Kill Bill, Not Wolves
Last week the Utah Senate passed legislation that would require that wolves migrating into Utah be killed or relocated.
The bill now goes to the state House of Representatives and, if approved there, would require the approval of Governor Gary Herbert.
Our friends at WildEarth Guardians have set up a web site where you can email Governor Herbert.
Tell Governor Herbert to kill the bill, not Utah’s wolves. Send your email letter today.
Utah Environmental Congress recognizes that wolves are important for healthy ecosystems. Wolves are native to Utah and we want them back.
Utah is a critical link between the wolves that already exist in the Yellowstone region and other areas that still need wolves – like Colorado and the Southern Rockies. Recently wolves have been reported near Grand Junction, Colorado. If those reports are confirmed, wolves may migrate to Utah by traveling west along the Book Cliffs. We may hear wolves howl in the Book Cliffs and Uinta Mountains sooner than we think, if they aren’t shot first!
Don’t let Utah become a deathtrap for wolves.
Speak out today for Utah’s wolves — send a letter to Governor Herbert by February 16th.
Thanks for being a voice for wolves. If we don’t speak up for them, who will?

PUHLEEAAASSSE! The wolves are NOT a threat at this time or ever have been. Spend your time and our tax payer dollars on something that REALLY matters!!!
There are far more pressing issues to be delt with at this time$$$.
This is a bill that is over due and needs passing. I am tired of Utah being so nice on everything that we get abused.

ask the folks in Salmon, Idaho how the reintroduction of wolves has worked in the forest there and if it has had major negative impact on them even in town with the wolves killing their domestic dogs.
It has been a disaster to wildlife numbers especially elk and also domestic cattle, sheep and dogs on the ranches.
