Poisoned, shot, crushed: Wolves shouldn't have to live like this

Image
           SHARED FOR INFORMATION AND EDUCATION ABOUT TARGETING               WILDLIFE... Poisoned by cyanide bombs. Lured out of their territory and gunned down. Chased and crushed by snowmobiles. This shouldn't be what life looks like for a wolf. When left to thrive, life in a wolf pack can be social, adventurous and playful, embarking on group hunts to feed the whole family or experiencing moments of serene stillness on starlit nights. That's the life we're working to protect. We've set a goal of raising $30,000 to grow our movement before our fiscal year ends at midnight tonight.  Life in a wolf pack should be playful and curious, challenging and supportive. But time and again, we see harrowing stories of wolves whose lives are cut short in unthinkably cruel ways. And soon, it could get even worse. A bill is moving through Congress that would strip wolves of their Endangered Species Act protections , pa...

Morning Digest: Colorado's top court scuttles Democratic plan to draw new map for 2028 The ruling leaves limited options for a redraw to counter GOP gerrymandering David Nir and Jeff Singer Jun 30 The Colorado Supreme Court ruled that a congressional map proposed by a Democratic-backed group will not appear on the ballot this fall. Leading Off CO Redistricting The Colorado Supreme Court on Monday rejected a Democratic-backed plan to ask voters whether they want to adopt a new congressional map, ruling that the proposal violated the state Constitution’s prohibition on ballot initiatives that address more than a single subject.
