Breaking: Snipers Snuff Out Four More Wolves In Washington. More grim news out of Washington state: Snipers have killed four more wolves -- three adults and a female pup. The Profanity Peak wolf pack family has been shattered, reduced to just one adult struggling to care for the four surviving four-month-old pups.
The killing of this pack -- which, once it's done, will have wiped out 12 percent of the wild wolves in the state -- has been authorized by Washington's wildlife agency despite evidence that a rancher placed his cattle right over the pack's den. Robert Weilgus, director of the Large Carnivore Conservation Lab at Washington State University, told reporters that "This livestock operator elected to put his livestock directly on top of their den site; we have pictures of cows swamping it." We can't allow this kind of provocation to keep leading to state-sanctioned wolf slaughter.
It's time for the gloves to come off -- we're in a bareknuckle fight for these animals' survival. But time is not on our side, so please help now. Make a donation today to the Center's Wolf Defense Fund.
Wolves desperately need our help. Not only are the state bureaucrats in Washington hoping to finish off the Profanity Peak pack, local Ferry County officials also swear they'll take matters into their own hands. They've said they're eager to send their sheriff to finish the job by killing any remaining pack members. This would be a gross violation of the law and set a terrible precedent -- a local posse bent on killing is brutal and primitive. When and if Ferry County tries this tactic, the Center's ready to go to court to stop it.
Please help us in this war on wolves with a donation to the Wolf Defense Fund.
The Center is leading the counterattack against the wolf haters. From Washington, D.C. to Washington state, our lawyers, scientists and activists are fighting anti-wolf extremists who would destroy the progress we've made over the past quarter-century. We've saved the lives of countless wolves across America, shutting down those trying to turn their habitat into feedlots, timber farms and open-pit mines.
I know you believe in a future where wolves still live wild. Please help us make that future real with a gift to the Wolf Defense Fund today.
Under relentless pressure from special interests in North Carolina, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) has all but abandoned its efforts to recover these shy wolves in the wild. Red wolves can still be recovered, but not without a dedicated effort from FWS.
As you read this, there are no more than 60 red wolves in the wild, down from almost 150. That number could reach zero if FWS does not take immediate action to protect and expand the existing wolf population as well as prepare a revised recovery plan that ensures the recovery of red wolves in the wild in the Southeastern U.S. Insist that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service not abandon red wolf recovery!
Lee McIrvin should be fined, and make land available to replace the wolf pack, Profanity Peak, that was murdered.

Every day the wolf disappears a little more. We have to stop this, before it's too late. We have to fight for the future of the wolves, and the future of us knowing them.

Speak Out For Red Wolves. Red wolves are dangerously close to extinction in the wild, and they need your help.
