Since 2021, more than 1,400 gray wolves have been killed in Idaho.

These wolves are pursued year-round. Pups are killed in their dens. Young wolves are shot from helicopters. Once-protected animals are left in steel-jawed traps.

That’s why we’re raising our voices and calling on Idaho Governor Brad Little to stop this slaughter. Add your name and help us end this cruelty today.

In Idaho, wolves have been found with crushed limbs and shattered teeth from traps. Others have been run down by snowmachines or ATVs. Even new mothers can be shot down without a care.

Even worse, these aren’t rare cases. This is exactly what Idaho’s current rules encourage.

One report described how three pups were killed last April, all likely less than a month old, probably yet to even open their eyes.

These hunts would never be allowed for deer, elk, mountain lions or any other game species. That’s because they have protections that Idaho simply doesn’t give to its wolves.

On private land, trapping can occur nearly year-round. Hunters are allowed to pursue wolves using vehicles, and there’s no meaningful limit on how many wolves a single person can kill in a season.

All these rules would be unimaginable in other states and with other species.

That’s why we’re raising our voices and calling for an end to this slaughter. Add your name and urge Gov. Gordon to stop Wyoming’s wolf hunts.

Wolves exist in a complex and interconnected pack.

They raise pups together, teach younger animals how to navigate the landscape and depend on family groups to make it through Idaho’s harsh winters.

When adult members are killed, entire packs can collapse.

Right now, Idaho treats wolves differently from every other large animal in the state. There are no real safeguards, no limits that protect mothers and their young pups, and seemingly no expectation of ethical pursuit or treatment.

It’s a system that’s built for indiscriminately killing wolves, not managing important wildlife.

But it doesn't have to stay that way. Add your name today and urge Gov. Little to stop Idaho’s wolf hunts.

Thank you for standing with wolves,
