Protect the Gray Wolf From the Bush Administration!
Target: U.S. Fish and Wildlife ServiceSponsored by: Center for Biological Diversity
Nearly three decades later, the Endangered Species Act was signed into U.S. law. Recognized as an integral part of the rugged Rocky Mountains ecosystem, the Gray Wolf was rushed onto the endangered list. Due to the protections under the Endangered Species Act, the Gray Wolf has been reintroduced successfully in Yellowstone and central Idaho, and has migrated safely from Canada into northwestern Montana.
But the wolf is in danger -- again.
The Bush Administration plans to allow hundreds of gray wolves to be slaughtered on behalf of the livestock industry -- while the Gray Wolf is still listed under the Endangered Species Act! To seal the deal for the livestock industry, the Administration is also seeking to de-list the Gray Wolf entirely, thus removing all protections for this vital being.
The comment period on whether the Gray Wolf should be protected or not closes August 6. Instead of undoing protections for wolves, we should be guarding them more vigilantly than ever before, and continuing to restore them throughout their former range of wide habitats.
Sign this petition to tell the Bush Administration that you want to see gray wolves fully protected under the Endangered Species Act today.
What's the point of destroying a species that people spent ages trying to restore?
Even though this is posted past August 6th, I just had to list my thoughts on this matter. To remove the Gray Wolf from the protections of the ESA is yet another outrageous and completely insane idea that this inept and corrupt administration has come up with to help out their big corporate money friends and rape Mother Nature. Anyone with a brain in their head knows that the Gray wolf plays an integral part of the ecosystem and has a minimal impact on livestock when its territory is not continually encroached upon. Any creature that is starving will seek food that is readily available, so you cannot blame the wolf to acting upon its natural instincts when you stuck the dinner in its backyard. It has always been man who has been the greatest threat to this earth, NOT the Gray Wolf, nor the Polar Bear, whale, eagle or any other creature on this planet.
we need native predators to help restore cottonwood trees and to prtect the riparian are from other animals overgrazing. the balance of mother nature needs to be restored by allowing animals to manage themselves through the protection of poilcies created to susutain biodiversity of native species.
Please protect the Gray Wolf. He is a necessary part of the food web and to eliminate him could affect our fragile food web. Beyond the food web, he is a beautiful animal and deserves protection.
Save the wolves! Save the wolves! Save the wolves!
Gray Wolves are endangered species. It's our duty to protect them! Wake up before it's too late & there are no more animals left!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
