Target: Deb Haaland, United States Secretary of the Interior
A Montana woman, Amber Rose Barnes, reportedly bragged about killing what she “thought” to be a baby wolf. In a Facebook post, she apparently wrote how excited she was about the opportunity to “take another predator wolf pup,” seemingly expecting to be celebrated by the online community. However, in the extremely disturbing photos posted to accompany the text, one thing is made blatantly apparent—Barnes did not slaughter a wolf puppy, but instead, had seemingly hunted and skinned a domestic husky puppy.
Barnes is a part of a subculture of people who seemingly do not understand the ecological significance of these species—who apparently take pride in killing beautiful animals and are enabled to do so without any regard for the animals’ welfare by the law. While on February 10, 2022 several federal protections were reinstated for wolves in much of the contiguous United States, these protections were not restored in the Northern Rocky Mountain Region. This region, however, is the site where over 80% of wolf hunting occurs, with over 1,000 wolves being slaughtered here on a yearly basis.
Sign this petition to demand legislators restore vital protections for wolves in the Northern Rockies and prevent despicable people from partaking in their ruthless slaughter.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear Secretary Haaland,
A Montana woman by the name of Amber Rose Barnes reportedly killed and skinned a husky puppy by mistake when hunting for wolves. This incident comes after the decision earlier this year to restore federal protections for wolves in some—but not all—of the United States. These protections were not reinstated in the Northern Rocky Mountain Region, where over 80% of wolf hunting occurs and over 1,000 wolves are slaughtered each year. We should not be encouraging people to commit unnecessary acts of violence against wolves. Not only are they beautiful, highly social creatures, but they are extremely important to the ecosystems of which they are a part and have formidable impacts on entire geographical regions.
We are asking you, Ms. Haaland, to protect wolves in all regions throughout the U.S. and stop allowing this bloodshed.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]

Amber Rose Barnes should be punished. That is no excuse for her mistake. 😡😡😡👊🏼👊🏼
“JUSTICE FOR THE HUSKY PUP”
AND WHY IS THIS ALLOWED ON FACEBOOK?!!! I left that years ago.
Another pos gun nut.
One fine day, Nature’s Intelligence is going to eradicate all those who don’t revere it. Can’t wait!
She needs to be punished to the fullest extent of the law. The law should protect wolf’s as well but clearly clearly killing and skinning a husky dog must be punishable. What a sick individual. Watch out for your children. Those that kill and torture animals are also preditors of humans.
