Decades of data confirm what we’ve long known—killing wolves doesn’t protect livestock. It’s outdated, unscientific & makes conflicts worse. It's time to follow the science & use real solutions.

For the 3rd year in a row, Rep. Biggs (R-AZ) tried to gut the Endangered Species Act—this time by exempting the military and its contractors. His reckless amendment failed 200–228.

Most Americans support the ESA. Now it’s time to STRENGTHEN it.

Caught on camera: two endangered Mexican Gray Wolves at play. One rolls on the ground like a pup while the other watches—proof that wolves are social, curious, and full of personality.

Protect them before it’s too late. Act now at TeamWolf.Org

A federal judge ruled USFWS ignored science in refusing to relist Northern Rocky wolves—calling its process a “political yo-yo.” As wolves are hunted to bare legal limits, Congress moves to strip protections entirely. Read: bit.ly/46Y7pY6

One story of a dog being mistaken for a wolf & killed is one too many. Over the years, there have been several. One story of a wolf being killed for a sport is one too many. In the last few years, there have been THOUSANDS. Raise your voice for wolves: TeamWolf.Org!

Montana wolf hunters inch closer to filling quotas just outside of Yellowstone

The two hunting units are just north of Yellowstone, where hunting is banned.

@dec.ny.gov @governor.ny.gov Although killing contests were banned in 2023 (for which we are very appreciative), indiscriminate killing in NY is still alive an well.

Hunter mentality is bizarre when you celebrate with hanging murdered coyotes off the back of your truck.

Another Yellowstone wolf deliberately targeted and killed by a Montana hunter just outside park boundaries: cowboystatedaily.com/2025/09/23/f...

Just cruel and sad. Wolves have to be re-listed in the Northern Rockies. These states are simply not capable of managing their wildlife.

Fans are mourning the loss of another popular Yellowstone wolf, 1479F, a young female that was killed legally by a hunter in Montana last week. She also…

The "sporting" club doesn't tell where these hunts are taking place.

If you live in New York State, let your State Senator & Assembly Member know your opinion on killing coyotes & other animals, day & night, with no bag limits for 7 continuous months. We need to use our collective voice against these atrocities.

@governor.ny.gov There is a Facebook group that takes a tremendous amount of joy in killing coyotes. These are not New York values.

MT’s wolf hunt has already claimed a Yellowstone wolf: 1479F, the last pup of 907F. She was vital to her pack’s survival—her loss shows how unsafe wolves are once they leave the park.
