Greater Yellowstone Wolves Delisted - Protest Now!

Target: U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service
Sponsored by: Defenders of Wildlife Action Fund
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.
deadline: 7-18-2008

GOOD NEWS! Court Restores Federal Protections for Wolves

wolf Over forty thousand Care2 members protested the Bush administration's decision to delist Greater Yellowstone area wolves from the Endangered Species Act in March 2008.

And on July 18, a federal judge restored endangered species protections for wolves in Greater Yellowstone and the Northern Rockies.

This victory means that Northern Rockies states must immediately halt further killing of wolves. Already, over 100 wolves had been killed in the short time since wolves were delisted in March.

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!

Wolves are an important part of the ecosystem and to decimate their numbers is a crime against our very ecological survival. It is extreme shortsightedness and shows total ignorance.

This is just wrong! How is it that humans ended up on top? Wolves deserve a chance to live as much as every other living thing!

This is a VERY shortsighted move indeed. I have long been a supporter of Pres. Bush but for him to allow this to happen sickens me! SAVE THE WOLVES! I am deeply disturbed by the federal governments decision to remove wolves in the greater Yellowstone and central Idaho regions from the list of federally protected threatened and endangered species. 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. They are as a natural part of Yellowstone as any other species and deserve to be protected as an endangered breed! We are destroying the Earth and causing species to become extinct on a daily basis.

This is a VERY short-sighted move indeed. The wolf has only a precarious hold on its existance in the wild and is already highly persecuted. Delisting will mean its extinction.
