Congress is coming after these animals

 

Anti-wildlife members of Congress have laid siege to America’s wildlife and their homes. They need our help! Pitch in today to power our efforts to keep them safe! Here are just a few of the animals being targeted by legislation coming out of Congress: Gray wolves could be stripped of federal protections across most of the U.S., leaving them to the mercy of anti-wolf states… Endangered right whales could enter an irreversible death spiral as Congress blocks any new protections against deadly fishing gear entanglements… Funding to save imperiled populations of wolverines, bats, sage-grouse, grizzly bears and more is being blocked as members of Congress directly target species for extinction…. OCTOBER 1 DEADLINE: LEND YOUR SUPPORT! All this suffering and destruction – and who profits? Wealthy oil barons and developers, eager to carve up our landscapes to line their own packets while the animals we love disappear one by one. We won’t let them succeed. Join our defense of animals under siege by the Trump administration and its anti-wildlife allies in Congress – against enemies like these, imperiled animals need us more than ever! Break the siege against America’s most vulnerable animals. Pitch in before the deadline to power our ongoing efforts to protect our wildlife! In these times, we’re grateful we can count on an ally like you.
