Protect America’s Wolves

BREAKING: On February 2, 2024, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service announced that the wolves of the Northern Rockies are “not warranted” for federal protection pursuant to the Endangered Species Act.

Over 4,000 wolves have been legally killed in the U.S. since 2020, with the concentrated killing of the Northern Rocky Mountain wolves through state sanctioned hunting, trapping, snaring, and being legally chased down by hounds and all terrain vehicles.

Wolves need protection STILL.

Despite the nationwide relisting of gray wolves following the recent legal victory, the war on wolves is raging today as much as it ever has with state wildlife commissions and legislators in the Northern Rockies. Aggressive state laws in places like Montana and Idaho are using the same killing methods — completely ignoring sound science — that eradicated wolves across North America, from baiting to trapping to bounties. We stopped the 2021 fall hunt of wolves in Wisconsin and now we aim to do the same in Montana.

It’s time for the federal government to step in because states clearly cannot be trusted to do anything other than kill wolves. The lack of a national recovery plan and consistent protection across wolves’ historic range means that dispersing wolves are likely to be shot or trapped, never to find a mate and advance their species’ recovery. These hunts will undo decades of progress. Without intervention, this mass slaughter of wolves will not only imperil their survival as a species but set back conservation in entire ecosystems that depend on wolves to keep them in balance
