The body count is rising. As of Monday, 21 wolves had been killed in Idaho and nine in Montana in the first-ever state regulated hunt of gray wolves in the continental United States.
Take action now»
In March, Interior Secretary Salazar approved the Bush Administration's discredited plan to eliminate Endangered Species Act protections for wolves in Idaho and Montana.
And now, 220 wolves could be killed in Idaho and 75 in Montana this year alone.
Please urge Secretary Salazar to reinstate federal protections for Northern Rockies wolves immediately»
Idaho hosts the core of the Northern Rockies wolf population, with approximately 1,000 wolves.
By wiping out at least 220 wolves -- and that's just this year -- the state will cripple the regional wolf population by isolating wolves into disconnected subgroups incapable of genetic or ecological sustainability.
No other endangered species has ever been delisted at such a low population level and then immediately hunted to even lower unsustainable levels. This isn't wolf recovery; it's a rejection of responsible wildlife conservation principles.
Please send your message to Secretary Salazar today to protect Idaho's wolves! 
Thank you for making a difference today,

P.S. This could be the worst wolf massacre in the Lower 48 United States since the 1930s. Hundreds of defenseless wolves will be shot, with many surviving wolf pups left to starve to death. Unless we stop it.
