Stop Corporate-Sponsored Wolf Slaughters

Target: Cabela's and Sportsman's Warehouse
Sponsored by: Defenders of Wildlife Action Fund

What is a "predator derby?" It's a contest, where people compete to see who can kill the most wolves and other animals over a two-day period. What is a predator derby, really? It's a relic, from a time when we didn't know how important wolves are to the health of the American west.
Cabela's and Sportsman's Warehouse -- two major outdoor retailers -- sponsored three wolf-killing derbies in Idaho, held by the misleadingly named Sportsmen for Wildlife. Even worse the fees paid by derby contestants were funneled to support anti-wolf lawyers and lobbyists whose job is to keep wolves off the endangered species list and in the crosshairs.
Grassroots opposition has already convinced Nikon to drop its sponsorship of the predator derbies. Now its time for Cabela's and Sportsman's Warehouse to hear from citizens concerned for wolves and the American west.
Demand that Cabela's and Sportsman's Warehouse stop sponsoring wolf-killing predator derbies.
