A plea from The Sierra Club -- wolves being poisoned and shot for the XL Keystone Pipeline! Strychnine is a deadly poison — but it’s slow. A wolf pup that’s eaten bait laced with strychnine will die of suffocation, but only after hours of excruciating muscle spasms and convulsions. That’s the cruel fate Canada has in store for wolves that get in the way of tar sands production. Wolves are being poisoned—or, if they’re "lucky," they’re dying quickly by a helicopter-fired gunshot. It’s politicians’ answer to the disappearance of caribou that have lost their habitat to dirty tar sands oil development. You read that right—wolves are dying to make way for tar sands and the Keystone XL pipeline. It’s like some sick alternate universe where Sarah Palin is in charge. Help us protect wildlife, stop the Keystone XL pipeline and stand up to the dirty fossil fuel industries polluting our environment - join the Sierra Club today! Our goal is to reach 1,000 new members before September 12. Let’s unite and stop this lethal pipeline. Within the next few months, we will know once and for all whether the Obama administration will allow Keystone XL to be built. Sierra Club members have marched and petitioned against it for years, but now we’re in the final stretch—and it’s going to take everything we’ve got to stop dirty tar sands from destroying everything we hold dear. We can do it with your added support.
