Wildlife Services Targeting Minnesota's Wolves -- Stop Them

Help Stop the Government's Rogue Wildlife-Killing Machine Dear Center Supporter, When their snipers gunned down 19 wolves from a helicopter in Idaho last month, the ironically named Wildlife Services revealed once again just how ruthless and reckless this government killing crew has become. Now they've been given the green light to start killing wolves again in Minnesota, where last year they trapped and gunned down 172. And it's not just Minnesota's wolves that are at stake. Wildlife Services is the shadowy agency that serves as the government's contract killers of wildlife. They show up when governors, powerful corporations and Big Ag call, slaughtering more than 3 million animals a year -- including wolves, bears, mountain lions, hawks and otters. They operate without accountability, behind a veil of secrecy, and we've just gone to court to stop them. To win this critical lawsuit we need your help with a donation to our Stop Wildlife Services Fund. We've filed suit to stop Wildlife Services in Idaho, where their aerial snipers, neck traps and cyanide land mines kill thousands of wild animals every year. We aim to take this powerful government program down and stop their slaughter -- a costly endeavor, but one we're committed to seeing through. That's why we need your contribution to our Stop Wildlife Services Fund. Our scientists, lawyers and activists will put your support straight to work shutting down this rogue agency. In 2013 alone, Wildlife Services killed 25,653 beavers, 866 bobcats, 528 river otters, 973 red-tailed hawks and 419 black bears. Since 2001 they've spent more than $1 billion in taxpayers' money to kill animals. Congressman Peter DeFazio says: "Wildlife Services is one of the most opaque and least accountable agencies that I know of in the federal government. They are a world unto themselves. And that's a world we are not allowed to see into." You can help us today to fight this rogue program. Let's stop this government killing machine. For the wild, Kierán Suckling Executive Director Center for Biological Diversity @KieranSuckling P.S. A key legislative committee in Idaho has just approved another $400,000 for wolf-killing, much of which will go to Wildlife Services. We have to end this.
