Please take a moment to let the B.C. government if you are against the RENEWAL of it's cruel and misguided wolf-kill program. https://wolfawareness.good.do/BCwolfkill

Please join us in saying "NO!" to the government of British Columbia as they quietly take steps to renew the provincial wolf-kill program for another five years. https://wolfawareness.good.do/BCwolfkill
What began in 2015 as a “short-term experiment” to aid caribou recovery in British Columbia has become a decade-long program that has resulted in more than 2,500 wolves being shot from helicopters. Meanwhile, caribou habitat continues to be degraded and fragmented by industrial development. Now, as the permits for last winter’s wolf killings have expired, the province is quietly moving to renew the taxpayer-funded program for another five years.

BREAKING: Animal Justice, WeHowl, & Wolf Awareness Inc have sent joint submissions to the Canadian government & to the Alberta government over potentially unlawful use of Compound 1080 to kill coyotes, calling for an investigation & enforcement action.

From 2010–2021, more than 16,000 poison tablets were deployed in Alberta, while only 83 carcasses were recovered—highlighting failures in record-keeping & oversight & the overall danger of Compound 1080 use.

This cruel poison causes a slow, agonizing death for animals & is devastating to the environment.

British Columbia's wolf kill program should NOT be renewed. Wolf kill programs hurt wolves and ecosystems.

Our new co-authored blog with The Fur-Bearers takes a closer look at the “wolf lured dog” narrative, why language matters, what science tells us, and how responsible actions like keeping dogs leashed help prevent conflict. Compassionate coexistence starts with facts, not fear.

Good article in the Narwhal that shows Ontario government is ignoring the science on endangered species including threatened eastern wolves. WeHowl draws a comparison with BC's government ignoring scientific recommendations for caribou recovery over many decades - coming up with multiple task forces and recovery plans that never came into effect.

Public engagement is needed.

From TheNarwhal.ca: Ontario’s plans to recover struggling wolf, butterfly and bat populations will not be released to the public, The Narwhal has learned. Last April, the Doug Ford government announced it planned to amend and then ultimately replace the Endangered Species Act, slashing the require...

Please take a moment to help advance protection for Canada's threatened Eastern wolves and their wild kin. We still have an opportunity - and responsibility - to preserve these magnificent animals and the predator-prey systems they are part of. Engage through Wolf Awareness Inc to help achieve this important ecological goal.

Fewer than 1000 eastern wolves remain in the world, all of them in Ontario & Quebec. Join me in asking Ontario to immediately protect wolves from hunting & trapping across the Proposed Recovery Zone.

Important update on what is happening to wolves in Switzerland, provided by Peter A. Dettling / LUFS wolf project:
As a wolf field researcher, nature photographer and author who has intensively documented populations in Graubünden since their return, my latest in-depth analysis paints a different picture. In short: the current approach is too expensive, too destructive, and ineffective.
Key Findings:
Severely Weakened Population: In 2024 alone, Graubünden lost approximately 50% of its recorded wolf population.
Statistical Paradox: The wolf is responsible for less than 2% of sheep losses—yet millions are being funneled into regulation efforts.
Counterproductive Culls: The destruction of stable pack structures often provokes the very problems the measures are intended to prevent.
