We can still force the White House to call off the guns — before any shots are fired — but we must move quickly.

The Bush Administration has just handed down its long-awaited “License to Kill” rule. It’s the equivalent of a death sentence for hundreds of endangered gray wolves in Greater Yellowstone and across the Northern Rockies.

Millions of Americans have no idea that the Bush Administration is planning to spend our tax dollars to slaughter hundreds of wolves — while they are still protected under the Endangered Species Act!

But with your help, millions of Americans will know within a matter of days.

And thousands of them will go online and urge their members of Congress to unite in opposition to this outrageous attack on an endangered species.

At the very same time, our partner organization — the Natural Resources Defense Council – will be challenging the Bush Administration’s cold-blooded plan in federal court.

Together, we can block the slaughter — before it starts — but only if we act swiftly.

Planes and helicopters, capable of killing entire packs of wolves in seconds, are waiting for the Open Fire order that could come at any time.

So please, read the full ad right now and make an emergency online contribution.

Help us give America’s wolves a fighting chance. Thank you.

If you are concerned about the source of the foods you eat, please take a moment to tell your Senators to co-sponsor the Cloned Food Labeling Act

With very little data to go on, the FDA has decided that milk and meat from cloned animals and their offspring are safe to eat. This decision to allow the sale of meat and milk from cloned animals leaves consumers at risk and releases another questionable technology into the food supply.

There is an underlying objection here, based on ethical and animal welfare concerns. But despite the widespread public disapproval, the FDA is not planning to require labeling of products from cloned animals.

Without labeling, you won’t be able to choose whether or not to buy meat from clones. Unless we tell Congress to support labeling of cloned foods, the FDA will keep already wary consumers in the dark.
