About this Event
The world was shocked and disgusted when Cody Roberts of Daniel, Wyoming intentionally ran over a young female wolf pup with a snowmobile, duct-taped her mouth shut, dragged her into a bar to show her off, and then took her out back and killed her.
He was only fined $250 because predators are not protected from animal cruelty. This young wolf was in unimaginable pain, and this kind of heinous torture and killing has no place in our world.
Let’s change that. It's time for a movement, a #cryforthewild

We are joining forces with several wildlife protection organizations to ensure that no other wolf—or any cherished predator—suffers such a fate. But we need your help, and we need it now.
Your tax-deductible contribution will make an immediate impact in the following critical areas:
Legislation: Support efforts to secure stronger protections for wolves and other wildlife. This includes pushing for stricter penalties for those who harm these animals and advocating for policies that promote their conservation.
Legal Action: Right now, several partnering organizations have filed suit to obtain Endangered Species Act protections for wolves. Your donation will help us continue this vital legal battle.
Public Awareness: Contributions will fund urgent public awareness and advertising campaigns to educate people about the importance of wolves and other predators in our ecosystems.
Time is of the essence. We must act now to protect these magnificent creatures from further harm. Please donate today to help us make a difference.
