Gray Wolves Lose Protection as an Endangered Species!

Target: Barack Obama, President
Sponsored by: Care2
Interior Secretary Ken Salazar upheld a decision by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to deny the gray wolf protection under the Endangered Species Act. This decision opens thousands of wolves up to a brutal hunt in eight states the wolves call home.

The Bush Administration fast-tracked the de-listing proposal during its final days in power. Once all but wiped out in the lower 48 by extermination campaigns, America's wolves are still struggling to survive in the wild.

Remind President Obama that we have an obligation to protect and foster the delicate balance of wildlife at risk. Gray wolves should be re-listed under the Endangered Species Act!

Dear President Obama,

I am writing in opposition to your administration's decision to uphold a decision by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to deny the gray wolf protection under the Endangered Species Act.

The wolves of the Northern Rocky Mountains have made a great comeback, yet this could all change the gray wolves are stripped of its protection under the Endangered Species Act.

This decision means wolf management will be turned over to states such as Idaho and Wyoming, which have elected to remove wolves by whatever means necessary.

One cannot understand the intentional extermination of any living thing that is not a imminent threat to mankind or civilization. This is a travesty and should be reversed. Why did we spend years to bring them back from potential extinction to then wipe them out again?

This is NOT good science. Wolves are not at sustainable levels, ask all the biologists. You promised that your enviromental policy would be decided on science. Keep your word.
