Jill–
I just wanted to make sure you saw my urgent message. A multi-year competitive killing derby has just been proposed by a "hunters' rights" group in Idaho. 
If approved, this will be the second wolf-killing competition held in Idaho - and no predator will be safe!

A competitive killing derby is not hunting; it’s mass killing for fun based upon hatred and fear.

Dear Jill,
A “hunters’ rights” organization has formally requested a federal permit to hold a multi-year predator-killing derby in Idaho -- on national public lands!
If approved, this will be the second competitive wolf-killing competition held in Idaho - and no predator will be safe!
As if the competitive targeting of wolves was not bad enough, this proposed derby would sweep all predators in Idaho into its gun sights, rewarding the killing of coyotes, skunks and even weasels.  
Last year’s wolf and coyote-killing derby included prizes for killing the most coyotes and killing the largest wolf. This is not hunting; this is simply mass-killing for fun based upon hatred and fear.
Defenders is adamantly opposed to this sort of competitive killing derby and the dangerous and unethical precedent that it sets. Please stand with us and call on the BLM to immediately deny this outrageous request!
If you think it can’t get worse, consider this: The proposed event would take place every winter for five years when wolves and other wildlife are most vulnerable out foraging for food in the snow and extreme cold.
This proposal sets us back to the barbaric 19th century approach to predators when their value to the environment was not understood. These are exactly the kinds of extermination era tactics that drove wolves to the brink in the first place! This is not modern wildlife management, and it has no place in civil society.
Thank you for taking immediate action.
Sincerely,
Jamie Rappaport Clark, Defenders of Wildlife

P.S. I can assure you, Defenders will use every legal tool in its arsenal to ensure that this travesty does not take place.
