messing up everything and keep the wolves protected!!!

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, Chelsea Brown

I don't understand how a wolf can be on the Endangered Species list one year and be available for open slaughter the next. Rethink your position Mr Bush

Wolves are a major component in the food chain. They are also magnificent creatures. They are still a threatened species and will become extinct if we don't do something now.

wolves are an important part of the food chain. They hunt and kill the weak and sick animals, improving the health of the herds of deer and other prey. They also prevent and overpopulation of deer and other mammals that we already try to do with hunting seasons. Wolves were almost extinct in the early 1900s because people didnt care for them and didnt understand them. Dont let happen again. They are such wonderful creatures of beauty and music.

President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Chaney: On behalf of the following petitioners, PLEASE STOP the AERIAL GUNNING SLAUGHTER on "OUR" wolves in Alaska. Today would be a wonderful day to do exactly that. If you care, as you claim to, about all American Citizens; I ask you this question. "HOW CAN YOU ORDER AND ALLOW such an HORINDOUS and INEXCUSIBLE COLD-BLOODED ASSAULT on one of America's most beloved and revered creatures, THE WOLF?"..........So help me, I cannot see a dog lover allowing this travesty of justice. PLEASE ReCONSIDER your decision and orders to exterminate one of "GOD'S" most noble creatures. The wolf is an integral and absolutely a necessary part of the "real west", the natural eco-system. I had hoped you would value the life of at least a WOLF. If you would educate yourself just a "bit" about the part a WOLF plays in the natural order of things. HE is very very important. Help "SAVE" one of GOD'S most majestic and social creatures, the wolf, and you will not be remembered as the one who made absolutely sure the WOLF becomes extinct. The sad part is, the cowardly fashion by the shooter, in which the WOLF must face death! We, The American People HAVE MOST DEFINITELY seen it. Many videos and activists will never allow this one to go away. Thank you, sirs, for taking the time to consider this urgent issue; and please do the Right Thing this time. Sincerely, signature goal: 1,000 723 signatures!

wolves are living creatures too and they play a part in the life cycle so if you remove federal protection then their population will greatly decrease and it will end up resulting in more disasters.

Wolves are one of the most vital creatures in this world. To slaughter them is a sin. They live on this world too, and derserve our protection and respect so that future generations can witness their beauty and grace.
