Subject: Death Sentence for Idaho Pups

Help Save Wolves

Wolf families raising their pups are being targeted by state officials in Idaho.

Please donate now to ensure a lasting future for America's wolves and other wildlife and support our fight against an anti-wolf extremist agenda.

Dear Wildlife Supporter,

Even as Idaho's wolf families try to raise their newborn pups, state officials are issuing death warrants for these amazing animals.

They're calling on federal wildlife killers -- and now even local law enforcement -- to kill dozens of wolves living in the wilds of Idaho.

Please donate now to save America's wolves and support our fight against an anti-wolf extremist agenda.

It's a biological fact: Wolves feed on elk and other wildlife to survive. But Idaho officials are siding with anti-wolf extremists who want to disturb the natural balance of wilderness to artificially boost elk populations -- right in the middle of denning season.

Targeting wolf families at the height of denning season is a virtual death sentence for newborn pups -- the most vulnerable members of the pack.

Please donate today to help protect wolf pups and other wildlife.

In just over three weeks since federal protections were lifted from wolves in the Northern Rockies, Idaho officials have already called in Wildlife Services -- the federal wildlife-killing program -- to track down wolves with radio collars and shoot them from helicopters.

Now they're authorizing more killing this spring. They're even allowing local sheriffs and their deputies to take out an entire pack of wolves in the central part of the state.

Please support our work to protect the lives of Idaho wolves and ensure a lasting future for these amazing animals.

Your generous support will help Defenders...

Fight extreme, anti-wolf rhetoric with solid scientific principles, public education and the voices of those who want wolves as part our living, natural heritage;
Fight extremist legislation in Congress that threatens the future of wolves in the U.S.;
Help reform Wildlife Services into a program that works to help people and wildlife coexist peacefully, rather than just killing thousands of wolves and other wild animals;
Help keep wolves and livestock out of harm's way with our pioneering, non-lethal coexistence programs; and
Promote other vital efforts to save wolves and other wildlife struggling to survive.

For more than 35 years, Defenders has been a leader in the fight to restore wolves to their rightful place in the American landscape. We're not about to give up the fight just as these magnificent animals struggle to expand to their historic range beyond Greater Yellowstone and the Northern Rockies.

But our wildlife-saving work isn't possible without the generous support of people like you. Will you donate today for our wolves and other wildlife?

For the Wild Ones,

Suzanne Asha Stone
Northern Rockies Representative

This Memorial Day remember those lost in the past year

Dear Anne,

For almost 150 years, Memorial Day has served as a national day of remembrance—a day to reflect on the lives of those lost. For the last 30 of those years, PETA has led the fight to stop animal abuse and save animals' lives.

As you pause this Memorial Day to remember those who have passed away, we'd like to ask you to think also of the animals who were not able to be saved—particularly those who have perished over this past year.

Please consider making a donation in memory of these animals—whether you're thinking of the young seal pups clubbed for their fur, the beagles killed after months of painful experiments, the calves who were taken away from their mothers and slaughtered before their first birthday, or the countless other animals who perished because of abuse, neglect, or human greed. Here are a just few of the others whom we've lost:

Knut	Kalina	Daisy

Knut, the polar bear cub who was the toast of the Berlin Zoo four short years ago, died this year at the young age of 4 after living in constant stress in an enclosure a fraction of the size of his natural home range.	Kalina, the first orca to be born and raised in captivity at SeaWorld, died after spending all 25 years of her life in a barren concrete pool rather than the freedom of the sea.	Daisy was a sweet pit bull who froze to death in the frigid January temperatures when the chain she was attached to prevented her from reaching any shelter.
Animal #28765	Rue McClanahan	Create Your Own

Each year, millions of cats, dogs, primates, mice, rats, rabbits, and other animals suffer and die in painful animal tests.	Rue was one of PETA's first champions for animals in Hollywood, joining PETA only a few short years after our founding and helping to establish us as a leader in the fight for animal rights.	Create your own True Friends Memorial page to share the memory of your loved one.

Thank you for your remembrance of all animals this Memorial Day.

Sincerely,

Your Friends at PETA
True Friends Memorial
