An animal catches the scent of bait and tugs at a small device sticking out of the ground. In an instant, it releases a deadly cloud of sodium cyanide.

Often called cyanide bombs, these M-44 devices are indiscriminate killers. These devices can can kill any animal that tugs at their baited trigger, including wolves, bears, other endangered wildlife and even beloved pets.1

More than 38,000 supporters in our network signed our petition calling on the Bureau of Land Management to ban cyanide bombs from the public lands it oversees. Now, we've delivered those petitions to the agency.

Thank you for 38,965 signatures against cyanide bombs

Delivering these petitions is an important step, but our work isn't over.

We'll keep gathering signatures and advocating for laws that protect wildlife from cyanide bombs.

We'll keep educating people across the country about the danger these devices pose to wildlife, pets and people.

And we're campaigning for supporting Canyon's Law -- legislation that would ban these devices on all public lands.

Thank you for standing with us and helping move this campaign forward,

The Environmental Action team

P.S. We're campaigning to ban cyanide from public lands and keep them away from wildlife, pets and people -- but our work takes resources. Will you donate to fuel our campaign and ensure the end of these cruel devices?

Poisoned, shot, crushed: Wolves shouldn't have to live like this

Environmental Action End of Fiscal Year Drive


Poisoned by cyanide bombs. Lured out of their territory and gunned down. Chased and crushed by snowmobiles.

This shouldn't be what life looks like for a wolf.

When left to thrive, life in a wolf pack can be social, adventurous and playful, embarking on group hunts to feed the whole family or experiencing moments of serene stillness on starlit nights.

That's the life we're working to protect.

We've set a goal of raising $30,000 to grow our movement before our fiscal year ends at midnight tonight. 

Sometimes wolves go off on their own, but more often they life in a pack, which functions like a close-knit family. Often working in groups, they patrol, hunt and explore throughout their territory. A highly social species, wolves work together to make sure everyone gets home safe. Back at the den, everyone chips in to watch over the pups, who learn to hunt by playing. Donate to protect wolf packs


Life in a wolf pack should be playful and curious, challenging and supportive. But time and again, we see harrowing stories of wolves whose lives are cut short in unthinkably cruel ways.

And soon, it could get even worse. A bill is moving through Congress that would strip wolves of their Endangered Species Act protections, paving the way for nationwide wolf hunts.

At a time when it's still legal in some places to run over wolves with snowmobiles, catch them in crushing steel traps or lure them with exploding cyanide bombs, we're working to ensure wolves have more protection, not less.

Are you with us? Before midnight on June 30, help us reach even more people who will join our cause to defend wolves by donating today?

Thank you for standing with wolves,

CYANIDE BOMBS WERE STOPPED BEFORE....IT NEEDS TO BE PERMANENT!


Environmental Action


No animal deserves to die this way.

Cyanide bombs are disguised to look like food. But when a wolf, coyote or other wildlife bites into the bait, the trap triggers a burst of poisonous cyanide.

That means a slow and agonizing death for an unsuspecting animal.

Cyanide bombs have been banned on millions of acres of public lands since 2023 -- but news just broke that the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is trying to bring them back.1

Help defend wildlife and wild places from cyanide bombs.

Public lands shouldn't be minefields for wildlife, people and pets.

Cyanide bombs are indiscriminate killers. They end up littered across vast stretches of public lands, creating a deadly trap for any wildlife that are unlucky enough to stumble across them -- even endangered animals.

Thousands upon thousands of animals bear the deadly cost -- but the toll doesn't stop with wildlife.

Too often, these deadly devices are placed near homes and public trails. Pets have been killed, and at least one child was severely injured.2

That's why cyanide bombs have been banned since 2023 on millions of acres of federal lands that are managed by the BLM. But now, a memo shows that the Bureau of Land Management is quietly trying to bring them back.3

Here's what we believe: Public lands shouldn't be minefields for wildlife, people and pets.

Are you with us? Donate today.

We're mobilizing to keep cyanide bombs off of our public lands, and away from wildlife, by:

  • Campaigning for Canyon's Law, legislation in Congress that would ban cyanide bombs on public lands for good.
  • Calling on the BLM to stick to its previous ban on these deadly traps.
  • Shining a spotlight to educate the public about this little-known danger to wildlife.

But campaigns like these take resources, and we can't do this alone.

Will you rush an urgent donation to help keep deadly cyanide bombs off of our public lands?

12 wolves. One snowmobile. No survivors.

Environmental Action Earth Day Drive


Whenever someone asks why Environmental Action exists, we sometimes mention the Dog Creek wolf pack -- which was erased by a hunter in a single afternoon.

The pack was once a thriving, 12-member family in the heart of Wyoming's Grand Tetons. Like all families, all the pack wanted was to hunt together and play together.

