Cody Roberts, who ran down, tortured, and killed a wolf in Wyoming, was sentenced to just 18 months probation and a fine. No jail time.

This is not justice. This case exposed major gaps in wildlife protection. We will keep pushing for real accountability.

New year, urgent fight. The House has passed legislation to delist wolves, and the Senate vote is next. Stripping protections would undo decades of recovery and put wolves back in danger. Wolves can’t vote but we can. This year matters.

Wolves, long feared and reviled, may actually be lifesavers A new line of research has revealed a surprising finding about how the presence of wolves helps keep people safe.

Wolves do more than shape ecosystems. Research shows their presence changes deer behavior and can cut deer vehicle collisions by about 24%, saving lives and millions in damages. As protections are debated, wolves are proving to be a public safety benefit too. www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...

“Like many other animals, they are emotionally intelligent beings. A wolf knows who he is, and he sees his packmates as individuals. He has a concept of how his actions are perceived by others. He is capable of empathy, compassion, apology, and encouragement.”

🚨 ACT NOW 🚨

Next week, the House will vote on a bill to strip gray wolves of Endangered Species Act protections. If passed, it could allow expanded trophy hunting and push wolves closer to extinction.

Tell your Representative to vote NO on H.R. 845.

In Colorado, Wolves Are Getting Closer To The Denver Metro Area Colorado’s reintroduced wolves have been closing in on the Denver Metro area, but officials don’t expect trouble — as long as people don’t feed them.

Wolves reintroduced to Colorado are now showing up closer to the Denver–Boulder area, but officials say it’s mostly young lone wolves exploring, not new suburban packs. CPW urges people not to feed or lure wildlife as wolves continue to roam statewide. cowboystatedaily.com/2025/12/04/i...

The Center for Biological Diversity has issued a 60 day notice of intent to sue the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for failing to create a national gray wolf recovery plan. A countrywide, science-driven recovery plan is critical if we want wolves to survive and thrive long term.

Video shows a wild wolf stealing fish in possible first use of a tool The wolf “appears to demonstrate a sophisticated understanding of the multistep connection between the floating buoy and the bait within the out-of-sight trap,” scientists said.

Scientists on BC’s coast caught a wolf pulling a rope to get fish from crab traps set by the Heiltsuk Nation to control invasive green crabs. This may be the first wild wolf to show multi-step “string pulling” behavior, highlighting their intelligence & adaptability: www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...

These endangered predators have finally returned. Should California be killing them? California wildlife officials have tried bean bag guns, loud music and drones. Now they’re resorting to killing an endangered species.

California wildlife officials spent $1.4M trying to scare wolves away from cattle in Sierra Valley using drones, loud music, and other tactics. When attacks continued, they killed four wolves — a major shift from the state’s non-lethal policy. www.sfchronicle.com/california/a...

Colorado wants wolves from Washington state for its next round of reintroductions The move comes after the Trump administration told Colorado it couldn’t return to Canada for additional carnivores.

Colorado hopes to bring in more wolves this winter—this time from Washington. Federal rules blocked imports from Canada, so the state is turning to U.S. sources to grow its pack.

Political whiplash is terrible for wolves’ future. But more is coming After a judge lamented the “political yo-yo” process embroiling wolf management in the Northern Rockies, no one appears to know how to deescalate the debate.

Northern Rockies gray wolves are at risk from political flip-flopping. A federal judge ordered the USFWS to revisit its decision to delist them, citing ignored scientific evidence. Aggressive hunting in MT, ID, and WY threatens decades of conservation.
