This is horrible The killing has resumed. Montana’s hunting season began in earnest on September 15th. Last year hunters and trappers killed off more than one third of the state’s entire wolf population. With a host of new and deadly hunting and trapping provisions, Montana is set to become a wolf tragedy in the making. We can’t let that happen. Please help save wolves and other imperiled wildlife with a generous gift to Defenders of Wildlife. Anti-wolf forces are determined to drive wolf populations down to the bare minimum. Earlier this year, they introduced a shameful batch of anti-wolf measures in the Montana legislature. And they could spell disaster for Montana’s wolves: The cost for out-of state-hunters to purchase MT hunting licenses to kill wolves dramatically dropped from $350 to only $50, thus encouraging hunting of more wolves by out-of-state hunters; It’s now legal this season to use electronic devices to lure wolves to their death; The number of wolves a person can kill during hunting and trapping season has increased from one wolf in 2011 to five wolves this season; and As of now, hunters can now walk right up to the Yellowstone National Park border and shoot any wolf that crosses the invisible park boundary – even if it’s just for a minute
