Dear Shirley, Things aren?t looking good for Northern Rockies wolves. At a Boise rally of anti-wolf zealots, Idaho Governor ?Butch? Otter told the crowd, "I'm prepared to bid for that first ticket to shoot a wolf myself." He then endorsed a plan to kill 54 of the state?s 65 packs -- over 80 percent of the state?s wolves. In Wyoming, the state legislature is moving forward with a bill to ?aggressively manage? their wolf populations by killing up to 66% of wolves in their state outside national park boundaries. We need your help to stop them. Please support our work with your emergency gift of $100, $50, $35 or another amount. Any day now, the Bush-Cheney Administration could sanction the largest massacre of wolves to occur in the lower 48 states in decades. And in Wyoming and Idaho, state governments are preparing plans to make it happen. These irresponsible proposals could even lead to the killing of Yellowstone wolves. As individuals and packs cross park boundaries, they would find themselves directly in the line of fire. Defenders of Wildlife is working hard on the ground, fighting against what would be the most significant setback in wolf recovery in decades. We?ve already mobilized more than 47,000 activists to urge the Fish & Wildlife Service to keep protections for wolves in place. Northern Rockies Representative Suzanne Stone has given dozens of media interviews and is coordinating with state and local conservation groups, ranchers and sportsmen to stop these misguided plans. And that?s not all we?re doing. We?re rallying our activists on the ground, launching public education campaigns and are preparing for legal action to ensure protection for Western wolves. But we?re going to need your help. Your tax-deductible emergency donation will help prevent a Northern Rockies wolf slaughter. The future of our wolves depends on you. Sincerely, Rodger Schlickeisen President Defenders of Wildlife P.S. Your online donation makes an immediate impact. You can also make a contribution over the phone by calling 1-800-385-9712.
