Greater Yellowstone Wolves Delisted - Protest Now!

Target: U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service
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.
deadline: Ongoing...
goal: 50,000

We respect your privacy. Your email address is used to confirm your signature and is NOT displayed publicly.
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!

The fact that a natural predator would be deemed dangerous is just another way for ingnorant individuals to justify their slaughter. We are not alone on this planet and we need to stop the cycle of our species constantly breaking the circle of life for the sake of profit or personal gain.

Wolves are not that dangerous. I, and a few friends of mine, have run into a wolf at one point or another, and find their threat to be totally blown out of proportion. I admit the way they eat can seem morbid, but so are plenty of the fat people at MacDonalds and no one wants to shoot, gas, or beat dead, and those guy can really get violent when you ask for some of his fries. So far the only threat I see are the highly aggressive and ill evolved people who want to hurt these animals Sorry if that sounds rude but thats just how my experience has been in viewing this situation. God would not want us to kill his fellow creatures.
