Last Chance To Stop Taxpayer-Funded WildLife Killers
Center for Biological Diversity
July 12, 2016
3.2 million animals died last year at the hands of the government killing crew called
"Wildlife Services"
Across the country these animal executioners have snuffed out wildlife, including 385 gray wolves, 68,905 coyotes, 480 black bears, 264 mountain lions, 731 bobcats, 492 river otters,
3,437 foxes and 21,559 beavers.
The Center for Biological Diversity has been leading the charge to stop Wildlife Services, which often does it's extermination at the behest of the agricultural industry and other powerful interests.
It's methods are horrific -- gunning down wolves from helicopters, trapping bobcats in neck snares and poisoning mountain lions with cyanide-shooting land mines.
We have a powerful strategy for taking Wildlife Services down by ending it's lucrative contracts with local, county and state governments that keep it in business.
We just ended it's contract with Mendocino County, California, and a few weeks ago we filed suit in Idaho where Gov. Butch Otter has funneled hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars to Wildlife Services to liquidate wolves.
There's no scientific basis for continuing to shoot, poison and strangle millions of animals every year - cruel acts that fail to manage conflicts with wildlife and pose ongoing threats to other animals, including pets.

ASK PRESIDENT OBAMA TO STOP THE GOVERNMENT KILLING MACHINE (Wildlife Services)
Send an e-mail to President Obama, in your own words, asking him to stop the killing of millions of innocent animals at the behest of Republican governors and hunters.
(Here is a copy of the e-mail I sent to President Obama just now)
"Dear Mr. President,
According to the Center for Biological Diversity, 3.2 million animals died last year at the hands of USDA"s "Wildlife Services".
These animal executioners have snuffed out wildlife including 385 gray wolves, 68,908 coyotes, 480 black bears ,264 mountain lions,731 bobcats, 492 river otters, 3,437 foxes and 21,559 beavers.
Wildlife Services' methods are truly horrific, including.gunning down wolves from helicopters, trapping bobcats in neck snares and poisoning mountain lions with cyanide-shooting land mines.
There is no scientific basis for continuing to shoot, poison and strangle millions of animals each year - cruel acts that fail to manage conflicts with wildlife and pose ongoing threats to other animals, including pets.
These actions by Wildlife Services are at the behest of elk hunters and Republican governors like Butch Otter of Idaho.
You have the power to stop this horrific animal extermination, and you don't need Congressional approval to do so.
All it would take would be one phone call from you to Secretary of Agriculture, Tom Vilsack, to end the slaughter of millions of animals each year who live in National Parks, National Forests, and federal Wilderness Areas.
If you did decide to make that phone call, it would be appreciated by millions of animal lovers across America and would also add to your legacy as you wind down your final term as President of the United States."
