DOW: Some in Congress are attempting to use a must-pass spending bill to eliminate protections for wolves and other wildlife. If they are successful, life-saving protections for wolves will be eliminated, the Endangered Species Act will be compromised and vital funding to protect our wildlife and environment will be slashed.
What you can do: my dear friends, please feel free to use my written letter below and to send it to the listed parties and any others you deem appropriate.
Also, remember to sign the above petition if you haven’t done so yet.

SAMPLE LETTER
To Whom It Concerns,
Like millions of others around the globe, I firmly believe that all wildlife is a world heritage, to be respected and protected by all nations.
With the legislation that has just been introduced in both the House and Senate, attempting to prematurely remove the protection of wolves as an endangered species, these beautiful animals will be left at the mercy of states that have the intention of exterminating hundreds of them. This is a devastating move that would allow for the uncontrollable killing of wolves across the West, leading to a slaughter which will destroy the positive results of any previous successful attempt to re-introduce the wolves to Yellowstone and the Northern Rockies.
I am deeply concerned about the potential treatment of gray wolves under state law, as well as the well-being of other struggling wildlife now protected under the Endangered Species Act, should the wolves be delisted. We cannot allow any endangered species to be managed through political calculation. Scientific studies have continuously shown that wolves are a truly important and vital part of wildlife, since as predators, they greatly contribute to maintaining the balance in an extremely fragile eco structure.
I hereby urge you to oppose any legislative proposals to strip wolves of their endangered species protections and to preserve the Endangered Species Act. PLEASE PROTECT THE GRAY WOLF and honor the integrity of the Endangered Species Act!
Regards,

I would like to sign the petition – or another to the same purpose. As I do not live in the USA I cannot sign this one. 😦 Any links to an alternative petition open to non-US residents, please?

Hi, Suzy ~
Please send the letter via email; that is available to anyone as long as you have a valid email host that doesn’t prohibit mailings to certain locations. I see the one you commented with, copy/paste the addresses above as well as the letter and send your comments that way.
Let me know if I can explain further.
Thank you so much.

That I have already done! 🙂 But doing one shouldn’t have to exclude doing the other.
I just can’t help believing a worldwide petition would have even more impact than a strictly US one.

To all who still support the idea of the big bad wolf, I would recommend to read Never Cry Wolf, by Farley Mowat… A great book that describes the life of wolves and how intelligent they are… according to some scientists they have the intelligence of a five-year old kid. So they do deserve their right of a better future!
There are a lot of other books that could help us realize how wonderful and amazing animals are. And I would recommend to young readers to read more of the modern fairy-tales (like Harry Potter, Enchanted Forest, Lassy, my Tale Of The Rock Pieces, etc). There animals are not just full of hatred, hunger and strivings to kill, they are loving parents, honest and noble friends, or funny companions. Such books could help kids and their parents realize the beauty and importance of nature and all its components!

Humans are too many, much more of Wolves: following their criminal “logic”, we should exterminate humans?
Humans kill for sport, for fun: once again, we should exterminate humans?
In my fantasy world, hunters are extincted.
All done, thank you very much Stacey
