The Center for Biological Diversity and allies just sued the Trump
administration to shut down the government's wildlife killing in
Idaho.
Our newest suit targets the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Wildlife Services program, which killed thousands of animals last year in the state -- including wolves, coyotes, bears, mountain lions and foxes.
The slaughter has to be stopped. Help us end it with a gift to our Trump Resistance Fund today. Your gift will be matched dollar for dollar.
This is the 16th lawsuit the Center has filed against the Trump administration, which is bent on doing everything it can to wipe out wildlife, pollute our air and destroy public lands.
Wildlife Services is a rogue government program that operates out of public view. Last year it slaughtered 2.7 million animals across the country -- mostly to appease ranching and agricultural interests.
The program's plan for Idaho is as misguided as it is cruel, using aerial gunners, exploding poisons and deadly traps.
Lawsuits fighting Trump are expensive but critical to protecting wildlife. Please make a matched donation to the Center's Trump Resistance Fund.
Wildlife Services' tactics don't just threaten targeted species -- their indiscriminate cyanide landmines have killed endangered wolves and family pets. They even caused the recent hospitalization of a teenage boy, and the death of his dog, when the two stumbled on a cyanide device during a walk near their home.
This is the third suit we've filed against Trump's administration to stop Wildlife Services' brutal wildlife-killing tactics -- and we need you by our side.

Study: Trump's Border Wall Threatens 93 Endangered Species
If Trump's border wall is built, it's going to put 93 endangered species in harm's way, from jaguars to ocelots to Mexican gray wolves. That's the key finding of a new study released this week by the Center for Biological Diversity.
Our study also found that 25 of those species have protected "critical habitat" on the border, including more than 2 million acres within just 50 miles of it. Construction of the proposed 1,200-mile-long wall -- plus its infrastructure and related law enforcement -- would cut off wildlife's migration corridors; reduce their genetic diversity; destroy habitat; and add vehicles, noise and lights to vast stretches of formerly wild and beautiful borderlands.
"Trump's border wall is a disaster for people and wildlife alike," said Noah Greenwald, the Center's endangered species director. "It could drive magnificent species to extinction."
