EcoUprising: CALL TO ACTION: Stop the SHARE Act

The House is expected to vote on the Sportsmen’s Heritage and Recreational Enhancement Act, or SHARE Act, this week. This bill would delist wolves permanently and prohibit bans of lead ammunition or fishing gear - among other disastrous impacts to wildlife Please take the following actions to ensure that your Representative votes NO on the SHARE Act.

CALL: Find your Representative's phone number HERE and tell him or her to VOTE NO ON THE SHARE ACT (HR 3668).

EMAIL: Find your Representative's contact form HERE. Tell him or her in your own words to oppose the SHARE Act or copy and paste the following:

Please vote NO on the SHARE Act, HR 3668. This law would undermine the Endangered Species Act by legislatively delisting gray wolves in the Great Lakes permanently. This would preclude judicial review and also prevent the USFWS from ever re-listing the wolves if science indicated that they had become endangered. This is a recipe for extinction.

The SHARE Act would also expand trapping which is an indiscriminate and barbaric method for killing wildlife. Expanded trapping not only increases the number of wildlife that would suffer needlessly and cruelly but it increases the odds that non-target wildlife, including endangered species, as well as family pets could be trapped.

Finally, this terrible bill would ban any regulation of lead ammunition or fishing gear, both of which are responsible for poisoning birds and wildlife by the millions each year.

The SHARE Act has been through Congress many times and has always been rejected. Please make sure that the House rejects this very bad bill again. PLEASE VOTE NO ON HR3668, THE SHARE ACT.