But by using a snowmobile as a weapon, a hunter pursued the pack through the deep powder and picked them off, one by one, until every last member was killed.1

It's called "wolf whacking," and it's perfectly legal under Wyoming's current laws.2 It's also just one reason why Environmental Action does what we do.

12 wolves. One snowmobile. No survivors.

Wolf whacking isn't the only way that hunters kill wolves. In many areas of the Northern Rockies, wolves are classified as trophy game or even vermin, which opens the door to methods of killing that defy the standards of humane wildlife management.3

Hunters often shoot wolves from helicopters. This tactic, also called aerial gunning, leaves wolves with no cover and no chance of escape.

Pups are also murdered in their dens. Den raiding eliminates a pack's next generation and threatens the long-term stability of the species.

Steel traps are particularly inhumane. These devices snare a wolf's neck, starving its brain of blood and leaving a wolf in agony before a hunter arrives to finish the job.4

These practices aren't just inhumane. They are a direct threat to the long-term survival of gray wolves. And when entire packs such as the Dog Creek family are erased, it disrupts the ecological balance of our national parks and the surrounding wilderness.5

The Environmental Action team is committed to helping gray wolves survive and thrive. Together, we will keep raising a voice for reinstated federal protections and an end to these extreme methods of "predator control."

Thank you,

The Environmental Action team

Two days of agony with no escape: This is what traps do to wolves

FAR BEYOND JUST WOLVES....IT INCLUDES ALL ENDANGERED SPECIES....

THESE TRAPS ARE INDISCRIMINATE! 

THEY TRAP AND KILL FAMILY PETS AND CHILDREN! 


Environmental Action


This wolf's last days were devastating: With one wrong step, she heard -- then surely felt -- the gut-wrenching clamp of a hunter's trap.

The trap didn't kill her quickly, either. She lay trapped for two days, trying to hang on, eating the grass around her until she eventually withered away.1

Wolves deserve better than this. We're calling on Cabela's and Bass Pro Shops to take wolf traps off their shelves. Join this campaign with a donation today.

Defend Wolves. Donate Today

It's hard to imagine the desperation this wolf felt during her final agonizing days.

Did she think about the pack she was leaving behind? Did she tell her mate to go on without her? Did she have pups who tried but failed to save her?

We can't turn back the clock to rescue her, but we can help prevent more wolves from meeting the same devastating fate.

We're campaigning to get these traps off of Cabela's and Bass Pro Shops' shelves. Are you with us? Fuel our campaign to save wolves from traps today.

Wolf traps are inhumane. They snap paws, ensnare wolves' necks, and cut off blood flow to pups' brains.2

And when wolves get trapped, only two fates await:

  • They endure days of suffering until their helpless bodies give out
  • A hunter's gun silences them forever

With wolf defenders like you, we're working to get the country's largest outdoor retailer to stop selling the traps that claim and kill wolves.

We've already gathered more than 18,000 petition signatures -- now we need the resources to build a movement big enough to get traps off retailers' shelves, once and for all. Let's work to save wolves from deaths like this. Donate today.

Thank you for speaking up for wolves,

Some of the trees of the Tongass have stood for 1,000 years.1 Chainsaws and bulldozers could destroy them over the course of just hours.

The Forest Service has begun revising the overarching management plan for the Tongass National Forest.2 We only have a short window to provide comments and feedback.

If the wolves, bears, salmon and birds of the Tongass could speak up to protect their home, they would -- but they can't. To keep the Tongass forest and the wildlife that thrive there safe, we need to raise our voices on their behalf.

We have until March 20 to make our voices heard. Now's our chance to have a say in the future of some of America's oldest, wildest remaining forests -- so add your name today.

Deadline March 20th. Add your name to help protect the Tongass National Forest. Take Action

The Tongass is a wild, wonderful, deeply interconnected tapestry of life.

The ancient trees' deep roots filter and purify the water that flows through rivers where salmon thrive.3 Mother grizzly bears wade through the shallows, teaching their cubs how to fish.

Overhead, great horned owls swoop on silent wings through the branches. Red squirrels nibble on spruce cones in search of tasty seeds. The forest shelters birds as varied as tall, elegant sandhill cranes and tiny iridescent hummingbirds.4

If logging is allowed into the wildest parts of the Tongass, the wildlife that call it home will suffer. A field of jagged stumps is no home for a grizzly, owl, or wolf.

Take action to help shape the future of the Tongass and keep logging out of this ancient forest.

The plan that the Forest Service is working on right now will form the framework for decision-making about the Tongass for years to come. Once finalized, the plan will be used as a guide to decide how much of the forest stays wild, and what kinds of resources will be allowed to be extracted from it.5

The Forest Service is gathering input from the public as it shapes the new plan -- and we need to ensure that they hear the voices of forest defenders loud and clear.

Now's our chance to tell them: Our oldest trees should be left standing. Add your name today.

Thank you for speaking up for our forests,
