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.

Wolves help the enviorment, by eating the weak and sick animals.If we kill wolves to extintion, then there would be many sick and weak animals, causing them to possibly go extinct also.

Wolves are wildlife unique to Canada as well as the United States. Any barbaric practice used to kill these magnificent animals should be banned.

Future generations will remember us as babarians who had no respect for life if we continue to exploit the world the way we currently do. Our species has started to spiral out of control - but I know that we are also possible of great things - we must create positive change for the sake of our world's wildlife, environment, and humanity itself.

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. Thank you, Lynn

I am outraged that aerial huntung is even considered ANYWHERE in our country. I am in favor of hunting the traditional way, but this is so cruel. I hope you will do the right thing in banning this atrocious act. - Ally Desautels

Wolves are so cute. Dogs, man's best friend, evolved from wolves, so if you kill a wolf, your killing harmless little dogs and puppies. Why don't you think about that for a change next time you want to go "aerial hunting".

The wolves are beautiful and elegant creatures. If I could stop one animal from going extinct and only one. Without a doubt it would be the wolves. So please stop.

We are destroying a lot of our natural world.These animals have a right to roam free in a small part of our world.It is their world as well as ours.What gives us the right to decide who or what will survive and who or what will not ?Do we really need their part of the earth so much that we are willing to drive them to extinction,mereley to provide ourselves with some everyday item that at the end of the day we can manage perfectly well without ?I am by no means a fanatical animal rights campaigner but I just feel that we have gone too far.We all have to live on this planet together,be it people,animals ,plants,whatever.We all depend on each other in the end.We should all look after each other.Gillian Johnson.
