Overzealous hunters killed almost a fifth of the wolf population in 72 hours

Hunters don’t have the information or restraint not to kill way too many animals. It’s unclear whether Wisconsin hunters knew they’d passed the limit and killed more wolves anyway, or if they just didn’t realize in time to stop their overzealous hunting. But either way, just naming a limit and assuming a bunch of individual hunters will collectively stick to it is clearly not working! The state allowed this to happen, even though they were warned for years. Now 15% of the Wisconsin population of wolves is dead and gone. We cannot let this go on another year! Demand that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service immediately reinstates the ban on killing wolves before it’s too late!

Thank you,

P.S. Conservationists worked hard to stabilize the gray wolf population in Wisconsin, but then hunters undid their hard work in a matter of days. Sign the petition to reinstate federal protections for gray wolves!
