“On April 9th, Congressional Democrats and Republicans agreed to override sound science and public policy and remove Endangered Species Act protection for wolves for purely political reasons. This is the first time in the law’s 37-year history that politicians have intervened to subvert the law’s intent.
The effect on wolves will become obvious soon as the already struggling population succumbs to cruel traps and bullets. The effect on the Endangered Species Act itself — replacing science with politics in regulatory decision-making — will render this shining achievement of animal protection law virtually toothless when it comes to protecting animals in the face of the interests of politically powerful commercial lobbies.
Tell your Senators and Representative that science, not politics, should determine if wolves are removed from the Endangered Species list.

Thank you for speaking out to protect the Endangered Species Act and wolves!”
