OR-7 Has New Pups -- Help Protect Them

Help save the West's wolves. Make a gift today. Dear Center Supporter, There's a new bill in Congress that would make it legal to kill the most famous wolf in the world, his mate and their new pups. OR-7 traveled hundreds of miles to become the first wolf in California in nearly a century, earning the admiration of millions. He then settled down with a mate, and wildlife officials have just announced they have a new litter of pups. But this young pack is in danger -- new legislation will put OR-7 and his family in the crosshairs. The Center for Biological Diversity is fighting to keep OR-7 and other wolves safe in the West. You can help with a contribution to the Predator Defense Fund. This deadly new bill would end federal protection for wolves in much of the West, including OR-7's home in the Rogue-Siskiyou National Forest. Wolves have barely started to recover west of the Rockies -- there are only 145 across more than 250,000 square miles. When Echo, the first wolf at the Grand Canyon in more than 70 years, was gunned down in December, it showed what can happen to wolves who return to their historic range. Now right-wing politicians want to make sure the same thing happens to OR-7's pack. You can help stop this bill with a donation to the Predator Defense Fund. This bill ends protection in the heart of the rugged wild, where wolves roamed for millennia until they were wiped out by the extermination campaigns of the early 20th century. If the wolf-haters have their way, a new massacre will obliterate them again. The Center knows how to win for wolves -- just last year we ended wolf hunting in Wyoming, stopped a predator killing contest in Idaho, and pressured the governor of Washington into ending the slaughter of the Huckleberry pack. Our lawyers, scientists and activists are committed to preserving protection for wolves under the Endangered Species Act, and seeing them return across the West. Your gift to the Predator Defense Fund will sustain this work and help protect wolves as they journey home.
