Match ends Monday · Up to $500 doubled New month. One month out. There will be no repeat of 2021. We hope you had a happy, safe Halloween. Keep the candy away from your pets, since chocolate and sugar-free candy can be dangerous to dogs. And wildlife will eat your pumpkins. Deer especially love them. … Continue reading Action Alert: The Fate of Wolves and Cranes are in Your Hands…
Two Democrats wrote the bill. Wisconsin law already wrote the hunt.
The Wisconsin DNR recently released their updated Wolf Management Plan. As wildlife advocates, scientists, and tribal members that have been engaged in the process for years, scrutinizing both the use of scientific evidence in the plan and the plan's update process, we feel the responsibility to publicly denounce that the process has not been "transparent, deliberative, or inclusive” as stated on the DNR’s website.
In the biggest news so far for wolf protection in the United States in 2021, a court in Wisconsin issued an injunction today requiring the Wisconsin DNR to set the quota at zero wolves for the upcoming wolf trophy hunt scheduled to start November 6th. The decision could spare hundreds of wolves targeted for killing.
Today Animal Wellness Action, the Center for a Humane Economy, Friends of the Wisconsin Wolf and Wildlife, and Project Coyote sued the state of Wisconsin over its reckless and politically motivated decision to authorize a quota of 300 wolves for the November wolf hunt, on top of the 218 known killed in a February hunt.
In collaboration with other wildlife advocacy organizations and the Tribes of the Great Lakes, we have filed an amicus brief on behalf of the wolves in Wisconsin to restore the legal protections critical to their survival. We will not let another slaughter like we witnessed in February occur again without a fight.
Your written comments to the Wolf Harvest Committee must be submitted by noon on Friday, June 18th. This committee will decide a quota for the fall hunt to be presented to the Natural Resources Board in August.
Friends, here is your opportunity to not only stop the fall wolf hunt, but to weigh in on the future of wolf management in Wisconsin. This is a critical action, and probably the most important thing you will do in advocating for wolves in 2021. Please use this guide we have put together to help you navigate the survey as you fill it out.
In less than 72 hours, the state of Wisconsin allowed 216 wolves to be legally killed statewide, during the day or night using dogs, snares, traps, guns, night vision technology, and even running them down to exhaustion with snowmobiles. This hunt was detrimental to our wolf population and they cannot withstand another hunt this fall.
We are inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting tonight to discuss Wolf Hunt details, progress we have seen and problems we still face in this fight. Please come with all your questions, feedback on your experience contacting your representatives, how you are practicing self-care during this time, or just to chat. We hope to see you all there!
