A mere 5,000 to 6,000 wolves occupy only about 5 percent of the animals’ historic range. Establishing wolf populations in remaining habitat in the Northeast, southern Rocky Mountains, Southwest, Pacific Northwest and elsewhere would secure a future for wolves and allow wolves to play their valuable ecological role in more of their former range. Many of the organizations want an end to wolf persecution and the linking of isolated wolf populations to combat inbreeding and allow ecosystem rejuvenation on a broader scale. Few animals evoke the wild like wolves. Majestic, rangy and highly social, wolves play a crucial role in driving evolution and helping calibrate nature’s complex relationships.

OUR WOLVES ARE IN JEOPARDY AGAIN, WHY?????

.

Once — before bounties, a federal extermination or should I say slaughter program and expansive human settlement our wolves roamed freely throughout most of the United States. Some scientists estimate there could have been some 2 million of these beautiful animals living wild in North America.

By the 1960s,  wolves were finally protected under a precursor to the Endangered Species Act of 1973. They had been slaughtered from all of the contiguous United States except a portion of Minnesota and Isle Royale National Park — victims of  needless Trophy Hunters, Big Game Hunters and on the part of the cattle ranchers, which seem to be unable to coexist.

The Endangered Species Act of 1973 (ESA) was signed on December 28, 1973, and provides for the conservation of species that are endangered or threatened throughout all or a significant portion of their range, and the conservation of the ecosystems on which they depend. Which include all wildlife, marine life, whales, dolphins, forests and more.  The US Fish and Wildlife Services and/ or NOAA Fishers Service are to ensure that nothing jeopardizes the existence of any listed species. This law also prohibits any action that causes "taking"of any listed species. The government agency US Fish and Wildlife Services were put into place to save and protect.  Gray Wolves, Red Wolves, Mexican Gray Wolf, wolves were put on the Endangered Species List.
Now our government official US Fish and Wildlife Services have put a kill order on our wolves. In February of 2013 the decision to delist wolves by the official government agency has brought all of the Wildlife Protection Groups to file suit against them to restore their Federal Protection. This decision has brought in Trophy Hunters, Trappers, Cattle Ranchers and more, slaughtering hundreds of our wolves.

The Endangered Species Act is one of the most powerful conservation laws, but if any species is not allowed to recovery it is useless. All wolves, from the Gray Wolf, Red Wolf, Mexican Gray and others need to be listed not delisted.  These government agencies were created and appointed to PROTECT AND SAVE. Trophy Hunters, Big Game Hunters, Trappers, want that wall mount, showing their achievement in what," KILLING A DEFENSELESS ANIMAL" Residing on a Southwest reservation, we coexisted with all predators to our cattle, sheep, knowing they continue to serve and maintain HEALTHY Ecosystems.

We need to take Action the goal is to get 50,000 signatures.  I know we can, we do make a difference, our voices are heard in all government  agencies.  Our voice will be heard by Sally Jewell, Secretary of Interior step in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
