USA and International: Howl for the Wolves and Get the Law Changed – NOW !

unst0001

HOWL FOR THE WOLVES – Especially Americans, but all nationalities can contribute by sending a message – read on.


On May 4, government agents will be free to open fire. Once the public hunts begin, more than 600 wolves could be killed. Not even newborn wolf pups and their nursing mothers will be protected from the crossfire.

We’re counting on you to help us build a national outcry to stop this wildlife massacre before it starts. Please add your voice to The Big Howl by sending an urgent message to Interior Secretary Salazar to call off the guns!

It only takes a few seconds — and could save the lives of hundreds of wolves in Idaho and Montana.
 

 

 

That’s why NRDC is launching The Big Howl campaign to mobilize Americans everywhere to protect wolves in the Northern Rockies from the crossfire.

Add your voice now to our campaign. Tell Interior Secretary Salazar to reverse his decision to kick wolves off the endangered species list.
This is absolutely the wrong time to rip away federal protections from these struggling wolves. Over the past year, the wolf population in Yellowstone National Park has declined by 27 percent, with more than 70 percent of wolf pups succumbing to disease.
 

 

One pack alone lost all 24 of its pups!

If the federal protections are lifted on May 4 as planned, newborn wolf pups and their nursing mothers traveling outside national parks will be in the line of fire.
That’s why NRDC and our partners are filing suit in federal court to block this disastrous policy. But we must do more: we must raise a nationwide outcry that the Obama Administration cannot ignore.
And so we’re calling on everyone who cares about wolves to take part in The Big Howl campaign.

Please call on the Interior Department to go back to the drawing board and submit this cruel plan to the kind of rigorous scientific review the Obama Administration has promised.

Because you have always stood up for wildlife, I’m contacting you first to take part in The Big Howl campaign.

After you send your own message, I will let you know about an easy way to spread the word to your friends and family. We need at least one million messages to save the wolves — so get ready to rally your friends and family to add their own voices to The Big Howl.

 

 

 

Sincerely,
Frances Beinecke
President
Natural Resources Defense Council

P.S. Hearing the wolf howl after you take action is a poignant reminder of why we must act swiftly to save these treasured icons of the American West — before their federal protections are lifted on May 4. So please speak out today, and then tell everyone you know to take part in The Big Howl.
