Dear Friends and Friends of the Wolf,

 
With your strong spirit and loud voice, we have spared Alberta wolves from horrible fates. YES, the Province and University of Alberta have abandoned plans to capture at least five family packs, sterilize alpha pairs, and kill all pups and subordinates.
 
Your letters joined hundreds of others to oppose this misguided and atrocious "experiment." U of A alumni withdrew funding support, Minister Morton's constituents withdrew political support, and people across Alberta and North America expressed their outrage. Alberta newspapers questioned the province's sanity and called for the government to "step back" (see attached). The University convened a scientific review committee that questioned many aspects of the proposal.
 
Defenders of Wildlife lead the charge in this critical campaign. We are honoured that you and hundreds of others joined us to insist on responsible wildlife management in this most irresponsible of provinces. We will keep you posted on what happens next.
 
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR STRONG VOICE FOR ALBERTA WOLVES!
