New letter from the "Wolf Lovers"

LAST EDITED ON Mar-12-15 AT 08:26AM (MST)[p]I got this email yesterday:

Dear ,

Unbelievable. Just six months after NRDC won a lawsuit restoring federal protections to wolves in Wyoming, these majestic animals are once again caught in the crosshairs.

Members of the new, anti-wildlife Congress have just introduced legislation to cut Endangered Species Act protections for wolves across Wyoming and the Great Lakes.

Tell your lawmakers to oppose any legislation removing endangered species protections from wolves!

Thanks in part to the bedrock protections afforded to America's most vulnerable wildlife under the Endangered Species Act, the return of wolves to the Northern Rockies and the Great Lakes is one of the greatest conservation success stories of our time.

But now, members of Congress are undermining the very existence of the Endangered Species Act itself!

Make no mistake: If we let Congress strip protections from these wolves, we will open the floodgates to an endless series of proposals to remove endangered species protections from other threatened wildlife.

I'm sure you agree: Endangered Species Act protections should be decided based on science and law, not politics.

I can't stand by while lawmakers in Washington decide the fate of America's most iconic wildlife -- and I'm guessing you can't, either.

Tell your members of Congress: Keep politics out of wolf recovery!

Thanks for adding your voice,
Rhea

"Members of the new, anti-wildlife Congress have just introduced legislation to cut Endangered Species Act protections for wolves across Wyoming and the Great Lakes."

I hadn't heard about that. Has anyone else? I want to know how to voice my support.

It's written in the good Book that we'll never be asked to take more than we can. Sounds like a good plan, so bring it on!
