Ashley Judd has teamed up with the Defenders of Wildlife to advocate the protection of wolves again.
Previously, Judd took part in the campaign Eye on Palin, which targeted former Alaskan governor Sarah Palin for aerial wolf killing. Now she is urging the President to reinstate the Endangered Species Act protection for wolves located in Idaho and Montana.
Ashley Judd is urging the President to restore the law that is allowing hundreds of wolves to be hunted and killed in the Rockies. This law was removed last March by the U.S Interior Secretary Ken Salazar when he approved the plan to delist gray wolves.
Defenders of Wildlife is encouraging for more people to join Judd in her efforts by sending a message to our law makers.

I implore you to do research on the devastation wolves are causing all across the North Western United States.
They invade private property of those of us who live far off the National Forest Boundaries and kill our livestock, pets and livelihoods. At the rate they've reproduced in the last 15 years they've exceeded the original intent of reintroduction by tenfold throughout the NW. They are decimating the elk population in the mountains and driving elk by the thousands to the lowlands in Idaho, exposing them to extreme hunting pressures. I do not hunt but I do have livestock that are part of my livelihood and many of us never graze our animals on public lands. Defenders of Wildlife act as if only livestock on public lands are being killed, they claim they pay actual value for livestock killed, neither of these claims are true. Please don't be duped by this organization who doesn't care about innocent working peoples livelihoods and promote false media claims in the desire to propagate a wolf existence coast to coast.
There has got to be a way to control their numbers as they've proven to multiply out of control with no predators. Look up the Wikipedia facts of how many humans have been killed in the history of mankind to see that they do and will pose a threat of us and our children if left unchecked.
Sincerely,
LeAnn
