HELP Endangered Wolves! Bush Administration to strip wolves of federal protection, leaving them vulnerable to mass killings. Sign online petition today, asking your Representative to oppose wolf-killing plans!  For the second time in a month, the Bush Administration has taken aim at endangered wolves in Greater Yellowstone and the Northern Rockies. Yesterday the administration announced plans to strip the region's 1,500 wolves of protection under the Endangered Species Act. Just last month, the administration handed down a new License to Kill rule that would allow Wyoming and Idaho to slaughter hundreds of wolves by hunting, trapping and aerial gunning. Our partner organization, the Natural Resources Defense Council, has already filed suit in federal court to block the License to Kill rule. And NRDC responded immediately to this news by announcing a second lawsuit that will challenge the plan to drop wolves from the endangered species list. Meanwhile, the NRDC Action Fund is responding by stepping up our mobilization campaign by sounding the media alarm and building unstoppable public pressure on Congress to take action in defense of America's wolves. You can tell your own Representative to oppose the Bush Administration's wolf-killing plans here: Click here to take action: http://www.nrdconline.org/campaign/Act_Now_To_Protect_Gray_Wolves_012008 And your donation will enable us to keep running our wolf-saving ad in national newspapers: https://secure.nrdconline.org/08/wolves_printad_nytimes The Bush Administration has launched this newest attack on wolves despite the opposition of hundreds of thousands of Americans . . . despite the objection of leading wildlife biologists . . . and despite the fact that wolves have NOT fully recovered in the Northern Rockies. Stripping wolves of their federal protection will leave them at the mercy of states that are ready to launch wolf extermination campaigns at the behest of special interests, including livestock ranchers and elk hunting outfitters. By unleashing this wolf-killing machine, the Bush Administration threatens to destroy one of the greatest success stories of the Endangered Species Act: the return of the gray wolf to Yellowstone and its surrounding wildlands. We must not let that happen! I know you'll continue standing with us in the critical weeks ahead as we go all-out to ensure a future for America's wolves.
