Gray wolves in Montana and Idaho are being targeted by states that have authorized the killing of as many as 90 percent of the population.
In Montana, one can sit just feet outside of Yellowstone National Park and gun down as many as 10 wolves each.
In Idaho, private contractors have been hired by the state to trap and shoot nearly all the wolves in their borders.
Montana will soon allow the use of deadly and indiscriminate neck snares that strangle the animal unfortunate enough to come across them.
The Biden Administration needs to act. Dan Ashe, the former director of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under President Obama, called for emergency protections for gray wolves in a Washington Post column. In it, Ashe detailed the authority that Secretary Deb Haaland has to do so and provided ample reasons for this action.
Biden and Haaland are entrusted with the caretaking of our natural spaces and the species that live on them. Their inaction to date is inexcusable.
Please join me in writing to the Department of Interior at DOI.gov and ask that they finally act to protect wolves in the Northern Rockies before it is too late.
