Wolves were eradicated from the American West by the mid-1900s at the behest of the livestock industry.  Science now tells us that wolves are critical to the health of the landscapes that they inhabit. WildEarth Guardians uses a variety of tools, including policy advocacy, public education and litigation to advance the cause of weaving wolves back into the heart of the American West.  Last April, Congress eliminated federal protection for wolves in the Northern Rocky Mountains. Idaho and Montana immediately set hunting seasons on this endangered animal. The result is that 410 wolves killed by sport hunters this winter alone.  However less than 1,300 wolves live in those two states.  Now Hollywood is inciting terror instead of instilling awe for this beautiful and charismatic creature. Wendy Keefover explains to host Nikki Kayser about the dangers of the new anti-wolf film called “The Grey”.
