When
Congress stripped Endangered Species Act protection from gray wolves
last spring, wolves in Wyoming were lucky enough not to be affected. But
their luck seems to be running out.
The
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service recently announced that Wyoming's wolves
will lose their federal protected status and management will be turned
over to the state wildlife agency, completing the destructive delisting
of all northern Rockies wolves. This will drastically reduce the state's
population and allow wholesale persecution of wolves across 83 percent
of the state.
The
Center for Biological Diversity has been at the forefront of efforts to
protect our country's wolves. We need your help to ensure these wolves
get the lifesaving protection they deserve. Under Wyoming's
"wolf-management plan," wolves would be declared predatory animals,
legal targets for anyone to shoot on sight. Only 100 animals in the
entire state will be protected outside Yellowstone and Grand Teton
national parks.
Please take action now to help save Wyoming's wolves and then learn about the Center's ambitious campaign to restore gray wolves to the lower 48 states
