Action Alert:
After conservation groups filed petitions to relist gray wolves under the ESA this summer, the US Fish & Wildlife Service declined to give emergency protections but announced a 12-month status review of the delisting—meaning that, for a year, wolves will continue to lack protections.

GivingTuesday, Action Alerts, Plan for 2022
Hello wolf advocates,
So many wolf lawsuits, so little time to keep track of them.
In response to federal delisting and new anti-wolf laws in several states, this year we’ve seen a dizzying flurry of lawsuits and petitions at state and federal levels to relist wolves under the Endangered Species Act and block or restrict state wolf hunts.
On Friday, a federal judge will hear opening oral arguments in a set of three lawsuits against the US government’s ESA delisting in a California court. Check out this great summary of where these and other ongoing lawsuits and actions to protect wolves currently stand.

Press Conference & Watch 2021 Conference Sessions on YouTube!
Hello wolf advocates,
Thank you to all who attended last month’s 8th annual conference, and a huge thanks to all of the excellent speakers! If you missed it or want to re-watch a session, the recordings are now available on our YouTube channel.
We continue to closely watch the status of this year’s wolf hunts and state kill orders. Wisconsin approved a kill limit of 300 wolves in the state against their own biologists’ recommendations, but now face a lawsuit over the hunt.
Oregon issued another kill permit for the Lookout Mt pack, of whom they horrendously killed two pups last month, and Washington issued a kill order for up to two wolves of the Togo Pack. Wolf advocates must call attention to the ongoing state-sponsored wolf slaughter in Oregon and Washington!
Join us on Tuesday, Sept. 14th, 10am PDT for a press conference & virtual rally to demand the halt of state-sponsored wolf slaughter in Washington and Oregon.
Speak for Wolves, the Northwest Animal Rights Network (NARN), Predator Defense, and the Animal Rights Coalition- PDX are teaming up to host a Virtual Rally and Press Conference in response to the recent state of wolf management and the media’s silence on it.

Speaker Announcements
Sristi Kamal is from India and grew up in a biodiversity hotspot with elephants, rhinos, leopards and tigers which sparked a childhood and lifelong passion for wildlife. She currently works for Defenders of Wildlife in their NW office of the Field Conservation Program. In her current role, she works to protect imperiled and native species in Oregon and their habitats, including wolves.
Sristi will talk about Oregon’s Wolves: Conflict and Coexistence—an update on the status of wolves in Oregon, Oregon’s wolf management policy and current instances of conflict and where we go from here.
John Murtaugh of Defenders of Wildlifebrings a lifetime of passion for wolf recovery to the Rockies and Plains as he works to restore wolves to the region. By working with stakeholders across the spectrum, he works to create a strong coalition of support, ensuring that wolves and people can coexist in the west.
John will update us on Colorado’s Gray Wolf Reintroduction. In 2020, Colorado voters directed the Colorado Parks and Wildlife agency to begin a wolf reintroduction by the end of 2023. Now, the state has set forth a plan and has begun a process of advisement from key stakeholders, technical experts, and the public.

