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.

Hunting is cruel and not necessary - especially just for sport. Injuring and killing animals for sport is selfish and barbaric. Human beings should be care taking and protecting our animal brothers and sisters - not killing them. Ariel killing is particularly awful and totally unmanly. Killing defenseless animals in the name of pride and sport is utterly shameful.

wolves are an important part of the ecosystem, we have seen already what happens when you remove wolves and other apex predators from a system, and it is not pretty. please close this loop hole that allows wolves to be killed for no good reason, in a fashion thats not even sporting, before our beautiful lands are drasticly and catastophicly altered

Please stop this senseless hunting of Wolves. There is plenty of other game to hunt, kill, eat, even for trophy's. Let's let the wolf make a comeback.

Dear Congress Representative, It appears that we must start to learn to respect individuals and animals that cannot speak for themselves, first and formost. We kindly ask that you consider that crations are all ousr and we will be pleased if you could help us protect them and keep them alive. Sincerely yours, Alexander D`Agata.

Maybe we should start hunting humans the way they have been cowardly hunting defensless animals. then we can mount their skins on our walls and claim to be a man. cowards and devils is all we're becoming. i will raise my child to despise such. you power hungry mongers will lose your control and money and fame and pretty furs will no longer keep you safe and warm. Gaia is coming for your throats.
