STOP KILLING WOLVES! These are especially dangerous times for wolves in Idaho. It’s winter days like these when wolves are at greatest risk from bullets and traps, especially those from federal and state agents. Now that food is scarce, wolves will be out foraging – and they’re much easier to track in the snow. So far, hunters and trappers have killed 129 wolves since hunting season began. Wont you support our year-end campaign with a generous donation for the wolves and other vulnerable wildlife we love? Your gift will be matched dollar-for-dollar, up to $100,000 until midnight on December 31st! As you read this, there’s a good chance a wolf is dying somewhere in Idaho. And if the current trend continues, some of them are likely to be an alpha male or female which are critical to the future of their packs and wolf recovery. More and more alpha female wolves are being killed. Only the alpha female of a pack breeds, so when she’s killed, the pack is thrown into chaos – and when spring denning season arrives, no pups are born. The steady loss of mother wolves in Idaho has reached crisis proportions. But there is hope. We can turn this around. Many Idahoans do not share anti-wolf politicians’ desire to dramatically reduce wolf populations. Like you, they understand that wolves restore balance to ecosystems. And they recognize that wolves are important to maintaining healthy ecosystems. Their voices need to be heard.
