Dear Guardian,
You may be shocked to learn that a secretive federal program
is using your hard-earned tax dollars to wage a war on wildlife.
Wildlife Services, a program housed in the U.S. Department
of Agriculture, spent $57 million taxpayer dollars last fiscal year to kill
millions of animals at the behest of Big Ag. You can be a voice for wildlife. Tell
the federal government not to spend your tax dollars slaughtering wildlife.
Right now, a Wildlife Services agent could be setting toxic M-44s,
lures primed to shoot poison into the mouth of any animal unlucky enough to be
curious. Wildlife Services agents are spreading traps on your public lands,
poised to spring shut on the foot of any animal that steps in the wrong spot: a
coyote, a bobcat, or even a domestic dog. This extreme cruelty is paid for with
your tax dollars.
Sign today and do your part to protest this misuse of your
tax dollars.
You can help defund this destructive and
wasteful program.
Contact your congressional representatives and ask them to
make sure your tax money does not fund this destructive, out-of-control program.
Defund Wildlife Services.
For the Wild,
Bethany Cotton
Wildlife Program Director
