Still fighting to Save the Wolves of Yellowstone!
Posted by msterilinn on Feb 22, 2008
This is a battle we will not back down from! Even though yesterday, as of Noon Eastern time, the Bush/Cheney Administration eliminated vital Endangered Species Act protections for hundreds of wolves in Greater Yellowstone and the Northern Rockies, we refuse to give up!
If you are wondering how you can help the fight to save these beautiful, noble and VITAL creatures, look into your situation and either donate, or let your voice be heard. Here is an example of what Defenders of Wildlife will do..
“Your donation will provide vital funding to help support our legal advocacy to stop the de-listing. It will also support the efforts of our on-the-ground staff in Idaho, Montana and across the country who are working tirelessly to save wolves and other wildlife every day by…
* Hiring range riders and paying for non lethal wolf control to reduce conflicts between wolves and ranchers;
* Motivating supporters to submit nearly half of the roughly 280,000 comments opposing the de-listing decision during the official public comment period;[1]
* Mobilizing conservationists to attend local meetings and public hearings and speak out for common-sense wolf management;
* And, much, much more.
In fact, by the time federal officials announced the de-listing, thousands of caring Defenders supporters and activists were already hard at work.
By our estimates, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service received 5,000-20,000 phone calls from supporters who were outraged by the decision to allow states to kill as many as 70% [2] of the wolves in Greater Yellowstone and the Northern Rockies.
I wish federal officials could hear from each and every one of the thousands and thousands who tried to call and tell them how much they care about these wolves. But I want you to know that we are committed to making sure that your voices are heard on this important issue. And, together, we will win this fight!!”
All of Earths creatures are Sacred. Please take a few moments to visit a recent post Wolves and Trees… the Balance of Nature and see for yourself the vital relation between Wolves and the surrounding ecosystem.
