Target: US government and US Fish and Wildlife Service
Region: United Kingdom
Result:
Thank you. I will now submit this petition to its target.
Petition Background (Preamble):
Wolves are the ancestor of domestic dogs. Many people think that they are dangerous creatures, but they are only dangerous if they are tormented or if they are starving hungry because humans have driven away their prey.
Ranchers often fire the guns in the air to frighten the wolves instead of killing them. Despite this, however, the US government plan on culling wolves. The methods used here would be extremely cruel and would probably involve poisoning and shooting.
Despite what some people may tell you, shooting is not a humane death. If you miss and hit an animal in the wrong place, you can injure it and it will probably die slowly due to blood loss or starvation. Poisoning is also a very cruel death. The animals that are poisoned can, depending on the type of poison, take hours to die, and they will almost certainly be in terrible pain.
Wolves are an endangered species and we don't know how many are left now. This "cull" could bring the species even closer to extinction.

Petition:
We, the undersigned, call on the US government and US Fish and Wildlife Service to halt their plans to kill wolves in the USA.
If it weren't for wolves, we would never have had dogs, and dogs have saved thousands, if not millions, of lives since we first came together.