About the Issues
Wolves once roamed freely across much of the land that is now called North America. Indigenous peoples actively managed the land responsibly, including lands that many in the conservation movement call “wilderness”. Starting in the 1500s through 1800s, European settlers, spreading across the continent, stole the land and its resources, committed genocide of indigenous peoples, and began exploiting wildlife to the point of extermination.
By the 1940s, wolves were extirpated from the landscape, thanks to government-sponsored bounty programs.
In 1974, the gray wolf (Canis lupus) was listed on the federal Endangered Species Act. Wolves slowly began to disperse back into the northern reaches of the US from Canada, and in the 1990s, wolves were reintroduced to Yellowstone and Idaho.
As wolves returned to states where they had once lived, state wildlife agencies developed wolf management plans under their own state Endangered Species Acts, working in tandem with the US Fish and Wildlife Service, which managed federal protections.
While wolf populations have slowly recovered in the 30 years since reintroduction, they still only occupy less than 10% of their historic range in the US. As wolf populations began to grow and conflicts arose with hunters and ranchers unhappy with this keystone predator returning to “their” land, states began removing wolves from local ESA protections and allowing wolf hunts. In 2020, the Trump administration removed the gray wolf from federal protection.
As of February 10, 2022 a U.S. District Court Judge reinstated federal protections that were removed under the Trump administration. Though this is a big win for science based decision making, wolves in Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, and parts of eastern Washington and Oregon were exempt from this reinstatement and are still in need of federal protections.
Those of us who are settlers must recognize how our long history of settler colonialism, white supremacy, and racist policies were driving forces that led us to where we are now: trying desperately to reverse the destruction of wildlife and the environment before it’s too late, as wildfires rage, climate change threatens our near future, and our culture wars divide us into those who want to save keystone species vs. those who want to keep ranching cows on public lands for our dinner plates.
To dig deeper, check out our recommended films and readings.
Reforming Wildlife Management
Re-envision state fish & wildlife departments
In Western States, Governors currently appoint fish and wildlife commissioners. These commissioners have authority over agency policy including predator management. Until we transition to a process that prioritizes appointing commissioners that are scientifically qualified, absent of private interests like hunting, trapping and agri- business, we will continue to see commissioners that abuse power and privilege to leverage their personal agenda. Fish & Wildlife Departments need to reflect the diversity of interests of the broad public and rectify the historic prioritization of special interest groups that put profit over wildlife.
Read an overview of what’s currently considered “wildlife management” in the US here.
Watch a great video presentation about Fish & Wildlife Commission Reform here.
Reduce grazing on federal public lands
Grazing is ecologically damaging to land in the arid West. Non-native livestock are responsible for soil compaction, destruction of wetlands and riparian zones. With 60% of land in the world dedicated to livestock grazing we see a decrease in water retention and aquifer recharge, soil erosion that leads to flooding, and a net-loss of biodiversity. Livestock grazing contributes to the spread of harmful invasive plant species and the degradation of native symbiotic relationships.
These destructive grazing practices are heavily subsidized by taxpayers every year to the tune of tens of millions of dollars. The work to mitigate, reduce, and eventually eradicate grazing on public lands needs to be prioritized for the benefit of wolf- livestock coexistence and the return of the flourishing west.
Read more about the ecological costs of grazing here.
Wildlife Services: Killing Funded by Your Tax Dollars
Every year the USDA Wildlife Service kills millions of animals, including wolves, coyotes, black bears, mountain lions, bobcats, beavers, birds, and countless other species, including house pets. Wildlife Services uses neck snares and foot hold traps, toxic cyanide (M44’s) and aerial gunning (helicopters) to slaughter native wildlife across the country. This agency historically and primarily serves the interests of the agriculture and livestock industry.
Gray wolf recovery has been slow due to the US federal governments prematurely abandoned recovery efforts in order to appease powerful livestock and sportsmen interests. Currently, state fish and game agencies have authority over gray wolf “management”. State-sanctioned hunting, trapping/snaring, and hounding seasons have resulted in thousands of wolves being killed. Massive killing increases in Wisconsin, Idaho, and Montana, due to Trump Era Endangered Species delisting and the 2021 introduction of new legislation, threaten to decimate any progress that has been made for wolf recovery thus far.
For a primer about Wildlife Services, read the 2015 HSUS report, “Wildlife Disservice: The USDA Wildlife Services’ Inefficient and Inhumane Wildlife Damage Management Program”
2022 update on Wildlife Services’ activities in 2021: “‘A barbaric federal program’: US killed 1.75m animals last year – or 200 per hour” (The Guardian)
Ban trapping and snaring on federal public lands
Leg-hold traps, conibear traps, and neck snares are indiscriminate killers that have no place on federal public lands. Reported incidents of domestic pet and endangered, non-target species being trapped, snared, and/or killed on public lands in states like Idaho and Montana have made trapping and snaring a public safety issue that spans beyond wildlife activism. The variety in trap check time laws from 72 hours to weeks at a time, spotlight the cruel and disturbing nature that is snaring. Trapping and Snaring is not sport, it is inhumane slaughter.
Wildlife advocates should urge their elected leaders to ban leg-hold traps, conibear traps, and neck snares by introducing legislation that would protect not only wildlife, but domestic pets and those that recreate on public lands.
Read more about the problems with trapping here.
End wildlife derbies and the hunting of carnivores
The best available science suggests that carnivores, including gray wolves, are self-regulating species. Carnivores don’t need to be managed, they have evolved with their prey over thousands of years, with species populations constantly fluctuating.
The livestock industry and sportsmen groups have continually held wildlife derby contests “for population control and management”. The trapping, snaring, hounding, and trophy-hunting of carnivores runs counter to public sentiment and ethics. We will continue to work and support efforts to eradicate these wildlife derbies and sport hunting contests, but there is more work to be done.

