*[Enwl-eng] WOLF CRISIS: A War without End?

[ENWLine]

More than 1,100 wolves have been killed as a result of hunting and trapping
in the Northern Rockies since Congress stripped them of Endangered Species
Act protection in 2011.

It's hard to fathom that just two weeks ago, Wyoming opened even more
of their state to the unlimited killing of wolves!

Protecting wolves is a long-term challenge, and we are committed to the
cause. Please help us win the war on wolves with a generous gift today.

It's not just Wyoming. Across the Northern Rockies and beyond,
anti-wolf extremists are mounting a well-funded and unrelenting attack:

* The governor of Montana recently signed a bill into law that prohibits
state wildlife officials from establishing protective buffer zones along
national park borders, a measure that would have helped protect Yellowstone
wolves.

* In Utah, a shameful and fiscally-irresponsible proposal by anti-wolf
extremists just passed out of committee. If finalized, this measure will
allocate $300,000 of taxpayer money to anti-wolf lobbying efforts in
Washington D.C. - aiming to strip the last shreds of federal protection for
nearly all gray wolves across the Lower 48.

* In Idaho, state officials approved a proposal to pay Wildlife Services
$50,000 to kill more wolves.

We're witnessing firsthand what happens when the fate of wolves is turned
over to states with extreme anti-wolf management plans in place.

More than 560 wolves have been killed in the Northern Rockies this
season alone -- and that number continues to rise.

There is no reason to allow this many wolves to be
killed. It's 100% rabid, anti-wolf politics that is driving
state management,
not science. Make no mistake - there is
a war on wolves.

These magnificent and misunderstood top predators need our help.

P.S. The war on wolves is expanding beyond the Northern Rockies. Proposals
are already being debated in Washington to delist nearly all gray wolves
across the Lower 48. Supporters like you are critical to our efforts in
