Mona,
Wyoming wolf populations are the lowest they’ve been in two decades.
That’s in large part due to a lethal canine disease that swept through Yellowstone’s packs last year, which was especially deadly to wolf pups.
Despite this blow, Wyoming is still planning to send out hunters this year, setting a goal to kill 22 more wolves during the fall hunting season.
Tell the Wyoming Game and Fish Department: Gives wolves a chance to recover. Zero wolves should be killed this hunting season.
People travel to Wyoming from all over the world hoping to catch a glimpse of Yellowstone's beloved wolf packs as they play, hunt and warm themselves in the sun of the Lamar Valley.
And yet just over the invisible line that separates the park from the rest of the state, Wyoming is an incredibly deadly place to be a wolf.
Not only does the state set kill quotas like this every year, but it’s legal to kill wolves in shockingly cruel ways, including something called “wolf-whacking,” where hunters run over wolves with snowmobiles.
How can wolves be so cherished in one part of the state, then shot, snared, gunned down or run over just a few miles away?
Take action to protect Wyoming wolves.
The disease that swept through Yellowstone last year was a wakeup call. With populations the lowest they’ve been since wolves were first reestablished in the region, Wyoming officials decided to cut this year’s kill quota in half.
That’s a good first step. But it’s not enough.
Wolves deserve to roam beyond the wild mountains of Yellowstone without fear of suffering a cruel, agonizing death. And if Wyoming’s packs are going to thrive again, we have to reduce this year’s hunting quota to zero.
Sign the petition: No wolf hunts in Wyoming.
Thank you,
