Michigan State Representative Dave Prestin, R-Cedar River, recently introduced HB 6008, which would require the Michigan Department of Natural Resources to establish a wolf hunting season within 90 days of gray wolves being removed from the federal Endangered Species List. The bill capitalizes on fear and misinformation, and would allow wolves to be killed for trophy.
Please contact your state representative and urge them to OPPOSE HB 6008. There’s no justification for a wolf hunt - it's just killing for sport.

Oppose H.B. 6008 and Block Trophy Hunting of Wolves
Dear [Decision Maker],
Please protect Michigan's gray wolves and vote NO on HB 6008. If passed, this bill would require the Department of Natural Resources to establish a wolf hunting season within 90 days of gray wolves losing federal Endangered Species Act protections. This bill is not science-based, relies on incorrect assumptions, and does not reflect the desires of the majority of Michiganders. There is no scientific evidence that supports wolf hunting to control population numbers, boost prey populations, or change wolf behaviors. Michigan's wolf population has been relatively stable over the last few years and does not need to be managed by a hunting season. Wolves, like all animals, are naturally self-regulating.
