Unless you kill a whole lot of them. Kill just a few wolves, a new study finds, and livestock losses actually rise.

💔 1479F is gone.
On September 17th, 2025, the last surviving pup of the legendary Yellowstone wolf 907F was gunned down the moment she crossed Yellowstone’s invisible border into Montana’s Wolf Management Unit 316.

1479F was more than a wolf. She was a symbol of resilience and devotion, often seen nurturing pups and holding her pack together through the unbreakable bonds that define wolf families. For countless visitors, even a fleeting glimpse of her was unforgettable.

But a line on a map sealed her fate. Inside Yellowstone, she was valued and protected. Outside it, she became a target. One step over that boundary, and her life—her bloodline, her legacy, her pack’s keystone—was erased by a single bullet.

Officials call this “management.” They tally, they report, they justify. But they do not protect. 1479F was not a statistic. She was the daughter of 907F, the last thread of her lineage, and part of Yellowstone’s living spirit.

Every wolf lost is more than just one life. It is the unraveling of family, of memory, of balance within the wild.

If governments will not act, then we must. Let 1479F’s death be the moment where silence ends.

Yesterday, I lost one of my most inspirational people. She is one of the humans who inspired me on the journey of wildlife and animal conservation. She passed away peacefully at the age of 91. Rest in peace. Thank you for your guidance 🙏

She is one of my favorite people who has ever walked the earth. And she made this earth a much better place. I hope her inspiration endures for generations. She shed a whole new light on our perspective of animals, especially chimpanzees, of course. Animals undoubtedly possess thoughts, feelings, and problem-solving abilities. She was a sagacious and caring person. If only everyone could be like her. I will miss her dearly

Where’s the beef? Don’t ask wolves…

Despite their big, bad reputation, a recent study found that wolves account for .009% of unintended cattle losses nationwide - fewer than are lost to domestic dogs, theft, or birds.

So what’s the real threat? Most of those deaths stemmed from health-related maladies, weather, and theft.

Instead of just praying. We also must protect what God gave us, this beautiful nature. It is everyone's duty and responsibility for preservation and conservation.

The U.S. House of Representatives has passed H.R. 8998, which includes harmful environmental and wildlife provisions, mainly by removing federal protections for gray wolves across the lower 48 states. The bill passed narrowly with a 210 to 205 vote, primarily along party lines, despite opposition from over 80 environmental groups. This removal of crucial protections under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) could have devastating effects on gray wolf populations, leading to widespread killings, as seen in states where these protections were previously lifted. The lack of ESA protections has also allowed individuals like Cody Roberts, who murdered a young wolf in cold blood, to escape consequences. Now, more than ever, wolves need your support.
Please take action today by calling, writing, and urging your state senators to vote no on this bill. Gray wolves are depending on us to protect them! We will not let them down.
