Answer the Wolf’s
Distress Call
Join THE BIG HOWL
Take action,
then hear the wolf howl.
It’s going to take a
national outcry to block the massacre of hundreds of wolves in
Idaho and Montana -- which could start as early as May 4 when
their federal protections are removed.
Speak out now
against the killing. Add your voice to The Big Howl,
NRDC’s new rapid-response mobilization campaign.

| | Dear Richard,
In just a few weeks, the
mass killing of wolves could begin in Idaho and Montana --
and not even newborn wolf pups and their nursing mothers
will be spared.
We cannot stand by while this
slaughter unfolds. On May 4, the wolf's federal
protection will be lifted, and government agents will be free to
open fire. After that, the states will launch public
hunts, targeting wolves.
We must act now to call off the
guns!
That's why NRDC is launching The Big Howl
campaign to mobilize Americans everywhere to protect wolves in
the Northern Rockies from the crossfire.
Add
your voice now to our campaign. Tell Interior Secretary
Salazar to reverse his decision to kick wolves off the
endangered species list.
This is absolutely the wrong
time to rip away federal protections from these struggling
wolves. Over the past year, the wolf population in Yellowstone
National Park has declined by 27 percent, with
more than 70 percent of wolf pups succumbing to disease.
One pack alone lost all 24 of its pups!
If the
federal protections are lifted on May 4 as planned, newborn wolf
pups and their nursing mothers traveling outside national parks
will be in the line of fire.
That's why NRDC and our
partners are filing suit in federal court to block this
disastrous policy. But we must do more: we must raise a
nationwide outcry that the Obama Administration cannot
ignore.
And so we're calling on everyone who
cares about wolves to take
part in The Big Howl campaign.
Please call
on the Interior Department to go back to the drawing board and
submit this cruel plan to the kind of rigorous scientific review
the Obama Administration has promised.
Because you have
always stood up for wildlife, I'm contacting you first to take
part in The Big Howl campaign.
After you send
your own message, I will let you know about an easy way to
spread the word to your friends and family. We need at least one
million messages to save the wolves -- so get ready to rally
your friends and family to add their own voices to The Big
Howl.
Sincerely,
 
Frances Beinecke
President
Natural Resources Defense Council
P.S. Hearing
the wolf howl after you take action is a poignant reminder
of why we must act swiftly to save these treasured icons of the
American West -- before their federal protections are lifted on
May 4. So please speak out today, and then tell everyone you
know to take part in The Big Howl. |
