Why do we need to #BanCyanideBombs on our 193,000,000 acres of public forests? Because they're indiscriminate killers of countless wild animals & dogs. They killed a man & almost a child. They can never be used safely. How to help: conta.cc/4fcxHIH #BanM44s

In a petition led by @PredatorDefense + @CenterForBioDiv, 60+ conservation groups (incl the WCC) called on @forestservice to ban M-44 cyanide bombs on all 193M acres of public forest lands. In 2023, M-44s were banned on @BLMNational lands. M-44s are cruel + indiscriminate.

Excellent article shows why we need to ban M-44 'cyanide bombs' on America's forest lands. They are indiscriminate and can never be used safely. To help, see conta.cc/4fcxHIH #BanM44s #BanCyanideBombs @forestservice @USDA missoulacurrent.com/cyanide-… @missoulacurrent

Dear @POTUS & @USFWS, Intact, fully functioning wolf families are essential to the health of ecosystems & all species. Please don't return to Trump-era persecution, slaughter & extermination. Protect all wolves under the ESA! #WolvesAreEssential relistwolves.org/takeaction

"The only thing that has stood between Idaho’s wolf population & total eradication is the threat that the federal government would step in to stop it. The threat will evaporate if the Biden administration and the U.S. House get their way." #RelistWolves mtexpress.com/opinion/editor…

No one has done more to bring the plight of #whales & other marine animals to public attention than Paul Watson. He has paid dearly for his decades of activism & needs our help to prevent being extradited to Japan. Sign the petition at paulwatsonfoundation.org/fre… #FreePaulWatson

A % reminder of the far-too-hidden truth about wolves and cows. There is NO justification for killing wolves for the sake of livestock interests. Coexistence is essential and beneficial. Nonlethal deterrence methods abound. H/T: @nywolforg #RelistWolves #EndangeredSpeciesAct

As WY officials deal with the aftermath of the torture + killing of the young female wolf, mainly by staying silent or offering weak statements denouncing the crime (we see you @wygameandfish), the public is left wondering - what's next?

Wait! What does the headline below say?! Don’t be confused. Trump did NOT protect "predators" like wolves & coyotes. That's why they can be run down with snowmobiles in 85% of Wyoming & tortured to death. This must change. #BoycottWyoming #RelistWolves yellowstonian.org/president-…

Wyoming claims to value wildlife, says protection is of utmost importance. Yet they allow torture & killing of wolves & other vital predators. Let's #BoycottWyoming until they ban animal cruelty & reform wildlife policies. @visitwyoming @GovernorGordon tinyurl.com/mtud77mh

Wolves are listed as an endangered species in all the lower 48 states except Wyoming, Idaho and Montana. USFWS gave those states the authority to manage wolves. They have failed miserably. Wolves should be relisted, and grizzly bears should stay listed: ow.ly/nxSB50RjtvV