Reprehensible Wolf Killings & Speaker Announcements
This week, the Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife shot two 3.5 month old Lookout Mountain pack wolf pups from a helicopter in response to private profit loss from livestock depredations.
This horrific killing of two innocent young pups is reprehensible. We encourage you to e-mail or call the ODFW offices to politely voice your disgust over this action to: odfw.commission@odfw.oregon.gov or (503) 947-6000.
While there has been much discouraging wolf news of late in Oregon, Montana, Idaho, and Wisconsin, there are also bright spots in the story of wolf recovery, such as reintroduction in Colorado and new packs establishing in California.
Don’t miss out on the latest science & policy updates, advocate tools, and activist tactics in the fight to save wolves!

2021 Speaker Announcements
Michael Waasegiizhig Price is the Traditional Ecological Knowledge Specialist at the Great Lakes Indian Fish and Wildlife Commission headquartered in Odanah, WI. He is Anishinaabe and an enrolled member of Wikwemikong First Nations in Canada.
Michael will tell the story of the historical journey and the relationship between the wolf and the Anishinaabe people of the Great Lakes region. As Anishinaabe cultural teachings tell us: “Whatever happens to the wolf will happen to Anishinaabe, and whatever happens to Anishinaabe will happen to the wolf.”
Panel: Using Direct Action as A Tactic for Saving Wildlife
What do we do when we’ve exhausted all legal tactics of stopping wildlife killing, but the killing continues?
This panel will feature seasoned direct action activists who have utilized non-violent direct action as a tactic to interfere with harassment or targeted killing of wildlife. Topics include using your own body as a form of protest to stop killing or to bring attention to the issue and participating in ongoing efforts to sabotage planned wildlife hunts.
Airick has been a wildlife advocate for over 36 years. He is a former Hunt Saboteur of 30 years.
Steph is a direct action activist with a long history of locking their body to things and dangling off stadiums, high-rise buildings, and 150 foot doug firs to call attention to state sponsored wolf slaughter, habitat destruction, and climate change.

2021 Speaker Announcements
Quinn Read is the Oregon Policy Director for the Center for Biological Diversity. She works to protect and restore Oregon’s imperiled species and landscapes. She is a member of Oregon’s Environmental Justice Task Force and served on Governor Kate Brown’s Environmental Equity Committee.
In her talk on Fish & Wildlife Commission Reform, Quinn will take a close look at how state commissions shape fish and wildlife conservation policy, and how the enduring stain of colonialism and white supremacy that prioritizes the “legacy” of sport hunting, trapping and fishing continues to permeate decision making.
Corrine Nugent-Hayes, a longtime Speak for Wolves attendee and supporter, will open the conference with a reading of her poem, “When Shall These Mournings For Us End“. In mourning the death of another Yellowstone Wolf, 1155Mb Corrine had to wait until O’ Great Creator began sending through her these Honorable & Humbled Words. Aho.
“Remembering my teachings as a young Native girl proved important while watching the Eco-system’s full cycle of all Humanity. Mankind, Animal Kind were created to show the world how true oneness must work together. A lesson I continued as I raised my own Wolves while having respect for all kind. Afforded many gifts from Our Creator, I learned I had such passion for life in a whole I began to love Art & Creative writing.”
