The Idaho Department of Fish and Game has begun selling an estimated 70,000 permits to hunt and kill wolves in Idaho, allowing 220 wolves to be killed starting on September 1st in the first-ever state regulated hunt of gray wolves in the continental United States. Over 20 wolves have already been killed. This could be the worst wolf massacre in the Lower 48 United States since the 1930s. Please sign the petition to Interior Secretary Salazar now urging him to immediately reinstate Endangered Species Act protections for wolves in the Norther Rockies!
In March, President Obama's Interior Department approved the Bush Administration's discredited plan to eliminate Endangered Species Act protections for wolves in Idaho and Montana. And now, the Idaho Department of Fish and Game has announced it will begin selling an estimated 70,000 permits to hunt and kill wolves in Idaho, allowing 220 wolves to be killed starting on September 1st in the first-ever state regulated hunt of gray wolves in the continental United States.

Idaho's announcement comes on the heels of Montana's plan to hunt 75 wolves starting in October. These numbers would be over and above the wolves already killed each year by other means of lethal control, as well as natural deaths. All these actions combined threaten the recovery of the still vulnerable regional wolf population in the Northern Rockies.

This could be the worst wolf massacre in the Lower 48 United States since the 1930s.

HERES WAT I HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THIS
when it comes to hunting wolves that is more than it should be is cruel, hunting wolves should be banned because people exaggerate when they hunt.Most of the time people torture them and let them die.Wolves can even die out if you do this due to the number people that are going to hunt them now.Without wolves the whole ecosystem can go crazy.So please hear our plea don't allow this.Wolves have feelings like us they feel fear and pain, they aren't just animals.Wolves are an endangered species and should be kept protected and shouldn't be hunted.I am an animal lover mostly with wolves and I vow to try my best to protect these beatiful animals.Only a person with out a heart can destroy these graceful creatures.Just imagine your self with your children being hunted down seeing your family killed by hunters, you have to see by the wolves point of view and feel thier fear.

Please don't let hundereds of wolves die even if they aren't your favorite animals PLEASE GO TO THIS WEBSITE AND SIGN THE PETITION!!!
