Devastating news from Yellowstone: Just days ago, after wandering outside park boundaries in Montana, a female wolf named Spitfire was gunned down by a trophy hunter.
If Trump and Congress get their way, this will be the future for wolves across the lower 48. It's sick and wrong, and it has to be stopped.
Please join our ongoing fight to save wolves by making a gift to our Endangered Species Act Protection Fund. Your emergency gift today will be matched by a generous wildlife advocate.
Spitfire was the matriarch of her pack, and her killing leaves the family deeply vulnerable right when survival is toughest. Her daughter, a wolf named Little T for a small distinguishing patch of white fur, and five young pups will have to fight to stay alive in the coming weeks.
Every year thousands of people travel to Yellowstone in the hope of glimpsing a wolf in the wild. Inside the park people pose no threat to these magnificent animals.
But situated just outside park lines, trophy hunters are waiting for more wolves from the Lamar pack to wander into their crosshairs. These wolves have no way of knowing that the moment they cross park boundaries they may be met by a bullet from a trophy hunter's gun.
This harrowing fate is just what Trump and the far right envision for America's wolves. Right now Congress is attempting to ram through a bill stripping protection from nearly every wolf in the lower 48 states. Trump's own delisting attempt is expected to come down any day.
The Center's not sitting around waiting — we've already filed suit against Trump and Zinke to protect our beloved wolves. This is a fight we can win — but we need you with us.
The attacks from Trump and Congress will make it legal to shoot them almost anywhere in America, just as they struggle back from the brink of extinction.
But our lawsuit addresses that. A national recovery plan isn't just the best way to continue wolves' recovery across the lower 48 — it's also the only way to keep wolf packs safe from trophy hunters and restore wolves to the places they belong.
Together we can put an end to generations of wolf families being shattered.
Support our fierce defense of wolves with a matched gift today to our Endangered Species Act Protection Fund.

PETA Asia has obtained disturbing eyewitness video footage captured
inside a Cambodian slaughterhouse showing workers repeatedly bashing cows in the
head with sledgehammers before finally cutting their throats while they're still
conscious.
Their skin is then cut off to be made into leather.
Their skin is then cut off to be made into leather.
The Cambodian meat industry slaughtered roughly 55,300 cows last year
alone. The skins of these sensitive animals are one of the country's top
exports, supplying the international leather industry.
Leather is a
direct contributor to the horrors of factory farming and the slaughter of
millions of animals each year. If you buy or wear leather, it could be coming from a place like this.
Please, pledge to go leather-free and share this eyewitness investigation with your friends and family so that they can do the same. Choose instead from the many fashionable nonleather shoes, jackets, belts, bags, and wallets that are readily available. Whether they come from cows, crocodiles, snakes, or dogs, animal-derived materials are products of extreme pain and suffering.
