Montana’s wildlife—wolves, elk, beavers, songbirds, and so many others—belongs to everyone. Understanding how conservation is funded helps broaden the conversation, reduce conflict, and ensure decision-making reflects the full public that cherishes these species.

At Friday’s hearing conservation groups including Footloose Montana asked the court to halt Montana’s expanded wolf-killing regulations until credible science and data are in place. Judge Abbott has not yet ruled, and the decision will determine whether this year’s aggressive season moves forward.

A deadly loophole lies hidden within Yellowstone, a stretch of land known as the “Zone of Death,” where legal boundaries blur and justice may falter. It’s a reminder that protecting wild places means ensuring our laws safeguard them too.

The federal government has abandoned plans for a nationwide wolf recovery just as Montana raises killing quota to devastating levels. Wolves need protection now more than ever. We must keep raising our voices for the voiceless and fight for a future rooted in coexistence, not cruelty.

For $20, someone can legally take 15 wolves from Montana’s wild places. When life is valued so cheaply, we all lose. Our wolves and our ethics deserve better.

43 wolves.
Not numbers on a report, individuals.
Imagine that many wolves standing before us, enough to stretch a city block. Enough to represent entire packs wiped out, social bonds severed, pups left without guidance, ecosystems thrown off balance.

This Halloween, let’s be brave enough to face the real monster. Let’s build a future where families can explore without fear and where wildlife roams free — not shackled in hidden steel.

A recent letter to the editor reminded Montana’s leaders that our future—and our economy—thrives when wolves do. Thank you to those who speak up for coexistence and a wild Montana; every letter, every word, helps keep our landscapes alive and howling.

While we wish it were enough that bears and all wildlife are valued simply for existing, it’s worth remembering that they give back ecologically, economically, and socially. In Yellowstone alone, each grizzly contributes an estimated $46,000 a year. Protecting the wild protects us all.

A newly published survey by Humane World for Animals reveals that majority of Americans understand that wolves are not the “big bad wolf” of folklore, they’re indispensable to our wild places. According to the article, “78% of those surveyed support continuing federal ESA protections for wolves.”

A local dog narrowly escaped tragedy this week after stepping into a trap less than a foot from the trail on Homestake Pass near Butte.
Thankfully, the dog survived, but this is yet another reminder that Montana’s trails are not always safe for pets, wildlife, or people during trapping season.

Today’s EQC meeting could decide the future of Montana’s wolves. With killing quotas already threatening to wipe out more than half the population, now is the time to speak up for compassion, science, and coexistence.
