[All-Creatures.org NOTE: USDA's Wildlife Services slaughters are a result of demands from the meat, oil and mining industries.]

This is the 16th lawsuit the Center has filed against the Trump administration, which is bent on doing everything it can to wipe out wildlife, pollute our air and destroy public lands.

The Center for Biological Diversity and allies just sued the Trump administration to shut down the federal government's wildlife killing in Idaho.

Our newest suit targets the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Wildlife Services program, which killed thousands of animals last year in the state -- including wolves, coyotes, bears, mountain lions and foxes.

The slaughter has to be stopped. Help us end it with a gift to our Trump Resistance Fund today. Your gift will be matched dollar for dollar.

This is the 16th lawsuit the Center has filed against the Trump administration, which is bent on doing everything it can to wipe out wildlife, pollute our air and destroy public lands.

Wildlife Services is a rogue government program that operates out of public view. Last year it slaughtered 2.7 million animals across the country -- mostly to appease ranching and agricultural interests.

The program's plan for Idaho is as misguided as it is barbaric, using aerial gunners, exploding poisons and deadly traps. These predator-killing programs have been shown to be often useless, as well as cruel and destructive.

Lawsuits fighting Trump are expensive but critical to protecting wildlife. Please make a matched donation to the Center's Trump Resistance Fund on the website at Center for Biological Diversity.

Wildlife Services' tactics don't just threaten targeted species -- their indiscriminate cyanide landmines have killed endangered wolves and family pets. They even caused the recent hospitalization of a teenage boy, and the death of his dog, when the two stumbled on a cyanide device during a walk near their home.

This lawsuit is the second we've filed against Wildlife Services to shut down this grim extermination program -- and we need you by our side.
