Take Action: Help Protect Wolves For Future Generations

In 2012, one in four Minnesota wolves was knowingly killed by hunting, trapping, and depredation measures. Minnesota law was supposed to protect wolves for five years from a recreational hunting season after wolves were removed from the Endangered Species list. 

A recreational hunt does not serve the citizens of Minnesota and we need to take action to protect our wolves for future generations. We must motivate our lawmakers to act now to reinstate the five-year wait on wolf hunting and end the brutal practices of baiting, trapping, and snaring. 

Need some inspiration? Listen to gray wolves howling (audio clip will open in new window).
