Put a stop to Aerial Wolf Hunting

Alaska Governor Sarah Palin is promoting and encouraging a barbaric, inhumane, and cruel act of wildlife massacre. She has even gone as far as offering cash rewards for the severed legs of the animals murdered. Hunting is one thing, even though in my opinion it is wrong to kill an animal unless you intend to eat it, which rules out hunting of carnivores. But these majestic animals are chased and shot from planes and helicopters. There are attacked in the open, where there is no place to hide. You cannot get a clean shot from a moving plane, so wolves and other animals are left to die in horrific pain and terror. Congress has passed a Federal Airborne Hunting Act in 1972, to stop this barbarism. But Sarah Palin found a loop hole. Airborne hunting is allowed "to protect land, livestock, and human life". Aerial hunting is allowed now in areas where the caribou and moose numbers are dwindling. And they will try to argue that the hunting is to keep the prey numbers up. But wolves and other predators keep the herds healthy. And that excuse is a load of bull #$%!. If the herds are small, human hunters can't have fun killing them as well. So know, conveniently, they can hunt the herds, and shoot wolves and other defenceless animals from planes.

Hunting should not be a sport. Animals%u2019 lives should only be taken for food, or to end their suffering. Not so you have more animals to kill, and to cause suffering and abuse on animals who should live free and without fear.

Help end the massacre. Protect these magnificent creatures.
