We need your help to stop this cruel wolf killing act!

Even when we thought things couldn't worsen for Idaho's wolves, they have. The state's Senate has approved a bill that kills 90% of Idaho's wolves. There are many different methods of doing this, including traps, snares, aerial shooting, baiting, nighttime spot lights, electronic calls, and even running over with snowmobiles.

There is no limit to the way you can kill wolves. There's even a law that allows almost anything in terms of hunting, including night-vision goggles and helicopter shooting.

In this bill, biologists who manage wildlife for the agency will have their authority taken away, and their management will be based on non-scientific methods.

Idaho Fish and Game's data show that elk harvests have not changed. The number of elk in Idaho has increased since 1995. Senator Harris expressed the same falsehoods that have contributed to Idaho's already terrible management. He claimed that wolves are causing problems for elk hunters and livestock owners which is not the case!

USDA figures indicate that wolves are not a significant threat to livestock. Over 1,400 wolves in Idaho will be killed under this bill, wolves already hunted and trapped year-round. 

There are many benefits to Idaho from wolves, from ecosystem regeneration to tourism dollars. Americans and Idahoans support wolf recovery and the need to maintain wolves as part of the ecosystem.

However, Idaho's wolf population needs to be protected. We’re deeply disappointed in Brad Little's move in signing this harsh and unjust bill into law.

Please show your support by signing this petition! Together we can STOP this violent act and protect Idaho wolves before they are lost to this horrific bill!
