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.

Why are we, a so-called advance, civilized nation, still perpetuating such slaughter? There is absolutely no justification for this type of behavior. YOU HAVE THE POWER to make a change...please listen to your conscience.

This is a cruel and inhumane way to kill an animal. These wolves have done nothing to humanity, and are less deserved than humans and their evil ways.

These beautiful animals are one of our nation's natural resource. Hunting them is wrong.

Kindly keep your paws off the wolves. Put your energies into the common good such as one I have come across where ranchers have come to understand how the presence of wolves can balance other predators and be of benefit to them in their efforts to run livestock. Hunting is meant to support survival of the hunter, it is not a sport and not a recreation.

Wolves are a vital part of the ecosystem and should be treated as such. Allowing Aerial hunts to continue is pointless. The only function such hunts could possibly serve is to foster the foolish and antiquated machismo of having "hunted the hunter".

Please stop aerial hunting of wolves or any other wildlife. This is an inhumane practice. Cruelty in it's truest form!

Wolves are a beautiful, elegant, and powerful creature in nature that could so easily be wiped out by programs like the aerial hunting. It's horrifying, disgusting, and lacks sportsmanship. Where's the honor or pride in killing an animal with a clear advantage, and for no reason other than the fact that you can? It's cruel, evil, and a horrible act of ignorance. Please put a stop to this, and soon.

Hunting is not a sport. I would have hoped that the human species would have evolved beyond this practice.

Wolves, like all creatures on earth deserve to be treated with respect. As the ancestors of dogs I feel this even more than usual.

killing a trouble wolf is one thing but to kill from the air is not hunting and if you don't want to eat it don't kill it.

Is choosing to destroy wolves in the US going to make this country more fit for humans? What about the natural balance that wolves provide by controlling the population of herbivores? Or will we just go on to shoot those next? When have humans ever stepped back to observe and learn from the delicate balance of nature without plowing through it recklessly first, and later trying halfheartedly to repair the damage? Nicole

What happens when all the wolves, bears and other wildlife have been exhausted? Will aerial hunters then choose to hunt people for sport? Can this nation not treat God's creations with the respect He intended for these majestic creatures? If hunters were stranded in the forest and there was no food, then and only then would it be acceptable to humanely kill an animal for food. But not for sport.... Close this loophole, please.
