The tragic tale of a WY wolf killed by a snowmobile has sparked a new bipartisan bill in Congress. The Snowmobiles Aren’t Weapons Act aims to ban using snowmobiles and similar vehicles to chase wildlife on federal lands nationwide.

We will have an exhibit booth at Twin Cities VegFest 2024, the biggest (free) plant-based festival in the Midwest! The festival will return to Harriet Island Park on Sunday, September 22, 2024. Want to volunteer with us? Sign up here: bit.ly/HFWVegFest2024 .

Facts are facts. #IYKYK

The U.S. House has now passed two bills that ignore science and would legislatively strip wolves of federal protections across the country. Actions like this not only put wolves at risk but weaken the ESA. Tell the Senate to stand for wolves: bit.ly/3YnSqnS

Minnesota's wolves are struggling due to poaching, vehicle collisions, & conflict. Further population reductions through public hunts are not only unnecessary but also harmful, increasing illegal killings and threatening long-term viability through inbreeding and unstable packs.

A study in @‌nature exposed that between 2004 & 2019, average annual wolf mortality increased from 21.7% before hunting seasons to 43.4% during AND AFTER hunting seasons including a more than TRIPLING of human caused wolf mortality.

Did you know that today is International Wolf Day? There’s no time like the present to take action for wolves at HowlingForWolves.Org/Take-Action . Want to do more? Please consider supporting our efforts through a donation and help us make a difference! 🐺❤️

Things we know: ✅Wolves are critical to maintaing our ecosystems. ✅Lethal methods of wolf “management“ are ineffective. ✅The time to ban wolf hunting is now! Image courtesy of @‌wolf_hollow_ma and @‌hellorainyday

As the oldest surviving wolf lineage in the lower 48 states, Minnesota wolves cannot exist on a genetic island. Help #KeepThePacksIntact by taking action today at HowlingForWolves.Org. Wolves cannot afford for us to go backward!

Wolves may not be allowed to be hunted in Minnesota currently, but that does not mean that they are safe indefinitely. When wolves were last delisted in MN, hundreds of wolves were killed. Join us in our effort to #BanWolfHunting FOR GOOD at HowlingForWolves.Org today!

Howling For Wolves follows the work of our state and federal wildlife agencies and political activity to ensure proper stewardship of wolves and to fight to #BanWolfHunting in Minnesota and across the country. Please consider supporting our work today at HowlingForWolves.Org/donate

.Colorado Parks and Wildlife initiated the removal of the Copper Creek wolf pack due to pressure for livestock producers over depredations. The department claimed in a statement that the decision was not setting a precedent, conservationists disagreed. Read more: bit.ly/3MJM6A5

There’s less than ONE MONTH until Twin Cities Veg Fest on September 22! It's a day of plant-based food and fun, with a little something for everyone. Mark your calendars to come support us or sign up to be a volunteer here: bit.ly/HFWVegFest2024

Research has found that while Gray Wolf population numbers may not indicate an immediate extinction threat, human impact like hunting has led to lower genetic diversity putting wolves at long term risk of extinction. bit.ly/longtermw

An article in WyoFile explored the act of using snowmobiles to run down wildlife in WY. Despite initially taking action to correct the state's unethical practices, @‌GovernorGordon discouraged broad action focusing only on cases of animal cruelty. bit.ly/WYMOB

Wolf hunting has been proven to be ineffective at “managing” wolves. It’s time to #BanWolfHunting and prioritize a #NonlethalFirst coexistence strategy to living with wolves.

Dr. Maureen Hackett denounces wolf hunting in the @‌StarTribune, citing its harm to wolves and ecosystems while debunking hunting justifications, and emphasizing wolves' cultural significance to Native American tribes. bit.ly/48OH1yS

Wolf hunting has been proven to be an ineffective wolf “management” tool often causing pack instability. This, in turn, can actually lead to higher levels of wolf-livestock conflicts. #KeepThePacksIntact.

For years, Big Game Forever, a Utah nonprofit, received substantial taxpayer funds from Utah to push for the removal of the gray wolf from the Endangered Species Act, even though Utah has no significant wolf population. bit.ly/3B6klyK
