Urgent: Protest Bush's Plan to Kill Yellowstone Area Wolves
While most Americans have been celebrating the holidays, officials in the Bush/Cheney Administration have been working behind the scenes to pave the way for the *killing of hundreds of wolves in the Greater Yellowstone area. *
Don't let them get away with it! Urge U.S. Interior Secretary Dirk Kempthorne to abandon his efforts to allow states to start killing wolves and stop promoting the premature de-listing of gray wolves in the Northern Rockies.

Over the last several weeks, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has been quietly moving forward with rule changes that would allow officials in Idaho and Wyoming to begin killing wolves even before gray wolves are removed from the list of federally protected threatened and endangered species.
*This latest proposal would jump start plans to use fixed-wing aircraft, helicopters and other means to kill hundreds of wolves in Idaho, leaving just over 200 wolves in the state.* In fact, three-quarters of the wolves in the Lolo District of the Clearwater National Forest could be removed ... even before they are de-listed.
And hundreds of wolves in Wyoming could be shot and trapped under the new rules, whether wolves are removed from the endangered and threatened species list or not.
A decision on this devastating proposal is expected in the next few weeks. *Take a stand now.*
Please email Secretary Kempthorne right now and let him know that you oppose any proposal that would threaten the long-term future of wolves in the Northern Rockies and Greater Yellowstone Region.
