Members of Friends of Animals, Predator Defense, and Howl Across America held a rally outside of the state capitol to tell Governor Schweitzer to stop the assault on gray wolves.
They say Montana does not know how many wolves live in the state, and it should not allow Montanans to hunt the animals.
They are encouraging supporters to boycott Montana and the states that persecute wolves.
Dr. Catherine Feher-Elston, Author of the Naturesong book series, pleads, “Stop killing wolves because wolves are an essential part of a strong ecological system and they contribute many millions of dollars to the state of Montana just in tourism alone.”
Advocates claim that there is no evidence that wolves negatively affect cattle or elk.
There were speakers on hand, posters, and loud chants to try to get the government’s attention.”
