URGENT: Tell Secretary Salazar to keep wolves on the Endangered Species List and protect them from slaughter which will commense on May 4th.

Please add your name to the list and ask your friends to tell ten friends to do the same. We need one million messages to be sent to Secretary Ken Salazar of the Interior telling him to put wolves back on the ESA.

I am extremely upset that you are carrying out the Bush Administration's plan to take gray wolves off the endangered species list, leaving them vulnerable to mass killing. In so doing, you have abandoned President Obama's pledge to follow a science-based approach to environmental protection.
According to a letter signed by some 230 scientists, a severe reduction in current wolf numbers would dramatically increase the threat of extinction for a gray wolf population that is still recovering. If you hand wolf management back to the states, more than 600 wolves could be caught in the crossfire.
Wolves once thrived in much of the lower 48 states. Today, they reside in only five percent of their former range. If there is one place in this country where they should be allowed to flourish, it is in and around Yellowstone, Glacier National Park, and the remote Selway Bitterroot ecosystem in central Idaho.
I urge you to withdraw this Bush-era plan and submit it to rigorous scientific review. The wolves of the Northern Rockies are world-renowned as living icons of the American West. Please call off the guns and develop a sound wolf recovery plan that ensures a healthy future for these magnificent creatures.

My added comment: I was very unhappy President Obama chose you as his Secretary of the Interior because I had been reading over the years that you are not particularly wildlife friendly. This first real test you have proved me right.
