A few days ago, the state opened a new, even more aggressive hunting season. Their goal: Killing a shocking 458 wolves in just a few short months. |
Jack, Last year, Montana hunted down and killed 297 wolves. To you and I, it was a heartbreaking slaughter. But to the state’s leaders, it didn’t go nearly far enough. Now, the state has opened a new, even more aggressive hunting season. Their goal: Killing a shocking 458 wolves in just a few short months. Tell Montana Governor Greg Gianforte: End the wolf hunts. |
Hundreds of thousands of wolves once roamed what became the United States. Today, just a few thousand survive across the entire Lower 48. In Montana, there are as few as 920 surviving in the wild -- and this year’s hunt could see half of them killed. Each individual hunter will be allowed to kill as many as 30 wolves between now and mid-March. This is the same kind of industrial-scale, heartless slaughter that once pushed wolves to the brink of extinction in the Lower 48. Add your name: It’s time to end Montana’s wolf hunts. |
