Okay, here's the deal. In Wyoming and Idaho, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife service have decided to strip endangered wolves of their protected status. Soon the price for a wolves death will be only 9.75 US. Dollars. Basically, they're preparing for a huge slaughter that would bring the wolf's numbers down to 20% of what it is now, by launching a massive aerial hunting spree. Basically they'll fly over wolves and shoot them in the head and leave them to rot. You can help, if you believe this is a worthy cause. Please, take action. It will only take a minute out of your time to sign a petition and add your plea to the many that have already cried out at the injustice of this. Go here:

For those of you that have a little extra money and you believe in saving these animals, you can also donate to help their cause. They want 200,000 signatures and only have less than half of that. They need to meet their goal by the 9th of May. Tell people you know that would care. We have to spread the word to get them to notice. Don't let them wipe out one of our American brothers; a staple of wild beauty for North America. You *can* make a difference, if you just speak up, others will listen. That's really all I have to say. I hope some of you will take note of this and decide that the wolves *are* worth saving. I know I feel that way.

When I heard of this, I was shocked and disgusted. They honestly do plan on 'managing' the wolf population, by cutting it down by 80%. There are currently only around 1500 wolves in that area, so just imagine how many wolves they would have to kill - 1300 wolves will be shot in the head during aerial hunting raids. Please, I know we can all make a difference in saving these beautiful animals. They're using the excuse that they kill livestock, when 1 out of 1000 livestock is killed each year by wolves, when they get reimbursed for their losses by the government.
Let me stop to reassure you that wolves are listed as Threatened in Minnisota, and Endangered in the lower 48 states. Their population has no need for 'control' when they are still trying to recover from their extremely low population numbers.
Idaho and Wyoming have a grand total of 1500 wolves.. That means they will be killing 1300 to bring the wolves population down to their desired level.. This can and must be stopped..

However, they only have untill May 9. I have been trying my best to get them the amount of signatures they need, from the very beginning of this, but we're running out of time.. I am hoping this is the right forum to post this.. If not, please remove it..
If so.. Please.. Help them. This is a baseless, meaningless slaughter that has to be prevented.

Again, it's very simple to help. It will only take a moment to save these beautiful creatures.

Edit: Moved to a more applicable forum.
