Outrageous -- Feds Greenlight Northern Rockies Wolf Slaughter

[Green Mountain Dem]

It’s happened. The Fish & Wildlife Service has made it easier to kill wolves in the Greater Yellowstone and Northern Rockies region -- even while they remain protected under the Endangered Species Act.

Take action now. Tell Interior Secretary Dirk Kempthorne that this rule change is unacceptable.

Support the PAW Act and Help Save Wolves

Aerial hunting of wolves in Alaska is opposed by hunters, scientists and conservationists. Now Congressman George Miller (D-CA) has introduced the Protect America's Wildlife (PAW) Act -- legislation to end aerial hunting of wolves in Alaska and prevent the practice from spreading to the Lower 48 United States. Please urge your Representative to co-sponsor this important legislation.Urge



Stop the Sneak Attack on Wolves in the Northern Rockies
Officials in the Bush/Cheney Administration are moving forward with plans to allow wolves to be killed in Idaho and Wyoming even before the animals are removed from the list of federally protected endangered and threatened species. Send a message to U.S. Secretary of the Interior Dirk Kempthorne and urge him to abandon efforts to let states start killing wolves and to delay de-listing of gray wolves in the Northern Rockies.

Urge Alaska's Governor to End Aerial Wolf Hunting in Alaska
Alaska has taken action to reinstate its aerial gunning program. Under the program, marksmen can gun down wolves from the air or run the wolves to exhaustion, then land and shoot them at point blank range. Urge Governor Sara Palin to withdraw her support for aerial hunting and help us put an end to this needless and brutal practice once and for all.

Thank New Mexico's Governor for Speaking Out for Southwest Wolves
New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson recently suspended his state’s involvement in lethal control of the last remaining 58 southwest wolves. Please take a moment to thank him for standing up for one of America’s most imperiled animals.

I mean birds? Not enough challenge for him? And of course, wolves can read where the edge of the park is.
