Stop the Italian wolf slaughter
| ||||
Dear friends, After nearly 50 years of protection, endangered Italian wolves might be slaughtered soon. Despite a lack of recent scientific population estimates, the Italian Minister of Environmental Affairs is determined to kill off 5% of the endangered wolf population. His first effort to authorize a wolf cull was defeated by public pressure. Let's do it again - add your name to our petition to protect wolves right now! The only reason the Italian government wants to kill endangered wolves is because farmers and ranchers blame them for killing their animals. Outrageously, there are no efforts to humanely protect livestock with electric fences or trained dogs รข€“ even though fences and dogs have proven effective elsewhere in Europe. Even worse, when pressed, farmers admit that feral dogs are far more lethal to their livestock than wolves. But wolves get the blame. The Italian Minister of Environmental Affairs will be attempting to pass his wolf cull again at the end of this month, so we need a loud, unified voice to save them now. Please take a moment right now to speak up for wolves, and against this unscientific slaughter. Thank you for taking action,
