Wolves Under Congressional Attack -- Take Action Today
America's wolves are under assault. Congress is considering no fewer than three separate bills to remove federal protection from wolves in the western Great Lakes states. If any of these bills become law, thousands of wolves will be cruelly killed by hunters and trappers. We cannot allow this to happen.
Congress will be considering the following bills:
S.154: the cynically named "HELP for Wildlife Act," which would strip federal protection from Great Lakes wolves and block the courts from reviewing the move.
H.R. 242: The "Gray Wolf State Management Act of 2017" would also remove federal protection from Great Lakes wolves.
2018 Interior and Environment Appropriations Bill: This budget bill funds many government agencies, including the Fish and Wildlife Service. The 2018 budget bill contains two anti-wolf provisions: one which would block funding for protections for all wolves across all lower 48 states, and one which would strip protections from wolves in the Great Lakes region.
TAKE ACTION -- contact your representatives in Congress and demand that they protect America's wolves.
Dear [Representative],
I'm appalled by the three bills that are currently being considered by Congress to strip federal protection from America's wolves.
[Your comment will be added here]
These continuous attacks on our country's endangered wolves are shameful, cruel and unacceptable. I insist that you oppose any legislation that attacks these iconic creatures that are the natural heritage of every American. Thank you.
Sincerely,
[Your name]
