    Debra, a new window of opportunity just opened to save wolves from impending

    slaughter — but we only have 3 weeks left before that window slams shut.

    Please speak out now.

    Dear Debra,

    We’ve got one last chance to stop the impending massacre of wolves in the northern Rockies.

    The Bush Administration has just opened a new public comment period and is inviting you to submit your opinion on its wolf-killing plan today.

    Please register your opposition immediately — even if you spoke out on behalf of wolves this summer.

    The Bush Administration’s “License to Kill” plan would allow Wyoming and Idaho to gun down nearly 600 wolves — while they’re still on the endangered species list.

    Why the rush to kill wolves? So that hunters can have the ease of finding elk in the same places and in the same numbers that they’ve grown used to. Wolves are being blamed for those few cases where elk herds have shrunk, even though these declines were caused by drought, shrinking habitat and human hunters — not just wolves.

    Put simply, wolves will be exterminated like vermin for doing what they are supposed to do: maintain a healthy ecosystem by preying on elk.

    Wyoming wants to “control” and kill as many wolves as the federal government will allow. And the state is prepared to spend a scandalous amount of taxpayer money — more than $2 million a year — to get the deed done.

    Your Official Citizen Comment is absolutely critical to blocking the coming slaughter.

    This summer we generated 100,000 messages of opposition to this cold-blooded plan. In the next 3 weeks, we need to generate another 100,000 messages to stop the killing before it starts, which could be as early as this winter.

    Wyoming and Idaho are both planning to use aerial gunning — as well as baiting and trapping — to exterminate wolves. Taken together, their plans could drive northern Rocky Mountain gray wolves back to the brink of extinction.

    You’re the last, best hope for hundreds of wolves. Right now, they may be surrounded and outnumbered, but with thousands of Americans like you rallying to their aid, we can give them a fighting chance and stave off a government-sponsored massacre.

    Please submit your Official Citizen Comment today and help us block the Bush Administration’s “Open Fire” order before it is issued this winter.

    Sincerely,

    Frances Beinecke

    President
