Target: President Donald Trump
Goal: Stop allowing hunting of endangered species in wildlife refuges.
A Trump Administration agency is tearing its mission statement to shreds. The U.S. Department of the Interior, the agency that is supposed to conserve public lands and wildlife, is violating its duties and catering to special interests. This time, the department stands accused of giving hunters free reign to slaughter animals on close to 150 wildlife refuges and hatcheries. Undeterred in its effort to encourage the massacre of as many vulnerable living beings as possible, this supposed defender of conservation also stripped vital protections from endangered grey wolves.
The Interior Department unsurprisingly disregarded science and neglected to analyze the impact of its free-for-all hunting decision on endangered species. A director for the Center for Biological Diversity said, “we’ve never before seen such a massive expansion of bad hunting practices on these public lands.” The Fish and Wildlife Service, the branch of the Interior Department under scrutiny in this case, defended itself by claiming it was “increasing recreational access.” These lobbyists and opportunists apparently believe spilling the blood of endangered animals over 2.3 million acres of public land is a good time for all.
Wildlife such as jaguars living in these supposed safe havens will now have their lives put at risk by bullets and by toxic chemicals. Meanwhile, grey wolves have already been put back in the crosshairs of eager hunters after the Interior Department removed the animals from its list of endangered species. This move abruptly took away over four decades of protections that have allowed the wolves to make a slow recovery. These animals still only occupy about 20 percent of their historic habitat, however, and now their resurgence could suffer a permanent setback.
Sign the petition below to demand a federal agency that is supposed to conserve stop doing everything in its power to destroy instead.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear President Donald Trump,
Bear cubs, wolf pups, grey wolves, jaguars, and now untold numbers of animals across 150 refuges and hatcheries: enough is enough, Mr. President. The people are telling you to stop slaughtering wildlife, but you refuse to listen. We recognize that you, sir, are beholden to special interests.
You are the one violating the public trust with every new dictate that opens our public lands and its inhabitants to pillage and slaughter. You have the blood of this nation’s natural legacy on your hands. We demand that you not spill another ounce from innocent and endangered living beings.
Revoke hunting permissions for wildlife refuges and wildlife dens immediately. Restore protections for grey wolves. Stop the destruction.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]

So behind the times with no thought to the future but then you have a creepy kid just like yourself
Anyone that kills baby animals should be put to fucking deathAll animal abusers
What kind of person finds sport in hunting a wildlife refuge? That’s pathetic!
That is why we should allow everyone at the age of 18 (monitory )sign up for the military . Maybe we can then stop the destruction of many things in our country
Poor trumptard. LMAO!!! Cadet bone spurs and his spawn HATE THE MILITARY.
There is nothing is nothing worse then so called human ???? Beings !!!!! With no respect for innocent voiceless animal beings. Who deserve to live there rightful lives with there family’s. Slaughtering them is unacceptable. They have feelings and hearts and souls!!!!!.
Stop the killing of innocent animals.
There is no cure for stupid!!!
For dotard or his cultists.
Stop evoking Trump’s name to garner signatures. Just because something is permissible (if it’s even true) doesn’t mean you have to participate in it. Blame the hunters who choose to kill animals. Blame the local officials who do nothing to stop it. Blame the elected state officials who are beholden to local special interests and donors. Go up the chain of decision-makers before you blame the President. Because ForceChange’s perspective on this petition, I personally know at least 15 people who won’t sign it. Ultimately, the poor animals lose because petition sites choose to play politics.
Trump is the one who signed the bill to allow these killings just like he overturned Obamas trophy import ban. Trumps two boys Don Jr and the other idiot son are avid big game hunters. He also has weakened the Endangered Species Act so hunters can kill wildlife who are protected in order to make it easier for big oil and gas corporations to go in and drill and frack on protected lands. In turn he sells off these protected lands to the highest bidder…alot of lands are in National parks and refuges.
congress passes the laws and makes them they can over turn things
Cannot fix stupid trumptards like you.
