Support the PAW Act - End Alaska's Aerial Hunting Program!
Target: U.S. House of Representatives
Sponsored by: Care2.com
Sponsored by: Care2.com
Alaska is truly our nation's last frontier. It is also the last place in the U.S. where a few hunters still use aircraft to chase and kill wolves. They shoot these animals from the air or chase them to exhaustion before landing and shooting them point blank.
Congress passed a law thirty five years ago to put an end to aerial hunting. But Alaska is exploiting a loophole in federal law to resume the practice, not only for wolves, but bears as well. Hundreds of scientists have condemned what Alaska is doing, even as other states threaten to follow Alaska's lead. It's time to stop aerial hunting once and for all.
Rep. George Miller (CA) has introduced the Protect America's Wildlife (PAW) Act, legislation to close a federal loophole and curb Alaska's brutal aerial hunting program -- and prevent programs like it from spreading to places like the Greater Yellowstone region.
Please urge your Representative to sign on as a cosponsor to Rep. George Miller's PAW Act.

Wildlife should only be shot and or killed in the instance of an emergency. Let us not be a society that destroys our wildlife but one that preserves it for future generations to witness.

I am totally appalled with this and can not see how anyone can even think of it. I feel that the distruction of any animal is wrong but this is beyond that. These people take pride in doing this, which shows the worst of human nature. We should be protecting these animals not seeing if we can distroy them for good this time.

As one of your constituents, I am very concerned about the barbaric practice of "aerial hunting" in Alaska, in which state officials are allowing trophy hunters to use aircraft to run down and kill wolves. I also understand that officials in Wyoming and Idaho are considering the use of aerial hunting of wolves by federal and state agencies. That's why I'm asking you to sign on as a cosponsor to H.R. 3663, the Protect America's Wildlife (PAW) Act, introduced by Rep. George Miller. The PAW Act would end needless and cruel aerial hunting of wolves and other wildlife by closing a loophole in the Federal Airborne Hunting Act of 1972.

Please stop this Neanderthal and barbaric slaughter in the name of humanity. Wolves embody the spirit of the wilderness which is disappearing at an exponential rate with global warming. Give our descendants the opportunity to see these beautiful creatures thrive and STOP the butchering!!!

How we treat animals -- both wild and domesticated -- reveals so much about how we treat each other and the rest of the world. Shooting wolves from low-flying aircraft is a terrorist act.

I know money can buy a lot of things, including aircrafts being used by trophy hunters with nothing better to do with their time so they spend ridiculous amounts of money hurting animals that have done nothing to them and are just trying to survive in their own backyard.

As humans, I think it is wrong for us to put ourselves above animals like this. There is no logical reason for us to hunt wolves, or to hunt anything for sport.

They are majestic animals, that perform a crucial role in the arctic environment. Just as a dog is men's best friend, a wolf is nature's best friend.
