"To date, more than 1,700 wolves have been senselessly slaughtered by sport hunters and trappers - over 1,100 killed during the 2012-13 season alone."
- Sierra Club,"America Without Gray Wolves?"
Just one of the horrid methods of thinning the already attenuate population, is by gassing out wolf dens so the pups come up for air. When they do, they are at the mercy of the hunter/trappers. Often times, the adult wolves are killed leaving the pups to starve.
The impact of these indiscriminate, and far-reaching murders pose a detrimental threat to the ecosystems across the US, and even to humans.
I implore you to imagine yourself in their position, and to return these wolves, and the countless other species that were removed, to the safety of the endangered species list.