I couldn’t have said it better. Thank you. The whole purpose of this petition is to trash Trump. I’m sure he would stop the killing if he knew about it. He has already passed a law against animal abuse.
Liar like liar in chief. Stop making us laugh.
You are not informed!
Trump who destroys al the protective laws established by President Obama!
I pray everyday that he will be defeated !
Trumptards cannot accept the truth.
obama did nothing. worst pres. we ever had. This is a state by state situation
Are you insane?!? Trump signed the order! Trump made it legal ON PURPOSE! Trump and his kids LOVE killing! His kid murdered an endangered sheep and he killed 200K people by ignoring covid!
Dumb and dumber killed more than sheep. Elephants, tigers. etc. All on Facebook. Cut tail off of elephant to show what he did.
Unhinging trumptard.
Trump signed these laws and in many cases OVERTURNED the protections. Fuck him!
I can never understand why anyone hates animals. Do they think that other species are useless or just a nuisance? They need to get educated to the fact that we NEED animals to keep this planet running smoothly. And I don’t mean important in that they supply sport for some humans. To be allowed to kill animals on a refuge is just mindless. I realize that some control may be needed at times, but if left alone the animals take care of it themselves. The wolves and other predators will keep the prey animals in check, and with the prey at a certain level, the predators will also be balanced. Nature can take care of it’s own. Humans don’t need to help. If people would value every life like they value their own, then there wouldn’t be an issue.
I’m a DIE HARD TRUMP SUPPORTER… MR PRESIDENT YOU NEED TO STOP THESE SENSELESS ACT OF DESTRUCTION…. PLEASE!!!! I’m ALSO A DIE HARD ANIMAL SUPPORTER. PLEASE STOP!!
WOW!!! To support a man who constantly lies, makes up conspiracy theories, refers to fallen soldiers as losers and suckers, is a racist, sexist, homophobe, calls white supremists very fine people and downplayed a potential deadly virus that has so far killed over 228,000 lives…it says alot about your ignorant true character. Obviously your dignity has fallen through the floor like his administration, Republican politician enablers and the rest of his supporters has…disgraceful!!!
Brainwashed trumptards.
I’m sure he will stop it as soon as he learns of it.
Disgusting. Trump is the Head of state he can make a decision to stop this and it would be done. As for the hunters Hang Them!!!
Vote Trumps anti animal, anti environment, anti middle class, anti clean air land water, sexist, homophobic, racist, egotistical disgraceful Piece Of Total Useless Sh*t a*s out tomorrow.
#RECORD REPUBLICANS LEAVE OFFI
CE.Vote BLUE
Vote him and his ugly supporters out and stop the killing of animals with a new policy!!
This is cruel, barbaric, evil, inhumane, and heartless!!! Murder is committed daily against people and animals!!! ALL of these acts are WRONG!!! These animals are babies!!!
So it still falls on each human NOT to be hunting these lovely animals!!! Remember what hitler did was legal…did not make that action right for anyone. It is an atrocity that Trump would do this, but then each human needs to step up and be a DECENT human and not hunt…..
Hope scum bag trump and his retarded boys burn in hell
We need this asshole out of the white house!
NOW!!
he’s out Obama is gone
Poor trumptard trash. I love you clowns
Poor trumptard.
dump will do anything to continue the family cruelty – as if the things he does aren’t enough. Those arrogant ignorant punk thrill-killer bait and murder sons of his will be so happy. It is all just so very sick and cruel. They must be stopped and every animal needs protection….IMO
Don’t like Biden or Trump and wasn’t going to vote for either one, but I will now vote for Biden because of this.
Republicans are so against abortions but a lot have no problem killing off endangered wildlife.
Trump does not care about animals and is the only president not to have a pet in the white house. He stated at one of his pointless rallies how would I look walking a dog on the white house lawn? His sons are hunters and trump has also overturned many environmental protection acts put in place by Obama. Please do your research before you defend this despicable soulless monster. If you love animals you will do the right thing by them and not support a person who hates them!
Please stop this! These animals are being slaughtered FOR NOTHING. THEY FEEL AND SUFFER NEEDLESSLY.
