The Alberta Government is currently endorsing an experiment by the University of Alberta that will sterilize the Alpha male and female and destroy other wolves in the pack.  The U of A plans to destroy the wolf pups by shooting them.  

This experiment is partially geared toward satisfying elk hunters.  By decreasing the number of wolves who natually prey on elk there would be more elk for hunters to gun for.

We ask all opposed to this erroneous experiment to please sign the petition and forward on to any one you feel would be interested.   If you are the 1000th signature please forward onto  uofapres@ualberta.ca .  You can also contact the Government of Alberta directly with your own comments concerning this matter.  http://alberta.ca/home/Feedback.cfm
