The Necropsies Don’t Lie. This Is Truly, Genuinely Urgent.
We’ve been telling you delisting could bring another wolf hunt to Wisconsin within months. This is what that actually looks like. Not a policy abstraction — this.
Gruesome necropsy findings — irrefutable evidence of animal cruelty, including gut-shot wolves suffering for hours, intestines dragging, and desecrated carcasses being dumped on porches.
86% of wolves were killed by hound packs — running without limits, without mandatory GPS tracking, without landowner consent, and completely unsupervised by licensed handlers.
200–300 complaints in just three days, including reports of armed standoffs on private property and children being chased by hounds at bus stops.
— from GLWA’s white paper on the Feb. 2021 hunt, backed by 23 sworn affidavits and necropsy evidence
This isn’t rhetoric. This is what the necropsies showed. Wisconsin’s mandatory hunt law triggers automatically the moment gray wolves lose federal protection — no vote, no new legislation, just the same broken rules that produced this in 2021. And we could be as little as six months away from finding out again.
This is truly, genuinely urgent.
Thank you to everyone who has given so far. We see you, and we would not be standing without you.
We know money is tight right now. It’s tight for us too — we are 100% volunteer, and every one of us is feeling the same hard times you are. But we’re asking anyway, because the wolves don’t get to wait for a better economy, and neither do we. If you can dig deep, even a little, please do it now. We have to start preparing before this hunt opens, not after.
We are a tiny organization. No paid staff, no corporate money, no war chest. But we win — we’ve beaten this before, and we intend to beat it again. We will do everything in our power to stop this, because what happened to those wolves in 2021 was disgusting, and we are not going to let it happen quietly a second time.

If you’ve never donated before, now is the time. We need you. We need to support the pack — not the PAC.
