actionnetwork.orgTell Congress to reject attacks on gray wolvesLegislation in Congress could strip wolves of Endangered Species Act protections and open the door to unsustainable hunting and trapping.
Representative Lauren Boebert (R-CO) put forth legislation that would kick wolves off of the endangered species list from
coast-to-coast and allow states to set hunting and trapping seasons. It
would even prevent courts from reviewing the action.
Most worryingly, this bill is often included in annual, must-pass bills
as a "poison pill rider." Recent anti-wolf riders have been removed from must-pass bills in the final negotiations - thanks to pressure from wolf advocates.
These bills would result in grave damage to wolf populations and the
Endangered Species Act if they become law. We are seeing the results of
state management of gray wolves in the Northern Rockies states of Idaho,
Montana, and Wyoming where few limits are in places to prevent
unethical and unsustainable killing and–in Idaho–even bounties are
offered for dead wolves.
Please contact your senators and representative and ask that they oppose bills to strip protections for wolves.
