Please take advantage of this last chance to keep our national
parks a safe haven for wildlife:

Park rangers are struggling to stay one step ahead of poachers,
but -- pressured into a reckless about-face by the radical
leaders of the National Rifle Association -- the National Park
Service is considering a change in the law that would allow park
visitors to carry loaded weapons in national parks. The NPS
extended the deadline for public comments, so you can still help
if you act fast. Please speak out to keep wildlife and park
visitors safe: https://community.hsus.org/campaign/US_2...4v7xk7m3m?

Illegal wildlife killing in the United States has reached
epidemic proportions. Wildlife officials estimate that for every
wild animal hunted legally -- tens of millions of animals per
year -- another is killed illegally. And with scarce wildlife
enforcement resources and countless acres of open land, only a
handful of poachers are caught and punished for their crimes.

Allowing loaded weapons will give cover to poachers who would
take aim at park wildlife. Currently, the presence of a loaded
weapon is the main clue available for rangers in discovering and
identifying poachers.

TAKE ACTION
Help park rangers protect wildlife and stop the NRA's latest
assault on America's wildlife. Send a message to government
officials and ask that they keep loaded weapons out of national
parks:

Please tell your friends and family how they can help, too:

The government is only accepting comments for a short time, so
please take action now. Thank you for all you do for animals!

Sincerely,
