Support a National Wolf Recovery Plan

Target: Dale Hall, head of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
Sponsored by: Defenders of Wildlife
In the wake of the federal delisting of wolves in Greater Yellowstone and the Northern Rockies, Defenders of Wildlife and our allies at the Natural Resources Defense Council have filed a formal petition with the Fish and Wildlife Service calling for a national wolf recovery plan.

Such a plan would help ensure a lasting future for wolves in Greater Yellowstone and the Northern Rockies and provide a needed boost for wolf recovery and management efforts in the Southwest, Northeast and Pacific Northwest.

Help support this forward-looking effort to protect the gray wolf's important part in America. Sign our petition to send your personalized comments to Dale Hall, head of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

As someone who cares about ensuring a lasting future for wolves in the U.S., I strongly urge the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to adopt a comprehensive recovery plan for wolves in the contiguous United States.

I was deeply concerned about the recent elimination of federal protections for wolves in Greater Yellowstone and the Northern Rockies. By turning over management to states that plan to kill as many as 70% of the wolves in the region, your agency has dealt a serious blow to wolf recovery efforts.

The agency's failure to secure a future for wolves in the Southwest is also of great concern to me.

The Service's recovery plans for America's wolves are badly out of date (the most recent plan is over 15-years old), do not reflect the most recent scientific data on wolves, and set recovery goals that are grossly inadequate.

I support all wildlife preservation. I believe it is our tasks as the dominant species on this planet to ask as caretakers for those who cannot speak. Wolves are beautiful noble animals. They're species has given us dogs. We owe them!

Wolves have as much right as humans to live and survive. The killing of wolves and other wild animals is barbaric and inhumane. They were here first and should have places to live just like we do. Thank you.

We need to keep what little widlife we have in tact before we become a country with only cats and dogs. Please help save what little we have left, you have the power to save animals so our kids don't have them read about in books, that we let them go extinct when we have the power to keep them on ths earth. Do your part, make a difference for the now and future of our wildlife.
