I am sharing this from Facebook, I have been following the "slaughter" of the Yellowstone wolves this "hunting" season. In Montana especially they are baiting the wolves just barely outside of the park so they can lure them out of the park to kill them I will be calling the governor starting next Monday
Last week they wiped out the entire Phantom Lake pack There are only 94 wolves left in Yellowstone-which took the last 25 years of work to bring back-to benefit the ecosystem there. I have been reading about the Yellowstone wolves and had no idea of the total hatred of wolves by the ranchers there.
I believe in hunting for food-this is Not hunting.
CALL TO ACTION FOR WOLVES
The Superintendent of Yellowstone, Cam Sholly, has asked Montana Gov Gianforte to call off and shut down all shooting and all trapping in the entire area surrounding YNP in the wake of 20 dead Yellowstone wolves and counting! The entire Phantom Lake Pack is now considered “eliminated”. Only approximately 94 wolves remain in Yellowstone.
We must back up the superintendent and hammer Gianforte’s office with calls !!! Wolves that roam over YNP border (or wolves that are lured out) are being shot dead! 406-444-3111 ( Toll Free 855-318-1330)
Call everyday 8 AM to 5 PM, Mon-Fri MST (Mountain Standard Time). As difficult as it is, be polite but firm and tell his office that you are aware of the request the Yellowstone Superintendent has made of the governor to cease and desist all shooting and trapping surrounding the entire area of YNP, and how dare the hunters target Yellowstone wolves who are habituated to the presence of humans and we ARE AWARE of Yellowstone wolves even being lured out of the park, while shooters wait. We are aware that you’re using baited traps too.
We are appalled that a complete pack — The Phantom Lake Pack has been completely wiped out. Yellowstone wolves are the animals tourists from around the world come to see yearly and lay down approximately 1/2 a billion a year to view these familiar and loved wolf packs. Your administration is hurting the surrounding businesses financially to say the least!
( Really say whatever you want to say — these are just a few talking points )
Montana’s plan is to kill wolves, by any means, until the end of summer ridding the state of 90% of their wolves. —- Yellowstone wolves are falling victim to their hatred and are easy targets once they wander out of the park,even a short distance. And trapping has just begun so we have to come down hard and heavy or there will be a real threat of depleting the wolves of Yellowstone and 25 years of progress.
