With your heartfelt, informed comment, we have a chance to halt these quota hikes, demand a reduction in incidental trapping, and ensure wolves remain a thriving part of Wyoming’s heritage.

Recognizing predators’ intelligence and agency requires shifting from inhumane, ineffective trapping toward coexistence strategies grounded in science and compassion.

Celebrate the beaver’s comeback—and help us fight for a humane Wyoming for beavers and ALL wildlife through trapping reform. Because when beavers thrive, trumpeter swans soar, and the whole Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem sings.

Happy World Otter Day! Today, we celebrate Wyoming’s river otter—even though illegal to trap, they’re still ensnared in beaver traps. We stand for mandatory bycatch reporting and humane laws to ensure every creature thrives free from needless harm.

Year-round trapping of badgers threatens not just them but the delicate web of life they support.

Wyoming Game and Fish is proposing to raise 2025 harvest limits mountain lions—and is seeking public comments through June 10 before finalizing quotas at the July Commission meeting. Staying informed and involved lets Wyoming residents ensure wildlife management reflects their values.

Wyoming’s “set-and-forget” traps don’t just catch foxes—they ensnare our beloved eagles and other wildlife. For a HUMANE WYOMING, we need real trapping reform, one that recognizes ALL wildlife with respect and care.

We believe the “Non-Lethal First” alternative must be the cornerstone of any management plan, and Wyoming Untrapped has formally submitted public comments on Docket APHIS-2025-0004 to ensure this critical perspective is heard. Bears belong in the wild, not in traps or under the barrel of a gun.

A rare wolverine sighting near Grand Teton highlights the urgent need for greater protections. With just ~300 left in the Lower 48 and threats like trapping still legal under certain loopholes, these elusive creatures need our voice. Let’s keep Wyoming wild!

Montana’s grizzlies deserve better than steel traps. The USDA is rethinking how it manages bears—now’s your chance to say no to cruel, outdated methods and yes to proven non-lethal tools. #NonLethalFirst #ProtectMontanaWildlife #FootlooseMontana
