An excerpt from an Email;
Just days ago, Idaho state officials proposed to slash the price tag for killing a wolf in Idaho to only $9.75.
This comes on the heels of a formally released federal proposal to lift wolf protections in Idaho and Wyoming -- two states that plan to exterminate as many wolves as possible within their borders.
But we have a plan to stop them.
Its up to us to stop the wholesale slaughter of wolves in Idaho. Please support Defenders work to save our Northern Rockies wolves.
To jumpstart its wolf massacre, Idaho officials are proposing to offer a small price to entice the states hunters to participate in their plan to slaughter wolves. If gray wolves lose federal protection in Idaho, the price for a wolfs life could be just $9.75.
And Idahos wolves will find no friend in Governor Butch Otter. In fact, Governor Otter is eager to kill these magnificent creatures himself. He recently addressed an anti-wolf rally, saying:
Im prepared to bid for that first ticket to shoot a wolf myself.
Listen to the governors chilling remarks
In neighboring Wyoming, things are just as bad. As many as 2 out of every 3 wolves in the state could be killed, with unlimited killing in some wilderness areas.
Were in for one of the toughest fights in years -- and we need your help to save our wolves.
Defenders is working hard to prevent the single biggest setback in wolf conservation in decades:
* Were working with a broad coalition of nearly 30 conservation groups on the ground, speaking out for wolves and against Idaho and Wyomings wolf eradication plans.
* Were calling on federal officials to hold additional public hearings and to extend by 30 days the period for public comments on this important issue so your voice can be heard.
* Were analyzing the federal wolf delisting plan and crafting a detailed response.
* Were working with ranchers and landowners in wolf country to find common sense solutions for wolves and people.
Already, over 50,000 people like you have written to Secretary of the Interior Dirk Kempthorne to express outrage over the ill-conceived federal plan. And were preparing a massive mobilization around the official comment period on the delisting of Northern Rockies gray wolves.
To spread the word, well be launching a sophisticated public education campaign and ambitious efforts to activate conservationists in the Northern Rockies. We will also call on you to help generate 200,000 public comments against this irresponsible proposal -- one of our most ambitious goals yet.
But we cant do any of this important work without the help of people just like you who care about our wolves. Please support our work with your tax-deductible online gift.
Defenders was a leader in the successful effort to reintroduce wolves to Yellowstone and central Idaho. But even these iconic animals are now threatened by Idaho and Wyoming's reckless plans. Under the states' proposals, these wolves could be shot on sight if they wander outside protected havens like Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks.
It will take a monumental effort to protect our Northern Rockies wolves. But with your help, we can save these animals for future generations.
Thank you for all you do to protect our wildlife and wild places.

but it interferes with their sport of hunting deer, because the wolves need to eat that, so unless there are too many deer its too hard for humans to hunt.
Thats why its being protested so much.
its very unfortunate
