In the last week of February, hunters in Wisconsin killed over 200 wolves in less than three days.
Using packs of dogs, snares, and leg-hold traps, hunters blew past the state’s limit of 119 wolf kills, prompting the state to cut short its one-week wolf hunting season.
Wildlife officials authorized the massacre after the Trump administration removed federal protections for gray wolves in January. Pro-hunting lawmakers in multiple Midwestern states are rushing to hold wolf hunts before President Biden can reverse the Trump administration’s actions.
The slaughter in Wisconsin is an awful example of why wolves need the protection of the Endangered Species Act, our nation’s strongest conservation law. Earthjustice immediately challenged the Trump administration’s decision to strip these protections from wolves, and we will continue to fight for wolves’ survival in court.
Hunting could quickly reverse the wolf population’s fragile gains.
The Wisconsin hunt was hastily organized and ill-considered.
Wisconsin’s actions demonstrate why gray wolf recovery cannot be left up to individual states until wolves have truly recovered
Earthjustice is fighting in court to give wolves the protections they need to survive.
