Do wolves still need Congress?
Congress’s approval is 10%, while ESA support still tops 75% nationwide. H.R. 845 & 9171 would strip Gray Wolves’ protections & block court review, a threat Dr. Kareiva explores in his latest substack, Peter & the Wolves: bit.ly/4jUvojh

This #WolfAwarenessWeek, urge Congress to defend the ESA. Trump’s order puts Gray and Mexican Wolf protections at more risk, but the House already passed a Gray Wolf delisting bill, while a Mexican Wolf bill awaits a floor vote. Send a letter to your reps: teamwolf.org/take-action

“Nothing but respect,” Blaise Ballantyne wrote beside the Yellowstone wolf he killed. WMU 313 closed Sept. 25. The photo posted Oct 18. Killed there after closure? Reported? @MontanaFWP must answer. If Yellowstone’s wolves aren’t safe, no wolves are safe: TeamWolf.org/take-action

This Wolf Awareness Week, let’s separate wolf facts from wolf myths. Gray Wolves didn’t wipe out Montana’s elk, and Yellowstone’s reintroduced wolves weren’t “superwolves.” The real story is more complicated, less nefarious, and more important. 🐺 (1/3)

Killing more wolves has not meant fewer livestock losses. In Idaho, hunters and trappers killed 65% more wolves in 2022 than in 2015, while documented livestock losses were 64% higher. Nonlethal tools deserve more attention. (2/3)

Wolf Awareness Week is only beginning—but Trump’s Sept. 4 order is already halfway through its 90-day countdown toward a decision that could weaken protections for Gray Wolves and Mexican wolves. Tell Congress: Recovery is not a finish line—defend the ESA: TeamWolf.Org/take-action

USDA is pushing 13 governors to strip gray and Mexican wolves from state lists—and keep killing wolves “where appropriate.” Its 34% loss figure is a worst-case model, not a national average. Only 38% of surveyed ranchers reported confirmed depredation. (1/2)

Trump’s order gives Interior until Dec. 3 to decide whether gray and Mexican wolves lose federal protection. The House passed a bill stripping gray wolves’ protection nationwide and is considering the same for Mexican wolves. Tell Congress: teamwolf.org/take-action (2/2)

28 wolves dead in Montana and Wyoming in a month. One month. Wyoming: 17/22 killed—77% of the "quota" gone in its trophy-game zone; 4 areas closed. Montana: 11 dead; WMU313 hit its 1-wolf limit. Trump wants to take this nationwide. Fight back at teamwolf.org/take-action!

Yesterday the Ninth Circuit heard 3 cases that could decide Gray & Mexican Wolves' future. One could end Gray Wolf protection; another case claims ~300 Mexican Wolves as "nonessential." Feds lost twice already & keep coming back. Act now to protect wolves: teamwolf.org/take-action

🚨 BREAKING: USDA told states with wolves to revisit protections—not science—and send @USDA MORE requests to kill wolves before Burgum decides whether Gray and Mexican Wolves keep ESA protection.

Trump’s Sept. 4 order could strip Gray and Mexican Wolves of federal protection, while directing Congress to advance delisting bills, and pressures states to drop their protections. Gray Wolves are in grave danger. Tell Congress: keep wolves protected: teamwolf.org/take-action

USDA Wildlife Services killed 9 Wisconsin wolves, likely from one pack, after DNR cited safety threats. This highlights the power the WI DNR has to kill wolves when they decide need to. So what's the point of a wolf hunt? There isn't one.

The four best rank 1st, 5th, 6th and 8th nationally on animal protection law. The four worst rank 30th, 35th, 38th and 48th.

Montana, Wyoming & Idaho show what wolves face: hunters’ bloodlust, including calls to “Shoot, Shovel, and Shut Up” (SSS)—a slogan for poaching. Trump’s EO could make state-backed killing the norm nationwide. Tell Burgum: Keep wolves protected. TeamWolf.org/take-action
