SAY "NO" TO HR 8998
The U.S. House of Representatives has passed H.R. 8998, mainly which includes provisions that are harmful to the environment and wildlife, particularly by removing federal protections for gray wolves across the lower 48 states. The bill passed narrowly with a 210 to 205 vote, primarily along party lines, despite opposition from over 80 environmental groups. This removal of crucial protections under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) could have devastating effects on gray wolf populations leading to widespread killings, as seen in states where these protections were previously lifted. The lack of ESA protections has also allowed individuals like Cody Roberts, who murdered a young wolf in cold blood, to escape consequences. Now, more than ever, wolves need your support.
Please take action today by calling, writing, and urging your state senators to vote no on this bill. Gray wolves are depending on us to protect them! We will not let them down.
