I don’t think they know how to handle their PR crisis, so they are just gaslighting.
Any suggestion that @AIPAC— an American organization— is anything but pro-American is flat-out wrong and offensive.AIPAC — America's pro-Israel lobby - closely monitors a broad range of issues that affect the U.S.-Israel relationship.

A timely reminder: Who really belongs on public lands — wolves or livestock? Much of the American West is leased to ranchers who target native species like wolves for elimination. Wolves help ecosystems thrive. The West doesn't need more cattle. It needs more wolves. bit.ly/44ATt56

10th Cir. holds that, even though there wasn't on-point precedent from this circuit, it should have been "common sense" that officer could not shoot unleashed dog on private property who was not an immediate danger to anyone. No QI. www.ca10.uscourts.gov/sites/ca10/f...
In our view, common sense should have alerted police officers that
they couldn’t shoot a pet dog in the absence of an immediate danger. See
Viilo v. Eyre, 547 F.3d 707, 710 (7th Cir. 2008) (stating that “common
sense . . . counsel[s] that the use of deadly force against a household pet is
reasonable only if the pet poses an immediate danger and the use of force
is unavoidable”); see also Ramirez v. Killian, 113 F.4th 415, 429 (5th Cir.
2024) (stating that “it is a matter of common sense” that an officer cannot
“go around shooting citizens’ nonaggressive dogs”).
This understanding reflects not only common sense, but also case law
recognizing a constitutional violation when a dog poses no immediate
danger. See Ramirez, 113 F.4th at 428. Other “circuits have invariably
concluded that ‘the use of deadly force against a household pet is
reasonable only if the pet poses an immediate danger and the use of force

Not wolves, but the Red Wolf + Mexican gray wolf recovery programs could certainly be next... The head of FWS' black-footed ferret recovery program was fired earlier this month, along w/ 2 employees who worked at a captive breeding facility. Funding has been frozen too.

This animal is on the edge of extinction. Trump just fired the people trying to save it.
Job cuts and frozen funding could inch one of the world’s rarest species even closer to extinction.
