Instagram post 2156825061511954352_1524574383 Wyoming predators need your voices - emails, phone calls, letters, and awareness! Tonight, we are co-sponsoring a film screening of “Lethal Control” at the National Museum of Wildlife Art, 7 p.m. in Jackson, WY. As the tragedy involving the killing of two beloved family dogs near Casper, WY and the death of a pet dog and the injury of a minor child near Pocatello, Idaho has shown, these devices are indiscriminate in their lethal effects, and cannot be rendered safe for non-target wildlife, domestic pets, and local residents. Federal and state agencies have no business turning lands, public or private, into potentially deadly minefields for the reported benefit of the livestock industry or any other reason. Please take time to take action and spread the word - we want these killing M-44 “cyanide bombs” and “coyote getters” off our landscapes! Bit.ly/takeactionhaltM44inWyoming Ask “to cease all use of M-44 explosive cyanide devices, also known as “cyanide bombs”, on all land ownerships in the State of Wyoming, and immediately remove any and all M-44’s currently on all land ownerships in Wyoming.” There is a wildlife protection movement in Wyoming with growing partnerships within and outside of the state. Please join us to protect our wildlife! Thank you to the generosity of @ascullyphoto for allowing us to share the grace of this magnificent wild Wyoming coyote. #wyomingwild #wyoming #roamfree #trapfree.

Governor Gavin Newsom just signed AB 1254 into law, putting a stop to the trophy hunting of bobcats in California! This landmark bill will sore hundreds of bobcats every year from a cruel and unnecessary death. | There is a shift worldwide, and, here in Wyoming, to end cruel and unnecessary deaths. | Thanks to all the orgs, groups and individuals for this monumental win wildlife!

Instagram post 2146194158670638009_1524574383 Otters are designated as “protected” animals in Wyoming, and trapping them is not legal. However, traps are indiscriminate, and any animal can be a victim. A trapper is required to report an otter if is “accidentally” caught in a trap or snare, but he’s unaccountable for its death. If protected otters are in the area, traps should not be! | In January 2018 in Wyoming, an otter was found dead in a snare around her neck which “was laid to catch the beavers who had worked all season on a magnificent pair of dams, who wintered in a newly decorated lodge with a supply of cottonwood twigs nearby to feed the kits.” The accidental trapping of an otter is not a crime, and the snare was properly tagged. | To read this story by Susan Marsh about the otter, written from the heart, please find it here: wyominguntrapped.org/blog/story-river-otter-found-dead-snare/ The incredible otter image graciously shared by @goeddelphotography was taken in Yellowstone National Park, a safe zone for otters. Take a look at @goeddelphotography site for additional remarkable Wyoming wildlife images. Thank you, Cindy!
Instagram post 2133914765416048452_1524574383 American martens are rare in the lower 48 states. Although we do not know the number of martens in Wyoming, our wildlife management agencies allow unlimited trapping, shooting, or killing in almost any manner during the winter trapping season. All for just a $45 furbearer license. Throughout the year, martens may become victims of indiscriminate traps. | Look closely into this marten’s eyes, you can clearly see the forest scene before it reflected there. Thank you to photographer Tim Auer for sharing your gorgeous image, www.4B.io.
Instagram post 2129626688816343098_1524574383 Martens are susceptible to over-harvesting and trapping has historically been the primary cause of regional eradication of marten populations throughout North America. We asked a local Wyoming trapper who had a full time high paying job why he trapped. His answered “I want to beat the number I trapped last year .” He traps for fun and trophies. Marten trapping season starts on Oct 1. Please choose to never buy real fur and to support efforts to reform or, better yet, ban the barbaric practice of trapping on our public lands. Please consider supporting Wyoming Untrapped and give these creatures a voice. WyomingUntrapped.org Thanks to @kerry.singleton for sharing this marten “with an attitude”. A truly rare capture! #wyomingwild #trapemwithacamera
Instagram post 2124183537636925337_1524574383 This is a wild wolf in #yellowstonenationalpark protected in one of the few safe zones in Wyoming. On September 1, the wolf hunt season opened in the state. Any hunter can purchase two tags and take any wolf until a quota has been met in trophy zone areas. Pups barely four months old can be taken, basically sitting ducks. In fact, last hunt season, the majority of take were pups the first two months of the hunt season. For what? Trophies and fun? Unconscionable. To learn more about the story behind this image, please visit @yellowstoneguide. Thank you, Jort! #wyoming #wyomingwild #wyominglife #trapfree #freedomtoroam

Instagram post 2115774731211117715_1524574383 “Disturbingly, American pine martens are heavily trapped for their fur throughout most of their range. In my home state of Wyoming alone, marten trapping is essentially unlimited during the winter trapping season....Modern day marten trapping is not a necessity for anybody.” @samparksphoto Thanks for sharing, Sam! #oldbills2019 #wyomingwild #wyoming #americanpinemarten
