📣ATTENTION NEW YORKERS: Hunting "season" for coyotes begins Oct.1--March 29. Make sure your property is clearly posted against trespassers. Report violations immediately to local law enforcement & the NY State DEC: 1-888-DEC-ECOS. (Trespassing on private land not posted is illegal, too).

One month into MT's wolf hunting season and 22 wolves are already dead. The state raised the kill quota to 452, axed regional limits, and greenlit Wildlife Services to kill nearly 100 more.

Call it what it is: extermination.

Over 2 million wolves once roamed North America. Today, just 6,000 remain in the lower 48—and thousands are still killed every year.

Now, endangered species protections are under threat, more than ever!

Decades of data confirm what we’ve long known—killing wolves doesn’t protect livestock. It’s outdated, unscientific & makes conflicts worse. It's time to follow the science & use real solutions.

For the 3rd year in a row, Rep. Biggs (R-AZ) tried to gut the Endangered Species Act—this time by exempting the military and its contractors. His reckless amendment failed 200–228.

Most Americans support the ESA. Now it’s time to STRENGTHEN it.

Caught on camera: two endangered Mexican Gray Wolves at play. One rolls on the ground like a pup while the other watches—proof that wolves are social, curious, and full of personality.

A federal judge ruled USFWS ignored science in refusing to relist Northern Rocky wolves—calling its process a “political yo-yo.” As wolves are hunted to bare legal limits, Congress moves to strip protections entirely. Read: bit.ly/46Y7pY6

One story of a dog being mistaken for a wolf & killed is one too many. Over the years, there have been several. One story of a wolf being killed for a sport is one too many. In the last few years, there have been THOUSANDS. Raise your voice for wolves: TeamWolf.Org!

@dec.ny.gov @governor.ny.gov Although killing contests were banned in 2023 (for which we are very appreciative), indiscriminate killing in NY is still alive an well.

Another Yellowstone wolf deliberately targeted and killed by a Montana hunter just outside park boundaries: cowboystatedaily.com/2025/09/23/f...

Just cruel and sad. Wolves have to be re-listed in the Northern Rockies. These states are simply not capable of managing their wildlife.

If you live in New York State, let your State Senator & Assembly Member know your opinion on killing coyotes & other animals, day & night, with no bag limits for 7 continuous months. We need to use our collective voice against these atrocities.
