Add your name to end wolf hunts in Wisconsin

216 wolves were killed in Wisconsin. Here's how you can help: Hunters in Wisconsin just killed 216 wolves in less than 60 hours. That's one out of every five gray wolves across Wisconsin lost to needless slaughter in less than three days. And the hunt is scheduled to happen again in just a few months.1 Environmental Action is working to federally protect gray wolves, and -- until federal protections are restored -- we're urging Gov. Tony Evers to do everything that he can to end wolf hunts in Wisconsin. Add your name to our petition asking Governor Evers: End wolf hunts in Wisconsin to protect this majestic species. During this year's wolf hunt, Wisconsin's Department of Natural Resources set a disturbingly high quota for gray wolf deaths -- and hunters overshot that limit by 82 percent.2 Without state protections, Wisconsin's wolf population will continue to suffer devastating losses like these. No wolf should have to die in a recreational wolf hunt. Gray wolves are a majestic species that once roamed freely across the U.S. -- and they're an essential part of our ecosystems. People can and should coexist with the gray wolves. There are non-lethal ways to manage gray wolves that are both more humane and more effective in protecting livestock than killing off this beautiful species. Wisconsin must stop allowing hunters to kill gray wolves. Tell Gov. Evers: No more gray wolf hunts in Wisconsin. The best way to protect gray wolves is to relist the species under the Endangered Species Act. Environmental Action is calling on the Biden administration and Congress to federally protect the species. But we're also working state by state to defend wolves until that happens. As long as wolves are not federally protected, Wisconsin state law requires a wolf hunt like this every year. We need wolf-lovers across the country to convince Gov. Evers to end inhumane wolf hunts in Wisconsin. Will you help us protect gray wolves? Thank you, The Environmental Action team 1. Paul A. Smith, "'Was that something we wanted to have happen?
