“The matriarch 1090F is going down on the 15th of September."

Antonis K. posted that on Facebook, before vowing to bring four friends to Wyoming to "harvest" her. A second hunter said he'd take the shot too. Wildlife advocates tried offering $10,000 to expose whoever did it, then had to pull the offer, Wyoming law protects hunters' identities.

1090F is the matriarch of Mollie's Pack, Yellowstone's oldest wolf family, known for generations as skilled bison hunters, tracing back to the original 1995-96 reintroduction. At 12 years old, she's almost one hunting season away from becoming the oldest wolf ever recorded in Wyoming.

Her pack left Yellowstone's protection this summer, denning right outside the boundary where hunting is legal. People begged Wyoming's Game and Fish Commission to close just that one zone, just for this pack, just for this season. One official got 1,100 emails in five minutes. "She is dangerously close to being the oldest wolf ever recorded in Wyoming," he admitted. They said no anyway.

On September 15th, the exact day hunters targeted her, most of the pack was confirmed back inside Yellowstone's boundary. But there are new pups this season, now finally old enough to travel with the pack, and that makes everyone more vulnerable. Yellowstone wolves grow up used to tourists and vehicles, not guns. They haven't learned to fear humans the way wolves outside the park have. The hunt remains open, and wolves don't adhere to boundaries.

There's already talk of stripping wolves of federal protection entirely. Trump signed an executive order giving his administration 90 days to decide whether to move forward. That wouldn't touch wolves inside Yellowstone's boundary, protection there doesn't come from this law anyway. But wild animals don't know where that boundary is. I'll keep you posted as this develops.

But this is what you can do today. Tell Wyoming to close Wolf Hunt Area 1 before the September 22nd meeting.🐺

This should horrify all animal lovers:

A new directive sent to US Fish and Wildlife Service employees this week means imperiled species can be legally killed in the course of development or other activities:

To now be considered illegal, it would have to be proven they were intentionally targeted, rather than killed as an unintended consequence—it's like a license to kill.

Just think of the implications: Killing endangered animals while logging a forest won't be illegal unless the animals were specifically targeted under this changed interpretation of the Endangered Species Act by the Trump administration.

It's a seismic change which strips even more protection from beloved animal species in the US—the ones which need our safeguarding most urgently.

It's a grim turnaround from past practice at the wildlife service, which up to now held people legally liable for harming protected species—such as denning polar bears, manatees, Rice's whales, North Atlantic right whales, sea turtles or endangered owls—even when the harm was an unintended consequence of their activities.

So now there's no disincentive to harm—they can do what they like without a care and with impunity.

If you're on the fence, think about these extremely vulnerable animals when you vote in November—remember these are species already at risk of extinction.

Political leaders come and go, but extinction is forever.

Your trolley is helping fund an extinction crisis.

Palm oil is in countless everyday products, from Nutella and biscuits to chocolate, instant noodles, soap and cosmetics. Forests are cleared and deliberately burned to make way for plantations, destroying habitats and leaving wildlife with nowhere to go.

Orangutans • Sumatran elephants • Bornean pygmy elephants • Tigers • Sumatran rhinos • Sun bears • Gibbons • Proboscis monkeys • Pangolins • Hornbills • Clouded leopards • Malayan tapirs • Slow lorises • Leopard cats • Tarsiers • Flying squirrels • Civets • Frogs • Reptiles and insects to name but a few.

The IUCN says at least 193 threatened species are affected by palm oil production.

Every palm oil purchase has a body count. Read the ingredients. Stop the funding.

The "Final Goodbye" - the viral photo capture the two captive Asian elephants stretching their trunks toward each other from separate transport trucks, one final time before being separated forever....

In December 2016, a photograph taken on an Indian highway captured a moment that moved people worldwide. Freelance writer Sowmya Vidyadhar shared the image online, highlighting a moment of connection before both animals entered a lifetime of human service.

This interaction shows that animals experience deep emotional responses.

Elephants live in close family groups led by older females, forming lifelong bonds.

They raise calves together, share food, and support each other during times of distress.

"Elephants have a remarkable capacity for empathy," notes animal behavior researcher Dr. Ananya Rao.

"They remember family members for decades, mourn their dead, and show clear sadness when losing a companion. When taken from their herds, they experience significant grief."

The highway photograph illustrates the impact of captivity.

As traffic passed, the elephants focused entirely on each other, using their trunks to comfort one another.

"You could hear them making soft rumbling sounds. It was clear they did not want to separate."

For decades, elephants have been captured for work in temples, tourism, and heavy labor. While valued for their physical strength, the emotional strain of separation is often overlooked.

Being removed from a herd leads to long-term isolation.

Looking at that photograph, we are left to reflect on how we interact with the natural world. By recognizing animal emotions, we can support better protection and freedom for future generations of elephants.

This heartbreaking farewell is not an isolated incident; it is the everyday reality of an industry that treats living, feeling beings as mere tools for human profit.

Until we refuse to support businesses that exploit wild animals, we remain complicit in their suffering.

Real compassion means speaking up against animal abuse and demanding that these emotional, intelligent creatures be allowed to live free in the wild where they belong.

Genuinely some disgusting shit
1090F is on track to become the oldest wolf in Yellowstone EVER. Quite literally in a few months. That's groundbreaking
The Mollies are the oldest surviving pack in the park too

America's wild horses have roamed free on the western plains for hundreds of years.

That's what animals do. It's their nature. It's their home. Wild horses roam free.

What the Trump administration and Doug Burgum's BLM are doing to these horses is cruel, greed-driven, and unforgivable.

Call your representative and demand protections be placed on these beautiful animals before it's too late. Support horse rescue nonprofits who are doing the hard, heartbreaking work to save them.

And VOTE. #loathehard
