Alaska doesn't deserve the money until it changes its law that requires the slaughter of bears, wolves and other carnivores.

The second petition urges #USFWS to implement specific "management measures" for remaining wolf populations across the lower 48 states more broadly.

We strongly oppose these petitions and call on the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service (#USFWS) to deny these requests and uphold #protections for #wolves under the #EndangeredSpeciesAct in these areas and its surrounding regions.

Massive numbers of endangered #wolves in #Sweden are facing brutal death by high-powered rifles after an ill-advised government directive authorized the largest #slaughter in recent history.
