30 Wolves Dead in Idaho -- Help Stop the Killing

Dear Center Supporter, Help protect wolves. Make a gift today. 30 dead wolves -- 29 shot, one trapped. That's the total so far in Idaho's grisly wolf-hunting season. In the past few weeks, 30 wolf families have been shattered. And the anti-wolf zealots want more. They're howling with glee. On Facebook groups like "The Only Good Wolf is a Dead Wolf," they've been sharing photos of the bloody carcasses of their victims -- egging each other on to "smoke a pack a day." With as few as 550 wolves left in the entire state, these wolves are in danger of being wiped out by killers whose mantra is "shoot, shovel and shut up." The Center for Biological Diversity is in a running fight with these killers, who want to spread Idaho's terror across every state where wolves are trying to recover. You can help us stop them with a donation to the Predator Defense Fund. If we don't stop them, the killers will hunt down wolf families from the Great Lakes to the Pacific, wiping them out for the second time in a century. They don't want a single wolf family left in the wild, and their friends in Congress have their backs. The Center is currently fighting a slew of sneaky congressional "riders," amendments that would end federal protection of wolves in states like Minnesota and Wyoming. Wolves need the best defense possible, and the Center is there for them. In the past year, we succeeded in getting the wolf hunt cancelled in Wyoming, saving scores of wolves. We ended a disgusting wolf-killing "derby" contest on BLM federal land, and made Idaho's wolf-hating governor, Butch Otter, abruptly end the mission of a bounty hunter the state had sent to kill packs in the Frank Church-River of No Return Wilderness. We'll continue our defense of wolves, but we can only do so with your support. Give to the Predator Defense Fund, and we will commit your donation to protecting wolves in the wild. We mourn the 30 wolves needlessly killed this season in Idaho, and we will work without cease to save wolves everywhere we can.
